Is there a driver for sqlite that does not use sqlite?


Asked by Royal Ashley on Dec 12, 2021 SQLite



That driver embeds the SQLite library; it does not use any version other than the one with which it was linked at build time. Making that driver use a SQLite DLL instead of statically linking the SQLite code would be nice.
In this manner,
Client/Server Applications. If there are many client programs sending SQL to the same database over a network, then use a client/server database engine instead of SQLite. SQLite will work over a network filesystem, but because of the latency associated with most network filesystems, performance will not be great.
Likewise, Its characteristics are highly portable, easy to use, compact, efficient and reliable. In most of cases, you only need a binary file of SQLite to create, connect and operate a database. If you are looking for an embedded database solution, SQLite is worth considering.
Subsequently,
No locks are held on the database. The database may be neither read nor written. Any internally cached data is considered suspect and subject to verification against the database file before being used. Other processes can read or write the database as their own locking states permit.
Also,
SQLite’s transactional DDL is impacted by unresolved issues in the pysqlite driver, which fails to emit BEGIN and additionally forces a COMMIT to cancel any transaction when DDL is encountered. See the section Serializable isolation / Savepoints / Transactional DDL for techniques to work around this behavior.
