What is the difference between SQLite and SQL Server?

Is SQLite the same as SQL Server?

Microsoft SQL Server is a powerful, full featured SQL system that supports entire ecosystems. While SQLite is a light-weight database meant to be embedded into end programs. SQLite is often useful even to SQL Server professionals when they need to create smaller databases without a full server setup to support.

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.

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.

What type of SQL does SQLite use?

SQLite uses PostgreSQL as a reference platform. "What would PostgreSQL do" is used to make sense of the SQL standard.
