Is SQLite database self-contained?

Question

SQLite is a Self Contained System. SQLite is "stand-alone" or "self-contained" in the sense that it has very few dependencies. It runs on any operating system, even stripped-down bare-bones embedded operating systems.

What kind of database is SQLite?

SQLite is an embedded, file-based RDBMS that does not require any installation or setup. This, in turn, means that the application does not run under a separate server process that needs to be started, stopped, or configured. This serverless architecture enables the database to be cross-platform compatible.

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?

An sqlite database is just a file, stored locally in your device.

Is SQLite embedded database?

SQLite is an embedded, open-source, lightweight SQL database engine. The C based library is transactional, self-contained, and highly compact. It's also fairly easy to implement. It doesn't require any sort of installation or configuration, and all data is stored locally.
