Can you read and write to SQLite at same time?

Can you read and write to SQLite at same time?

First, by default, multiple processes can have the same SQLite database open at the same time, and several read accesses can be satisfied in parallel. In case of writing, a single write to the database locks the database for a short time, nothing, even reading, can access the database file at all.

Does SQLite have indexing?

A table may have multiple indexes. Whenever you create an index, SQLite creates a B-tree structure to hold the index data. The index contains data from the columns that you specify in the index and the corresponding rowid value. This helps SQLite quickly locate the row based on the values of the indexed columns.

Does SQLite support concurrency?

SQLite does support multiple concurrent connections, and therefore it can be used with a multi-threaded or multi-process application. The catch is that when SQLite opens a write transaction, it will lock all the tables.

Is SQLite still relevant?

SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites). The amount of web traffic that SQLite can handle depends on how heavily the website uses its database. Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite.

What is the main limitation of SQLite?

An SQLite database is limited in size to 281 terabytes (248 bytes, 256 tibibytes). And even if it could handle larger databases, SQLite stores the entire database in a single disk file and many filesystems limit the maximum size of files to something less than this.

Why is SQLite so good?

They emphasize scalability, concurrency, centralization, and control. SQLite strives to provide local data storage for individual applications and devices. SQLite emphasizes economy, efficiency, reliability, independence, and simplicity. SQLite does not compete with client/server databases.

What is the fastest database in the world?

Logical Clocks Introduces RonDB, the World’s Fastest Database in the Cloud.
