"Most used database in the world."

4/5

What do you like best about SQLite?

It is a relational database designed to manage and provide a way for software applications on their own.

It is serverless i.e. No Server processes needed to be configured

It requires no configuration which makes it easy to use.

Since it loads only the needed data the performance is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQLite?

It does not allow remote work, i.e. it can be worked on the machine itself. It is not suitable for large scale applications. So Desktop or phone are best devices on which it can be used. It is less optimal. Also it has a kimited database size i.e. size of data is limited on the disc on which it is stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
