The advantage of SQLite is that it is easier to install and use and the resulting database is a single file that can be written to a USB memory stick or emailed to a colleague. Many applications use SQLite as a cache of relevant content from an enterprise RDBMS.


SQLite is self-contained means it requires minimal support from the operating system or external library. This makes SQLite usable in any environment especially in embedded devices like iPhones, Android phones, game consoles, handheld media players, etc.

Why is SQLite preferred over any other database management system?

SQLite Database and its feature: Technically, it's a lighter version of RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), which is open-sourced. It consumes little amount of storage space (around 250-kilo bytes in size). That's the reason every android system has SQLite database support.

What are the most important features of SQLite database?

Self-contained: no external dependencies. Cross-platform: Android, *BSD, iOS, Linux, Mac, Solaris, VxWorks, and Windows (Win32, WinCE, WinRT) are supported out of the box. Easy to port to other systems. Sources are in the public domain.
