*** 17,29 **** be copied between machines with differing byte orders or alignment restrictions. To move a Firebird database between platforms you have to back it up on the old platform then restore it on the new platform. - Thus Firebird is not appropriate for use as an application file format - where SQLite is a good choice. *Engine Footprint* The complete SQLite library is about 230KiB statically linked. By ! omitted unused features, the size of SQLite can be reduced to around 170KiB. The size of Firebird is measured in megabytes - size of fbembed.dll is 1,5MB. The size of firebird is reported to be shrinking, but it is still roughly 10 times larger than SQLite and is never expected to be as lightweight. --- 17,27 ---- be copied between machines with differing byte orders or alignment restrictions.
