} puts {SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL frontend to GDBM. SQLite is intended for use in standalone programs that need to use an SQL database but which do not have access to a full-blown SQL RDBMS.
The C interface to SQLite is very simple, consisting of only four functions and a single opaque data structure. See c_interface.html for details. A Tcl interface to SQLite is also available and is included in the source tree. Documentation on the Tcl interface is pending. Interfaces for perl and python may be supplied in future releases.
There is a standalone C program named "sqlite" that can be used to interactively create, update and/or query an SQLite database. The sources to the sqlite program are part of the source tree and can be used as an example of how to interact with the SQLite C library. For more information on the sqlite program, see sqlite.html.
SQLite does not try to implement every feature of SQL. But it does strive to implement to most commonly used features. SQLite currently understands the following SQL commands:
Some the many SQL features that SQLite does not (currently) implement are as follows:
The current version of SQLite should be considered "alpha" software. It is incomplete and is known to contain bugs. The software is subject to incompatible changes with each release. You should not use SQLite in its present form in production software.
The purpose of releasing SQLite before it is ready is to evoke public comment and criticism of the software. If you find bugs or have any thoughts on how to make SQLite better, or would like to contribute code or patches to SQLite, please join the mailing (see below) and let us know.
SQLite has so far been tested only on RedHat 6.0 Linux. But we know of no reason why it will not work on any other Unix platform, or on Windows95/98/NT.

Someday, we would like to port SQLite to work with the Berkeley DB library in addition to GDBM. For information about the Berkeley DB library, see http://www.sleepycat.com
