SQLite Advantages

SQLite is a very popular database which has been successfully used with on disk file format for desktop applications like version control systems, financial analysis tools, media cataloging and editing suites, CAD packages, record keeping programs etc.

There are a lot of advantages to use SQLite as an application file format:

1) Lightweight

  • SQLite is a very light weighted database so, it is easy to use it as an embedded software with devices like televisions, Mobile phones, cameras, home electronic devices, etc.

2) Better Performance

  • Reading and writing operations are very fast for SQLite database. It is almost 35% faster than File system.
  • It only loads the data which is needed, rather than reading the entire file and hold it in memory.
  • If you edit small parts, it only overwrite the parts of the file which was changed.

3) No Installation Needed

  • SQLite is very easy to learn. You don?t need to install and configure it. Just download SQLite libraries in your computer and it is ready for creating the database.

4) Reliable

  • It updates your content continuously so, little or no work is lost in a case of power failure or crash.
  • SQLite is less bugs prone rather than custom written file I/O codes.
  • SQLite queries are smaller than equivalent procedural codes so, chances of bugs are minimal.

5) Portable

  • SQLite is portable across all 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems and big- and little-endian architectures.
  • Multiple processes can be attached with same application file and can read and write without interfering each other.
  • It can be used with all programming languages without any compatibility issue.

6) Accessible

  • SQLite database is accessible through a wide variety of third-party tools.
  • SQLite database's content is more likely to be recoverable if it has been lost. Data lives longer than code.

7) Reduce Cost and Complexity

  • It reduces application cost because content can be accessed and updated using concise SQL queries instead of lengthy and error-prone procedural queries.
  • SQLite can be easily extended in in future releases just by adding new tables and/or columns. It also preserve the backwards compatibility.

SQLite Disadvantages

  • SQLite is used to handle low to medium traffic HTTP requests.
  • Database size is restricted to 2GB in most cases.
