re: MYSQL vs QED


Well, you haven't googled hard enough. There are plenty of qed entries. See the product maker at http://www.quadcap.com/home.html

Since I have no experience with QED, I can only give some differences I noticed.
- QED is a single file db
- QED is useable for Java applications only (at least that is what I could find)
- QED is locally installed at the PC and has no server and no db administration

A configurable in-memory cache also helps boost performance by reducing disk operations.

QED is designed for applications which need full database functionality without administrative overhead of a typical database. Because of its small memory/disk footprint, QED can be embedded in end-user applications for which a database would otherwise not be practical.

In my opinion, QED is a good solution with small websites that run on their own and have no need to communicate or exchange data to other websites.
