Outside of sqlite, what runtimes natively include database drivers?

Bun, .NET, PHP, Java

  • For .NET only the old legacy .NET Framework, SqlClient was moved to a separate package with the rewrite (from System.Data.SqlClient to Microsoft.Data.SqlClient). They realized that it was a rather bad idea to have that baked in to your main runtime, as it complicates your updates.

    • It's still provided by Microsoft. They are responsible for those first party drivers.

  • For Bun you're thinking of simple key / values, hardly a database. They also have a SQLite driver which is still just a package.
