SQLite is an in-process library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. The code for SQLite is in the public domain and is thus free for use for any purpose, commercial or private.

SQLite is likely the most widely deployed database engine in the world. According to the SQLite website, it is deployed in:

• Every Android device
• Every iPhone and iOS device
• Every Mac
• Every Windows10 machine
• Every Firefox, Chrome, and Safari web browser
• Every instance of Skype
• Every instance of iTunes
• Every Dropbox client
• Every TurboTax and QuickBooks
• PHP and Python
• Most television sets and set-top cable boxes
• Most automotive multimedia systems
• Countless millions of other applications

SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.
