[JS][NODE] Best lightweight DB? - lux - 05-24-2015

I've been building a URL shortener in Node w/ Express and Semantic-UI.

There will be 4 columns in the DB: ID, orginal URL, code, date created. I was looking at MongoDB or CouchDB, but looking for other suggestions.

Method for getting the short code is via multiplying the row ID by 100000000, then basically base_convert'ing it via
Code:
parseInt(DBID, 16).toString(36)

to get a fairly decent individual code.

Any advice?

There appears to be a decent SQLite3 module, I'll try it out.
