Due to rapidly growing size of database, storage considers one of the obstacles for database performance. The structure of current hard disk media contains traditional technology with some changes, which cannot maintain the database workloads. On the other hand, flash memory promises faster performance for database applications, flash memory has ended up to be the significant consistent data storage tool for mobile and embedded devices. Flash memory-based development platform supplies the adaptability to provide a wide range of hardware and software implementations in the cost-performance trade off scale. In this paper we have reviewed flash memory technology, the flash memory database trend. We present the role of flash memory in: importance of small database in small businesses, and database security. We presented advantages and weaknesses, utilizing this technology required an efficient flash memory-based database system; also, this issue counts one of the challenges.
