About SQLite

SQLite is a C-language library that provides a complete SQL database engine inside the application that uses it. It needs no separate server and no configuration, and it supports transactions.

The code is in the public domain, so anyone can use it for any purpose, commercial or private. Its maintainers describe it as the most widely used database engine, built into mobile phones, most computers and many everyday applications.

What SQLite offers

  • Serverless engine — runs in-process, with no setup.
  • SQL support — pragmas, date and time functions, aggregate and window functions, math functions and JSON functions.
  • Programming interfaces — a C and C++ interface plus a Tcl interface.
  • Portable files — a stable, cross-platform and backwards-compatible file format that is often used to move data between systems.

Who it works with

Developers of mobile, desktop and embedded software, supported in part by sponsors and consortium members.

Key facts

  • Licence: public domain
  • File format commitment: developers pledge stability through 2050
