Hello, as i wrote in the title i need a database for my nodered application, my problem is that i'm using nodered on a particular offline machine in which i can't install others program except nodered so i can't use an external database to connect my nodered to... for my purpose i wanted to use node-red-node-sqlite which i think would be perfect for my situation but unfotunatly the installation doesn't work, is there any plugin alternative which have both the creation of the database and access to it?
Before looking for alternatives, why not share the details of why installation doesnt work? Perhaps it is something simple we can help you with.
Share any errors you get and share the details of your installation (e.g. hardware, OS, installed in docker or OS?, node version, node-red version)
Thanks you for your answer, this is the log of the installation :

Is that a Windows machine?
What features of a database do you need?
When NPM is trying to install something, it is using tar in the background. What is happening is that it is failing to be able to change ownership of files/folders to the user running the install.
You would need to look at how/where you have installed Node-RED. For example, a common problem is to install Node-RED as root user but run it as some other user.
and this 
Luckily, I recognise some of the stuff from your log - it is a Bosch CtrlX device (not sure if it is core hardware or software though)
You will need to contact bosch support forums or their tech support I'm afraid.
Perhaps updating your thread title to indicate this might attract the right users (not sure how many Bosch CtrlX users there are on this forum)
It is a bosch ctrlx core, i just need really basic features, basically just insert,delete and select from where ex...
yeah, it is a core hardware device, i guess i'll try to contact them and write on the other forum, thanks anyway for the answer
Maybe persistent context could give you a very simple emulation of a single db table.
Obviously it would need to be more complicated than this to be useful ...
let mydata = context.get('mydata') || {}
if (msg.topic == "insert") {
mydata[msg.key] = msg.payload
}
if (msg.topic == "delete") {
delete mydata[msg.key]
}
if (msg.topic == "select") {
msg.payload = mydata[msg.key]
}
context.set('mydata', mydata)
return msg;
