Are there any databases that require no setup (can be shipped in a small zip together with the project)?

Likely sqlite and duckdb?

Yes, do those exist for Elixir? :eyes:

I’m working on an Elixir binding for sqlite3 but the last several months almost left me no free energy to do it.

I’ll announce it on ElixirForum when I have a first version.

You can look into CubDB in the meantime.

CubDB sounds cool, but I don’t have any use for a key-value db at all :grimacing:

Well, I am not aware of any Elixir embedded SQL DBs. I really want to work on my Elixir sqlite3 library but life gets in the way all the time – OK, in my case it’s health and the lack of extra energy.

I will get around to it though. Not having sqlite3 is a huge omission for the Elixir ecosystem.

You can still use the current library – sqlitex. But have in mind that it does not have Ecto 3 support (only Ecto 2).
