Ask HN: Java – looking for a persisten and embedded DB

[shorty_]

Hi Guys,

i want to create a Java app and looking for a suitable DB.

The requirements are: - user must be able to run the software offline - user should not have to install any DB-Software (i.e. mySQL server)

so the DB should be embedded in my Java software and should create any filed to save the data.

Thank you very much in advance!

If you don't need full SQL then you can use embedded key-value stores: - RocksDB - MapDB

Thx!
