Introduction
What is SQLite?
SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine.
In English, it is a script that stores data into tables, the way any SQL language works (e.g. MySQL).
Why use SQLite?
There are advantages and disadvantages to using SQLite for storing data. Like any data storage method, there are times where it is practical to use it, and times when it isn't so practical.
