How is SQL Anywhere used in a desktop environment?
SQL Anywhere delivers enterprise caliber features, but without the bulky characteristics of an enterprise database. Its robust reliability and performance, along with highly efficient usage of memory and system resources, ensures that the database can often be hidden from laptop and desktop users. Organizations like Siebel Systems, the United States Postal Service and the FBI have chosen to embed SQL Anywhere’s Adaptive Server Anywhere database in their applications because it is built for use in widely deployed, zero administration environments, and requires as little as 8 megabytes of memory and 10 megabytes of disk space.
