What do Windows Django developers use for small local databases?
MySQL seems overkill if you're just doing local development on a
Windows box--or as in my case, installing a single-user app that is
shown as a web front-end.
I use PostgreSQL on Windows. For me, anything else isn't worth the
brainspace now.
If you are looking for something nicely self-contained and
cross-platform I think Firebird is probably worth a look. I haven't
looked at it for some time now but when I was looking for a dbms which
would be seamlessly stand-alone for single-user apps and client-server
in a network it was the only sensible solution. Everything else required
separate installation and setup for the dbms in a single-user
environment. It would probably work on a smartphone.
I don't know how the Firebird Django backend is progressing but when I
last looked it seemed well advanced.
Well... I've not done much Django (just deleted my first attempt,
which goes back to Django 1.1 or so; and never did get beyond the admin
interface)...
But I tend to do a lot of scratch work using the SQLite3 that is
part of the standard Windows Python binary installer (though I use
ActiveState's binary install of Python). I'm not configured to build
from sources.
OTOH: I do have MySQL running as a server on my desktop machine --
primarily using the old CherryPy/CherryTemplate system to generate
static pages for upload to the Bestiaria web-site.
