About SQLite

SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine. Features include:

  • Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) even after system crashes and power failures.
  • Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
  • Implements most of SQL92. (Features not supported)
  • A complete database is stored in a single disk file.
  • Database files can be freely shared between machines with different byte orders.
  • Supports databases up to 2 tebibytes (241 bytes) in size.
  • Strings and BLOBs up to 2 gibibytes (231 bytes) in size.
  • Small code footprint: less than 250KiB fully configured or less than 150KiB with optional features omitted.
  • Faster than popular client/server database engines for most common operations.
  • Simple, easy to use API.
  • TCL bindings included. Bindings for many other languages available separately.
  • Well-commented source code with over 95% test coverage.
  • Self-contained: no external dependencies.
  • Sources are in the public domain. Use for any purpose.

The SQLite distribution comes with a standalone command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite library.

Upgrading is recommended. } newsitem {2007-Jan-27} {Version 3.3.12} { The first published build of the previous version used the wrong set of source files. Consequently, many people downloaded a build that was labeled as "3.3.11" but was really 3.3.10. Version 3.3.12 is released to clear up the ambiguity. A couple more bugs have also been fixed and PRAGMA integrity_check has been enhanced. } newsitem {2007-Jan-22} {Version 3.3.11} { Version 3.3.11 fixes for a few more problems in version 3.3.9 that version 3.3.10 failed to catch.
