Can SQLite store documents?

Can we store files in SQLite?

Yes, go ahead. It is easier to store every file in the database, than just using the database to keep track of where each file is. If the files are small, performance should be fine.

Is SQLite a document database?

Yep, SQLite is awesome. I did actually build exactly that: a document database powered by SQLITE [1], and it works well, especially considering that SQLite has built-in support for full text search and indexes for JSON content.

What are the limitations of SQLite?

An SQLite database is limited in size to 281 terabytes (248 bytes, 256 tibibytes). And even if it could handle larger databases, SQLite stores the entire database in a single disk file and many filesystems limit the maximum size of files to something less than this.

Why you should not use SQLite?

High write volumes: SQLite allows only one write operation to take place at any given time, which significantly limits its throughput. If your application requires lots of write operations or multiple concurrent writers, SQLite may not be adequate for your needs.
