SQLite is a relational database management system (RDBMS).
What makes SQLite unique is that it is considered an embedded solution.
Most database management system such as Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server
are standalone server processes that run independently.
SQLite is actually a library that is linked into
applications. All database operations are handled within the application
through calls and functions contained in the SQLite library. This is
great news while you’re learning to use SQLite because it makes it much
easier to manipulate even large databases when compared to more
conventional database solutions.
In case you’re interested, SQLite is actually written in C
and contained within a Java-based “wrapper” provided by the Android SDK.
SQLite does rely on Structured Query Language (SQL); the
same language used by most other RDBMSs. If you’re already familiar with
SQL from another database system, you have a serious head start using
SQLite because you will find that most query commands are structured
exactly the same way.
