puts {<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>SQLite is an SQL database engine built on top of the

<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/gdbm.html">GDBM library</a>.



SQLite includes a standalone command-line
access program (<a href="sqlite.html">sqlite</a>)
and a C library (<a href="c_interface.html">libsqlite.a</a>)
that can be linked
with a C/C++ program to provide SQL database access without
a separate RDBMS.</p>

<h2>Important News Flash!</h2>
<p>
The SQLite file format was changed in an incompatible way on
Aug 2, 2000.  If you are updated the library and have databases
built using the old version of the library, you should save your
old databases into an ASCII file then reimport those
database using the new library.  For example, if you change the
name of the old <b>sqlite</b> utility to "old-sqlite" and
change the name of the old database directory to "old-db", then
you can reconstruct the database as follows:</p>

<blockquote><pre>
echo .dump | old-sqlite old-db | sqlite db
</pre></blockquote>

<p>This file format change was made to work around a potential 
inefficiency in GDBM that comes up when large indices are created 
on tables where many entries in the table have the same index key.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>

<p><ul>
<li>Implements most of SQL92.</li>
<li>A database is just a directory of GDBM files.</li>
<li>Unlimited length records.</li>

puts {<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>SQLite is an SQL database library
(<a href="c_interface.html">libsqlite.a</a>) that uses
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/gdbm.html">GDBM</a>
as its underlying file storage mechanism.
Programs that link the SQLite library can have SQL database
access without running a separate RDBMS process.
The distribution comes with a standalone command-line
access program (<a href="sqlite.html">sqlite</a>) that can




be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as










an example of how to use the SQLite library.</p>
