Is SQLite a "scalable, real, full-blown database"? That's the scale that Access is going for. (Though it also totally works as a pure frontend to a "real" database connection.)

SQLite can be used to help build a "scalable, real, full-blown database" application. JET, the SQLite-like engine used by Access, could theoretically be used in the same way.

But the topic here is about GUIs which serve the middle-ground between the "scalable, real, full-blown database" applications and the lowly spreadsheet. The SQLite project offers nothing that is comparable to Access.
