H2 Database Engine 1.2.124 is Out
One of the tools that has made the last year of my professional coding very nice is the H2 Database Engine. It's 100% Java, it's fast, it's flat-file or in-memory, and it's just as rock-solid as PostgreSQL. I love both of these databases, and while I can use others, if I get the choice, I'll use one of these.
H2 is amazing as an in-memory database, but it does file-system database as well. It's got all the things you'd want in a database: multi-version concurrency control, triggers, foreign keys - the works. It's super simple to use as well. Could not be easier.
Love it when we see things improving in it.
