A comment on "SQLite is not designed to replace Oracle. It is designed to replace fopen().".

I first used SQLite because I thought (in C++) "Man, instead of writing crazy datastructures, I wish I could just use SQL on a spot in memory" SQLite came up in my Google search, and ta da!

Of course, this was back in 2003 or so, and that project never turned into anything more than a fancy wrapper over SQLite and Lua.

Still, SQLite == awesome, when it is appropriate.

SQlite is a gem; when we develop web sites for clients, we first try to use sqlite, and if not we use MySQL and PostGres; we only use mssql, oracle when the customer has already a legacy database. What about you?
