Should I use SQLite or SQL Server?

Which is better SQLite or SQL Server?

SQLite is generally a lot faster than SQL Server. However, SQLite only supports a single writer at a time (meaning the execution of an individual transaction). SQLite locks the entire database when it needs a lock (either read or write) and only one writer can hold a write lock at a time.

What is difference between SQL Server and SQLite?

SQLite does NOT require a server to run (RDBMS such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc., requires a separate server process to operate). ... This makes SQLite usable in any environment especially in embedded devices like iPhones, Android phones, game consoles, handheld media players. Does not use any configuration files.

Should I learn SQL or SQLite?

I'd recommend learning standard SQL before SQLite's version of SQL. SQLite allows a lot of things (such as automatic type conversions and incomplete GROUP BY clauses) that a lot of databases don't allow. Also, everything in SQLite is stored as a string but that's not the case for other versions of SQL.

When should you not use SQLite?

A good rule of thumb is to avoid using SQLite in situations where the same database will be accessed directly (without an intervening application server) and simultaneously from many computers over a network. SQLite will normally work fine as the database backend to a website.
