I wonder if it is possible to run MongoDB on iPad as it is or do I have to port it to iPhone OS?

A:
MongoDB runs in a separate process. Can iPad deal with two or more processes?

No, MongoDB cannot run multiple processes.

Doesn't matter that MongoDB uses only one process. You need one process on the iPad for the app and one process on the iPad for MongoDB if you run MongoDb non-embedded. So I don't understand Roman Kagan's reaction. I have to say that I didn't know that you can run MongoDB embedded. But I still don't understand Roman's reaction.

I honestly have no experience with iPhone/iPad development and imagine that there'll be some work involved to get it working; but MongoDB is capable of being run as an embedded database - maybe that would be the way to go. Check out the code for the MongoDB tools (tools/import.cpp, etc.) - those optionally run using the embedded client.
