Translations:SQLite/8/en

As its name suggests, SQLite is easy to use and intended for relatively simple databases which are neither excessively large (hundreds of gigabytes or more) nor too complicated in terms of their entity-relationship diagram. As your SQLite database grows in size and complexity, the performance could start to degrade, in which case the time may have come to consider the use of more sophisticated database software which uses a client-server model. The SQLite web site includes an excellent page on Appropriate Uses For SQLite, including a checklist for choosing between SQLite and client-server databases.
