Archives and Data Stores
SQLite makes it very easy to package complex data sets into a single, easy-to-access, fully cross-platform file. Having all the data in a single file makes it much easier to distribute or download large, multi-table data stores, such as large dictionaries or geo-location references.
Unlike many RDBMS products, the SQLite library is able to access read-only database files. This allows data stores to be read directly from an optical disc or other read-only filesystem. This is especially useful for systems with limited hard drive space, such as video game consoles.
