Is SQLite good for big data?

sqlite should work just fine for you. I have run a data set of that size even in an embedded device and sqlite performance was quite reasonable. As stated, the main bottleneck is concurrency. Aim to design your system so that there is at most one database handle open per database file.

Is SQLite good enough for production?

Long answer: It is said you can’t use SQLite in production because it doesn’t support concurrency (no more than one user can be writing to the database at the same time) and it can’t scale. Many applications are used only by a few users. For example, they are used on an intranet of a small company.

Is SQLite scalable?

Sqlite is scalable in terms of single-user, I have multi-gigabyte database that performs very well and I haven’t had much problems with it. But it is single-user, so it depends on what kind of scaling you’re talking about. In response to comments.

How many connections can SQLite handle?

There is actually no pre-defined limit for number of concurrent connections in sqlite for the same process. This is upto your system’s performance. The quotation given by user647772 is about limit of concurrent processes or applications using the same sqlite DB, not valid for concurrent threads in the same process.

What are the disadvantages of SQLite?

One of the main drawbacks of the SQLite system is its lack of multi-user capabilities which can be found in full-fledged RDBMS systems like MySQL and PostgreSQL. This translates to a lack of granular access control, a friendly user management system, and security capabilities beyond encrypting the database file itself.

Why you should not use SQLite?

SQLite locks the complete database on access, making it a very good tool for development or applications with no concurrent users, but not a good one for applications that actually have multiple users at the same time. This makes it not a good tool for production web sites.

How does SQLite help in managing data?

SQLite Database is an open-source database provided in Android which is used to store data inside the user’s device in the form of a Text file. We can perform so many operations on this data such as adding new data, updating, reading, and deleting this data.

Can SQLite handle concurrency?

SQLite does support multiple concurrent connections, and therefore it can be used with a multi-threaded or multi-process application. The catch is that when SQLite opens a write transaction, it will lock all the tables.

How many data can store in SQLite?

140 terabytes
The maximum database size can be approximately 1.4e+14 bytes (140 terabytes, or 140,000 gigabytes). Every database consists of one or more “pages”. Within a single database, every page is the same size, but different database can have page sizes that are powers of two between 512 and 65536, inclusive.
