SQLite
SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration SQL database engine that reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files.
About SQLite
SQLite is not a client-server database engine like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Instead, it is embedded directly into the application that uses it. The entire database resides in a single cross-platform disk file, making it incredibly portable. It supports most of the SQL standard, including transactions, triggers, views, and subqueries. The library is small (under 600KB fully configured) and requires no setup or administration. It is used by billions of devices worldwide, from smartphones and web browsers to embedded systems and desktop applications. SQLite is developed by D. Richard Hipp and maintained by the SQLite Consortium. It is public domain software, meaning it is free for any purpose, commercial or private. The project provides comprehensive documentation, including a detailed reference manual, syntax diagrams, and a set of command-line tools. SQLite is a reliable choice for local storage, prototyping, and applications that do not require high concurrency.
