Re: [android-developers] database question

I think people overemphasize this: SQLite will work for most
applications, unless you're running a production quality service where
you're already hiring a database administrator. For anything which
will be running purely on the phone, SQLite is a perfectly good
option, I've *never* seen a need for someone to go out to one of the
other database engines when they're writing just an app. (Maybe this
would make sense if you considered a webservice that interfaced to an
app.)
