This chapter sets the stage for the next three chapters, which are exclusively devoted to programming with SQLite. It addresses the things that you as a programmer should know about SQLite when using it in your code. Whether you are programming with SQLite in its native C, or in your favorite scripting language, it helps to understand not only its API, but also a little about its architecture and implementation. Armed with this knowledge, you will be better equipped to write code that runs faster and avoids potential pitfalls such as deadlocks or unexpected errors. You will see how SQLite works in relation to your code, and you can be more confident that you are attacking the problem from the right direction.
