Introducing SQLite

SQLite is a kind of open-source RDBMS that is distinguished from most other database management systems built on a client-server model since it is a server-less embedded database. This means that the SQLite database runs within the software that accesses the data, eliminating the need for a separate server. Due to such architecture, SQLite is a highly reliable, efficient system that works perfectly in low-memory environments.

One of the major benefits of SQLite is its cross-platform compatibility, allowing it to run on various modern OS. As an RDBMS contained within a C library, SQLite can be utilized by applications written in any programming language that can connect to external libraries written in C. For example, it is ideal for developing embedded software in digital devices, such as mobile phones, game consoles, cameras, and set-top boxes. Additionally, SQLite can serve as a temporary dataset for applications to process data.
