What are Embedded Database Systems for C#?

Embedded database systems are lightweight, self-contained databases that are integrated directly into applications, allowing data management without requiring a separate database server. They are optimized for performance and simplicity, often running within the same process as the host application, making them ideal for use in mobile apps, IoT devices, and small-scale applications. These databases support SQL or other query languages and offer full database functionality, including transaction management and data integrity. Embedded database systems are designed to operate with minimal configuration, providing fast, reliable data storage and retrieval within constrained environments. Their ease of integration and low resource usage make them essential for applications that need efficient local data management without the overhead of external databases. Compare and read user reviews of the best Embedded Database systems for C# currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Perst

    McObject

    Perst is McObject’s open source, dual license, object-oriented embedded database system (ODBMS). It is available in one edition developed as an all-Java embedded database, and another implemented in C# (for Microsoft .NET Framework applications). Perst gives developers the ability to store, sort, and retrieve objects in their applications with maximum speed and with low memory and storage overhead while leveraging the object-oriented paradigm of Java and C#. In the TestIndex and PolePosition benchmarks, Perst displays one of its strongest features: its significant performance advantage over Java and .NET embedded database alternatives. Perst stores data directly in Java and .NET objects, eliminating the translation required for storage in relational and object-relational databases. This boosts run-time performance. Perst’s core consists of only five thousand lines of code. The small footprint imposes minimal demands on system resources.

    Ditto

    Ditto is the only mobile database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, enabling apps to synchronize without relying on a central server or constant cloud connectivity. Through the use of CRDTs and P2P mesh replication, Ditto allows you to build collaborative, resilient applications where data is always available and up-to-date for every user. This allows you to keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most. Ditto uses an edge-native architecture, meaning your app remains fully functional even offline. Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using whatever channels are available – for example, Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, or local LAN – to find nearby devices and sync data with them.
