 | | Embedded databases are particularly prevalent in accounting software, retail applications such as West Marine's, and applications for the health-care industry. |
 | | Despite their obvious benefit and almost ubiquitous nature, sales of database software for embedded applications have slumped badly during the recession--people aren't buying as many refrigerators, vending machines, industrial controllers, networking devices, airplanes, and medical-imaging systems, and so they're not buying as many embedded databases. |
