Synopsis

SQLite is a small, fast, embeddable database. What makes it popular is the combination of the database engine and interface into a single library as well as the ability to store all the data in a single file. Its functionality lies between MySQL and PostgreSQL, however it is faster than both databases.

In SQLite, author Chris Newman provides a thorough, practical guide to using, administering and programming this up-and-coming database. If you want to learn about SQLite or about its use in conjunction with PHP this is the book for you.

Book Overview:

SQLite (0-672-32685-X)

A thorough, practical guide to using, administering, and programming the popular database that is bundled with PHP 5.

  • SQLite is the next big thing in the PHP Web development world - the popular, easy to use database is supported by, and bundled with, the much-anticipated PHP 5.
  • With over 15 million PHP Web sites, the release of PHP 5 will create a tremendous influx of new SQLite users.
  • The book provides a thorough, hands-on guide to using, administering, and programming SQLite.
SQLite is a small, fast, embeddable database that is being bundled with PHP 5. This means that SQLite will be used -- or at least tried out -- by the millions of developers that use PHP. There is some online documentation of SQLite, but it isn't organized in a useful fashion, it has large gaps, and it leans heavily on coding comments. It's small, fast and very low footprint,. . .I'm exceedingly pleased with SQLite. Since converting. . . to use it, performance and space efficiency have vastly improved over previous versions, and the ease-of-use (and ease-of-setup) perspective makes it tremendously more appropriate for embedded use in a tool of this sort than depending on a full-fledged out-of-process database server. In short: Try it. You'll like it. -- Review on Freshmeat.
