Charlotte JUG - Feb Meeting - SQLite

This month we are lucky to have D. Richard Hipp, creator of the SQLite embedded database engine. This is a great extension to November's G1 Mobile meeting because SQLite is the database used by the Android SDK!

The JUG meeting offers a great place to network with other developers, recruiters and businesses as well as to learn new technologies. The location is the same as usual in Room 5134, and as always we have refreshments available - thanks to our sponsor ettaingroup!

Abstract:
The SQLite database is used in Mac OS-X, embedded in Mozilla's Firefox and is built into the G1 Android phone. As described on the SQLite website, SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file. The database file format is cross-platform - you can freely copy a database between 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Many people like SQLite because it is small and fast, but its primary design goal is to be simple:

• Simple to administer
• Simple to operate
• Simple to embed in a larger program
• Simple to maintain and customize
