Does SQLite have a cache?

Question

All SQLite database connections running within a single process share a single page cache. The page cache caches data read from database files in main-memory on a per-page basis.

Is SQLite stored in memory?

SQLite in-memory databases are databases stored entirely in memory, not on disk. Use the special data source filename :memory: to create an in-memory database. When the connection is closed, the database is deleted.

How is SQLite data stored?

The Android SDK provides dedicated APIs that allow developers to use SQLite databases in their applications. The SQLite files are generally stored on the internal storage under /data/data//databases. However, there are no restrictions on creating databases elsewhere.

Is SQLite stored locally?

It's local to the phone. If you need it accessed else where you need to use a web server and upload it to there.

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.
