Is SQLite a file based database?

A database in SQLite is a single disk file¹. Furthermore, the file format is cross-platform. A database that is created on one machine can be copied and used on a different machine with a different architecture.

Is SQLite a file system?

SQLite stores the entire database (definitions, tables, indices, and the data itself) as a single cross-platform file on a host machine. It implements this simple design by locking the entire database file during writing. SQLite read operations can be multitasked, though writes can only be performed sequentially.

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/<packageName>/databases. However, there are no restrictions on creating databases elsewhere.

Are SQLite files binary?
