An embedded database system is a database management system (DBMS) which is tightly integrated with an application software; it is embedded in the application. It is a broad technology category that includes:[1]
- database systems with differing application programming interfaces (SQL as well as proprietary, native APIs)
- database architectures (client-server and in-process)
- storage modes (on-disk, in-memory, and combined)
- database models (relational, object-oriented, entity–attribute–value model, network/CODASYL)
- target markets
