Philosophy of
SqLite [draft]
- Small Footprint - SqLite keeps the source code and compiled results small.
- Reject Featuritice - Don't try to include every feature of every other database. SqLite allows multiple statements per query, so one can often use multiple steps if needed rather than make the Mother-of-All SELECT statements.
- Dynamic Typing with Optional "Strong" Typing - Dynamic typing reflects the dynamic languages that often use SqLite. However, the stronger-typing and sizing options are available if needed.
- Portable Files - SqLite databases can be moved around easily as a single file.
