Is SQLite embedded?

What type 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.

Is SQLite open-source?

SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation.

Is SQLite self-contained?

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. SQLite uses no external libraries or interfaces (other than a few standard C-library calls described below).

Is SQLite a local database?

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.
