Documentation Source Text

Support requests, comments, and suggestions for future
changes to SQLite coming from consortium members take priority 
over requests from all other sources.
Consortium members go to the front of the line.

<li><p>
We will be happy to recognize consortium members on the SQLite website


with a logo and/or a brief acknowledgement of their contribution to the
project.  This is an opportunity for companies to build good will by
demonstrating that they are giving back to the community.  Or, members 
can remain anonymous.

<title>Well-Known Users Of SQLite</title>

<h2>Well-Known Users of SQLite:</h2>

<p>
A few of the better-known users of SQLite are shown below
in alphabetical order.
There is no complete list of projects and companies
that use SQLite.
SQLite is in the 
<a href="copyright.html">public domain</a> and so many people use it
in their projects without ever telling us.

[http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ | Solaris 10]
uses SQLite as the storage format for its Service Management Facility.
Thus, Sun has essentially replaced the traditional unix /etc/inittab
file with an SQLite database.

A representative of 
[http://www.toshiba.com/ | Toshiba] wrote to the SQLite developers 
and requested the US Export Control Number for SQLite. We infer from this 
that Toshiba is exporting something from the US that uses SQLite, but we 
do not know what that something is.

some additional C library support, but those functions can
be also be omitted from the build using compile-time options.

<p>
Communications between SQLite and the operating system and disk are
mediated through an interchangeable [VFS] layer.
VFS modules for Unix (Linux and Mac OS X), OS/2, and Windows (Win32 and WinCE)
are provided in the source tree.  It is a simple matter to devise an
alternative VFS for embedded devices.
</p>

<p>
For safe operation in multi-threaded environments, SQLite requires
the use of mutexes.  Appropriate mutex libraries are linked automatically
