However, if you think a little,
SQLite is the perfect companion to the Neko Virtual Machine. Both are small in file size, require no
unusual dependencies, run on most platforms, and are easy to develop against. What ??™ s more, as the
Neko Virtual Machine is perfect for desktop applications, too, that should surely raise the usability of
these two tools, somewhat.
At the end of it all, the conclusion boils down to the original question: Will your application exceed the
constraints of the SQLite database? If no, then use it, as it will never let you down (don ??™ t quote us on
that). However, if your needs are a little excessive when compared to the usual development brief, then
it might be time to pull out the bigger guns and opt for either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Either is sufficient
in its current state, and indeed, there is little between them now besides the sheer preference of the
developer. Alternatively, help us test our ODBC driver by using it with your favorite database. The
choice is yours.

Part II: Server Side, JavaScript, and Flash: Oh My!
As SQLite provides everything you need to get up and running with a database and is fully included in
the haXe distro, most of the examples in this chapter will be SQLite oriented.
