Host local database using ubuntu for external applications

I am trying to build an Android application and I need to install a database to store all my data like users, passwords etc. This is the first time when I do something like this and I dont have a clue about what i should do. I have seen that there is a way to use lamp but seems quite complicate and i am not familiar to php. Is there any other solution?

LAMP would be overkill. That is intended for hosting a website.



If you only need a database you can install MySQL. But that might be overkill too. There is also SQLite (it is a "light" database and I would opt for that).



MySQL:



sudo apt-get install mysql-server


SQLite:



sudo apt-get sqlite



SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is the most widely deployed SQL database engine in the world. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain.






MySQL Workbench can used for MySQL administration:



enter image description here



sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench


SQLiteman can be used for sqlite3 administration:



enter image description here



sudo apt-get sqliteman
