Application developers, take note: databases aren't just for the IS group any more. You can build database-backed applications for the desktop, Web, embedded systems, or operating systems without linking to heavy-duty client-server databases such as Oracle and MySQL. This book shows you how to use SQLite, a small and lightweight relational database engine that you can build directly into your application.With SQLite, you'll discover how to develop a database-backed application that remains manageable in size and complexity. This book guides you every step of the way. You'll get a crash course in data modeling, become familiar with SQLite's dialect of the SQL database language, and much more.Learn how to maintain localized storage in a single file that requires no configurationBuild your own SQLite library or use a precompiled distribution in your applicationGet a primer on SQL, and learn how to use several language functions and extensionsWork with SQLite...
本书主要面向有经验的软件开发人员，他们以前没有学习关系数据库的特殊需求。无论出于何种原因，您现在发现自己面临着一项大型数据管理任务，并希望像 SQLite 这样的产品能够提供答案。为了帮助您，各个章节涵盖了 SQL 语言、SQLite C 编程 API 和关系数据库设计的基础知识，为您提供了成功将 SQLite 集成到您的应用程序和开发工作中的一切。
SQLite 诞生于 2000 年，旨在提供一种无需独立服务器进程即可运行的数据库解决方案。它最初是为了简化软件部署，特别是在嵌入式设备和小型应用程序中。与传统的客户端-服务器数据库管理系统不同，SQLite 将整个数据库（定义、表、数据）存储在单个跨平台文件中。这种设计选择极大地简化了配置和管理，使其成为各种应用场景的理想选择。SQLite 的发展历程与互联网的普及和嵌入式技术的兴起紧密相连，满足了对轻量级、易于集成的数据存储方案日益增长的需求。
