Hi,

I am developing an android application which will connect with any database server.

I have confusion that which is best suitable for android app.

Which is the best database for Android Application. SQL Server of MySQL?
Posted

Well, both of them has their own relevance.
It depends on the nature of the application, for which one you should go for.

You may find certain differences between these two databases on Google[^].

See http://www.people.vcu.edu/~agnew/Misc/MySQL-MS-SQL.HTML[^]
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/product-info/competitor-compare.aspx#MySQL[^]
http://www.rapidprogramming.com/questions-answers/What-is-the-difference-between-MySQL-and-MS-SQL--575[^]

Only one thing I'd like say that, if you're using Linux platform for development, no MS SQL support is there for Linux, then you must go for MySql.
Otherwise you may judge which one you should via given links.

Hope this would be helpful to you.

-KR

It depends.

You could use SQLite[^] which is crossplatform & light weight. Check this wiki page for more Mobile database[^]
