SQLite is a C library that implements an embeddable SQL database engine. Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite library.
SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big database server. SQLite is the server. The SQLite library reads and writes directly to and from the database files on disk.

A change history is available online. The latest source code is available for download. There are currently no known memory leaks or bugs in the library. SQLite 2.1.7 is currently being used in several mission-critical applications. SQLite 2.2.0 is in beta-test.
Whenever either of the first two digits in the version number for SQLite change, it means that the underlying file format has changed. See formatchng.html for additional information.
The following documentation is currently available:
The SQLite source code is 35% comment. These comments are another important source of information.

To build sqlite under Unix, just unwrap the tarball, create a separate build directory, run configure from the build directory and then type "make". For example:
} puts {$ tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz Unpacks into directory named "sqlite" $ mkdir bld Create a separate build directory $ cd bld $ ../sqlite/configure $ make Builds "sqlite" and "libsqlite.a" $ make test Optional: run regression tests
An ODBC driver for SQLite can be found at http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/.
Here is a good tutorial on SQL.
PostgreSQL is a full-blown SQL RDBMS that is also open source.
Gadfly is another SQL library, similar to SQLite, except that Gadfly is written in Python.
