Does SQLite store data?

The complete state of an SQLite database is usually contained in a single file on disk called the "main database file". During a transaction, SQLite stores additional information in a second file called the "rollback journal", or if SQLite is in WAL mode, a write-ahead log file.

What are the disadvantages of SQLite?

This translates to a lack of granular access control, a friendly user management system, and security capabilities beyond encrypting the database file itself.
