<h2>Suggested Uses For SQLite:</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul>
|
|
<li><p><b>Database For The Internet Of Things.</b>
|
|
SQLite is popular choice for the database engine in cellphones,
|
|
PDAs, MP3 players, set-top boxes, and other electronic gadgets.
|
|
SQLite has a small code footprint, makes efficient use of memory,
|
|
disk space, and disk bandwidth, is highly reliable, and requires
|
|
no maintenance from a Database Administrator.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><b>Application File Format.</b>
|
|
Rather than using fopen() to write XML, JSON, CSV,
|
|
or some proprietary format into
|
|
disk files used by your application, use an SQLite database.
|
|
You'll avoid having to write and troubleshoot a parser, your data
|
|
will be more easily accessible and cross-platform, and your updates
|
|
will be transactional. (<a href="appfileformat.html">more...</a>)</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><b>Website Database.</b>
|
|
Because it requires no configuration and stores information in ordinary
|
|
disk files, SQLite is a popular choice as the database to back small
|
|
to medium-sized websites.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><b>Stand-in For An Enterprise RDBMS.</b>
|
|
SQLite is often used as a surrogate for an enterprise RDBMS for
|
|
demonstration purposes or for testing. SQLite is fast and requires
|
|
no setup, which takes a lot of the hassle out of testing and which
|
|
makes demos perky and easy to launch.</p></li>
