Should I use Postgres or SQLite?

Is PostgreSQL faster than SQLite?

SQLite 2.7. 6 is significantly faster (sometimes as much as 10 or 20 times faster) than the default PostgreSQL 7.1. 3 installation on RedHat 7.2 for most common operations.

Why is SQLite bad?

Disadvantages of SQLite Because SQLite reads and writes directly to an ordinary disk file, the only applicable access permissions are the typical access permissions of the underlying operating system. This makes SQLite a poor choice for applications that require multiple users with special access permissions.

Is SQLite the best database?

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.

Which is better SQL or PostgreSQL?

But when it comes to different features PostgreSQL is always at the upper hand. It is an advanced version of SQL and hence provides many additional features. All these features are for free, unlike SQL server. Also, it is cross-platform and can be used with any operating system.
