Embedded Relational Database
SQLite is a relatively small software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. It's commonly used for embedded applications such as incorporating database functionality within a desktop or iPhone application. While lacking some features compared to full database servers, SQLite is growing in popularity due it's robustness and speed for specific data storage purposes.
Unlike traditional client-server databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, the SQLite engine is not a standalone process — it's actually linked in with the application code. Each SQLite database is stored in a single cross-platform data file which includes the data, definitions, and indices.
