SQLite is an embedded SQL database that does not require a separate server process. It is self-contained, transactional, and zero-configuration. The library is small in size and can run in minimal memory and stack space. SQLite implements ACID-compliant transactions and supports SQL features like joins and views while being faster than client-server databases for many common operations. It is suggested for use in applications like gadgets, websites, and browsers due to its small size and ease of use.

- 2. Agenda Overview Features Suggested Uses Tools
- 4. SQLite is… • in-process library • self-contained • serverless • zero-configuration • transactional • the code is in the public domain
- 5. in-process library • SQLite does not have a separate server process • the library size can be less than 350KiB! • SQLite be made to run in minimal stack space (4KiB)transactional • SQLite generally runs faster the more memory you give it!
- 6. Self-contained • It requires very minimal support from external libraries • It requires very minimal support from the operating system • The only required C library functions called are: • memset() • memcpy() • memcmp() • strcmp() • malloc(), free(), and realloc()
- 7. Serverless • Most SQL database engines are implemented as a separate server process. Programs that want to access the database communicate with the server using some kind of interprocess communication (typically TCP/IP) to send requests to the server and to receive back results. SQLite does not work this way. With SQLite, the process that wants to access the database reads and writes directly from the database files on disk. There is no intermediary server process. • The main advantage is that there is no separate server process to install, setup, configure, initialize, manage, and troubleshoot. • Any program that is able to access the disk is able to use an SQLite database.
- 8. Zero configuration • SQLite does not need to be "installed" before it is used. • There is no "setup" procedure. • There is no server process that needs to be started, stopped, or configured. • SQLite uses no configuration files. SQLite just works.
- 9. Transactional • SQLiteimplements serializable transactions that are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID). • All changes within a single transaction in SQLite either occur completely or not at all, even if the act of writing the change out to the disk is interrupted by • a program crash, • an operating system crash, or • a power failure.
- 11. Features • Implements most of SQL92. • RIGHT and FULL OUTER JOIN • Only the RENAME TABLE and ADD COLUMN variants of the ALTER TABLE • VIEWs in SQLite are read-only. • Supports terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte- sized strings and blobs. • Faster than popular client/server database engines for most common operations. • Cross-platform: Unix (Linux, Mac OS-X, Android, iOS) and Windows (Win32, WinCE, WinRT)
- 13. Suggested Uses • Database For Gadgets • cellphones, PDAs, MP3 players • Website Database • Internal or temporary databases
- 14. Applications that use it • Browsers • Mozilla Firefox (bookmarks, cookies, contacts) • Google Chrome • Opera • Applicazioni • Skype • Adobe AIR • Flame (anche gli hakers lo usano!) • SpiceWorks (software per sistemisti e help desk)
