tiny standalone relational database
« on: January 10, 2026, 05:13 PM »
Is there a standalone relational database out there?  Just a self-contained, portable db.  Maybe it could rely on json or csv and text files?  I'm looking for one with a simple form-builder included.  I don't want to go so far as Access or the Office-suite dbs.

I'm thinking something more like TablePro or Skwire's SnapDB except those are only spreadsheets, not dbs.

See if my Database Designer fits your needs. I can always add features that you may need.

And if the previous suggestion doesn't work out for you, try: SQLlite

Free to use, small, portable (if you want it to be) and available for all the main operating systems.

Emily-Elizabeth - that looks interesting!

Shades - SQLite is good enough, and I've used before as a datbase, but I want to find a form-builder to go with it.

Perhaps GS-Base?

Here's a DC GS-Base Mini-Review by wraith808.
