Like the MySQL program, SQLite is a database management program that is easy to use and very popular with businesses and individuals. SQLite was written in the C programming language and was first released in the year 2000. SQLite has released its source code into the public domain, which means that anyone who wishes can access and edit the source code, improving and tweaking the program or creating add-ons and plug-ins as they see fit.
SQLite is a standard and very easy to use regional database management program that is more streamlined and perhaps easier to use than others. It only has partial support for Triggers and has limited ALTER TABLE support, but it can handle complex queries. SQLite also comes preloaded with support for a huge number of programming languages, from the widely used C, C++, C-Sharp, Java, PHP and Perl, to the lesser used Haskell, Livecode, Pike, Curl, Common Lisp, Free Pascal, D, Clipper and more. There are very few programming languages that the SQLite database management program does not support.
