**A single-file, lightweight [[SQL]] database platform** SQLite is data and the database software all wrapped into one file. The database software portion is less than 500kB, so it doesn't add a _ton_ of overhead to your files, while retaining features over [[CSV]] such as [[Referential Integrity]] and indexing. SQLite is [[Public Domain]], but the code is marked as "Open-Source, not Open-Contribution". Basically they don't accept patches or updates from people unless those people sign affidavits saying they dedicate their contribution to the [[public domain]]. SQLite is used _everywhere_, according to Simon Willison, the guy behind Datasette. **** # More ## Source - https://SQLite.org -  ## Related - [[SQL]]
