Sqlite can be very fast, but it needs the proper setup for that

Beyond that, Sqlite has a lot of high profile users (not to make a

seem to mention if
it was embedded or client/server):

There are other less known uses of course, like the Fossil VCS and
AFAIK Apple also
uses it for the time capsule and FS versioning.
Honestly, i wouldn't put down Sqlite :-).
I would. Any database that allows you to store a string in a field
that is declared as integer (as sqlite does), is out. It goes against
the basic rules of the RDBMs: ACID. Period.
If you ever encounter such a situation, the whole pascal db code
simply goes 'poof'.
If the table definition says 'integer', it should be an integer. if
sqlite does not guarantee this (and it does not, it considers this a
feature), it is out.
I don't even understand that any pascal programmer (pascal being
stronly typed) can consider such a system. But there are many things I
don't understand :)
Is there any other free WinCE database engine?
