Either HSQLDB
http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net

or McKoi database
http://mckoi.com/database/

Hi,

What is the best embedded database (low cost or free) that I can use for a
Java Accounting Desktop Application?

Don't forget IBM's recently open-sourced Cloudscape...

Is prevayler suitable to be used in a desktop environment?

There is an interesting comparison of three of these here
<http://jamie.ideasasylum.com/notebook/index.php?id=4>. Be sure to
read the supplementary notes that explain the fact that HSQLDB's
dramatic speed advantage is because it was tested with the data base
in RAM.

If you are interested in using Derby I suggest you download Cloudscape
<http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/cloudscape/> as well or instead.
It comes with documentation to IBM's standards and an ODBC driver if
you want to use Access as a front end.

Hi,

After reading some comments on the net, I conclude that my app isn't
suitable, to use prevayler. Thanks for the intro, Stephan

Take a look at our product (see my sig). You can use our free version (Pro Lite). Or, we
can give you reasonable pricing on the embedded version, which is chock full of features
including in-memory operation and true support for Java objects.

Berkley DB is free. Haven't used it (yet).
