Is SQLite memory efficient?

Does SQLite use a lot of memory?

SQLite will refuse to allocate more than about 2GB of memory at one go. (In common use, SQLite seldom ever allocates more than about 8KB of memory at a time so a 2GB allocation limit is not a burden.) So the 64-bit size parameter provides lots of headroom for detecting overflows.

How efficient is SQLite?

SQLite 2.7. 6 is often faster (sometimes more than twice as fast) than MySQL 3.23. 41 for most common operations. SQLite does not execute CREATE INDEX or DROP TABLE as fast as the other databases.

Is SQLite heavy?

Very large datasets 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.

Is SQLite good enough for production?

SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites). The amount of web traffic that SQLite can handle depends on how heavily the website uses its database. Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite.
