What are SQL Databases for Linux?

SQL databases are structured systems that use the Structured Query Language (SQL) to store, retrieve, and manage data. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, ensuring that information is easily accessible, consistent, and scalable. SQL databases are widely used in applications that require complex queries, transactions, and data integrity, making them essential for web applications, financial systems, and enterprise environments. These databases offer robust features for security, data normalization, and maintaining relationships between different datasets. Overall, SQL databases are fundamental to managing relational data efficiently and reliably across various industries.

    H2

    H2

    H2

    Welcome to H2, the Java SQL database. In embedded mode, an application opens a database from within the same JVM using JDBC. This is the fastest and easiest connection mode. The disadvantage is that a database may only be open in one virtual machine (and class loader) at any time. As in all modes, both persistent and in-memory databases are supported. There is no limit on the number of database open concurrently, or on the number of open connections. The mixed mode is a combination of the embedded and the server mode. The first application that connects to a database does that in embedded mode, but also starts a server so that other applications (running in different processes or virtual machines) can concurrently access the same data. The local connections are as fast as if the database is used in just the embedded mode, while the remote connections are a bit slower.
