I am currently working on a project in which I am storing the name of program/application window titles and my knowledge of databases and datastores is fairly limited.
The idea is that I want to query the database with a string to see if it is present in the database. I am currently using MongoDB to do this but I have seen that MongoDB is mostly used to be run on a server which isn’t what I’m looking for.
My question is – if I am just storing strings / searching for strings would a custom Array or HashMap be sufficient or would search times make it inefficient meaning that SQLite would be more ideal for this situation.
SQLite is perfect for this application. Firefox, for example, uses SQLite for storing its internal configuration settings (the
about:configpage). SQLite databases are single files, and it can be transparent to the user and requires very little in the way of system resources–unlike most server/client database solutions.
