Good afternoon everyone.
We are writing a desktop application in C ++ Builder, a question arose about choosing a database. It is necessary that the application could be seamlessly transferred from one workplace to another and not worry about installing MSSQL Server or something like that. What is used in this case? So far, only SQLite comes to mind. Recommend something.

It seems that mssql also has "no installation" editions. Although I could be wrong, I have not dealt with them.

I support concerning SQLite. If you write in C++, then you can generally statically link the library, and you won’t even have extra dlls to carry around with you.

I once used mysql embedded, but it seems to have a commercial license for the embedded version. And it’s very convenient - I didn’t have to redo the requests. Well, in the light of current trends, sqlite is, in fact, a little worse
