About:
SQLite is a C-language library that implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured SQL database engine. It is the most used database engine in the world, embedded in countless applications. This formula provides the command-line interface tool 'sqlite3' for managing and interacting with SQLite database files directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Serverless and zero-configuration
  • Cross-platform and self-contained
  • ACID-compliant transactions
  • Supports standard SQL syntax
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping of database-driven applications
  • Local data storage for command-line scripts
  • Embedded database for desktop and mobile apps
Alternatives:
  • postgresql – PostgreSQL is a robust client-server database requiring separate daemon processes.
  • mariadb – MariaDB is a drop-in MySQL replacement, also requiring a server process.
