But it is rather different than JDBC.

I don’t agree with the “not common” comment on JME, by the way. I’m pretty sure there are more JME phones being used than all of iOS/Android/WinMobile/WP 7 etc. combined. They’re not smartphones, though; maybe that got lost during transcription. And the BlackBerry *does* run on JME, but has additional BB-specific APIs.

Android has SQLite built in, and an API to use it. No “integration” needs to be done, and certainly nothing manual.
