SQLite is a relational database management system,
implemented in a small C library which can be linked directly into programs, and released into the
public domain.
Although SQLite itself is developed in C, it can be used from a wide variety of programming
languages including
C, C++, Delphi, Java,
Perl,
PHP,
Python, R, Smalltalk and Tcl.
The Definitive Guide to SQLite is the perfect book about SQLite. It covers everything needed to start working with SQLite including installation, using the SQLite shell, and programming with SQLite using six different language extensions.

Traditional relational databases and embedded databases both have shortcomings that can leave a developer perplexed. So for many people, the solution resides in SQLite, an open source embeddable database with an amazingly small footprint (less than 250 kilobytes). SQLite packs a powerful array of features and can handle databases as large as 2 terabytes. It offers a flexible set of datatypes and the ability to perform transactions, and it is supported by languages like C, PHP, Perl, and Python. And because SQLite's databases are completely file based, privileges are granted at the operating system level, allowing for easy and fast user management.
The Definitive Guide to SQLite is the first book to devote complete coverage to the latest version of this powerful database. It offers you a thorough overview of SQLite capabilities and APIs, while remaining cognizant of newcomers who may be making their first foray into a database environment with SQLite. This book serves as both a first-time tutorial and future reference guide.
Youll learn about SQLite extensions available for C, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl.
The book thoroughly covers SQLite internals to help you take full advantage of its features while minimally impacting resource consumption.
Author Mike Owens is the original creator of Pysqlite, the popular Python extension for SQLite.
SQLite is a small, fast, embeddable database. What makes it popular is the combination of the database engine and interface into a single library as well as the ability to store all the data in a single file. Its functionality lies between MySQL and PostgreSQL, however it is faster than both databases.
In SQLite, author Chris Newman provides a thorough, practical guide to using, administering and programming this up-and-coming database. If you want to learn about SQLite or about its use in conjunction with PHP this is the book for you.
