The Sql database runs on multiple major operating systems under .NET, mono and Xamarin, it has been tested on windows, linux, mac and android without code changes, the same code works on desktop applications and no code changes are required for mobile operating systems when using portable class library.

Sql database library works under IIS and .Net with medium trust. This website is also using it in the background to serve .aspx pages. Library uses System.Globalization and System.Text.Encoding to store information using UTF 8 based characters, covering all major human language character sets. There are also examples in download section of this site on how to add right to left and left to right languages without any special changes as long as language has UTF-8 based characters and .NET supports that culture, sqldatabase.net.dll handles all conversion to store and retrieve that information from database file.
