Is it possible to have a embedded database in a small web application? What I need is there should not be any need to install any database in the server machine. By just adding a jar in the folder the database should work.
I am using Java EE, and Netbeans as my IDE. If its possible, what are the open source databases that can be embedded.
Any pointers to some good tutorials will be more helpfull.
HSQLDB, a popular embedded database, is just one jar file that you can drop in your application.
