There are plenty of databases where you can specify location

The JDBC API is much different from BDB (at least that is
my impression - I have not worked with BDB myself).

But the tradition in the Java world is to use JDBC and
not any special API's.


The program I am writing is a small desktop app which
will be distributed to users who most likely won't have
access to a sql server. My need is just a few
key value pairs stored on disk to store the state of
the program/data. A sql server seems an overkill for this purpose.

Are you saying I can somehow use jdbc api to use some files
on disk?


I believe that for what what you in other languages may
use BDB/ISAM files for you would use a database (very likely
embedded so that there are no server process) and JDBC in
Java.

You can use flat files. Properties files, XML files etc..

XML serializing/deserializing could be an option for you.
