807600Oct 3 2007 — edited Oct 17 2007

I am writing this Java application in Bioinformatics. In my Java application I will have a huge database with DNA sequences and proteins e t c. The database is not complex but it is huge.

I want preferably use embedded database because I don?t want the user make a separate installation of a database server. I searched in the forum and found out about HypersonicDB, DerbyDB, mckoi, Pers for Java and PostgreSQL. I guess all these databases can be embedded in Java and does not need separate installation.

My question is what are disadvantages with having embedded database in Java?
thx.
