I have been very effectively using SQLite for quite some time now, and have watched with great reservation as it has "swelled" over that time. My use of the product is to provide very simple SQL enabled backend storage for any application not to be implemented in an "enterprise" environment. My applications do all the business rule, data prettying, validation, and any other "feature" not provided by SQLite. This allows me to tailor my application (Mostly using "Cut and Paste" like efforts.) to fit on most any platform environment from PDA to File Server. That is the reason I use SQLite, and for that reason only. If I need a greater feature set than SQLite provides, I have a multitude of database engines at my disposal with greater feature sets and price range beginning with MySQL and ending with Oracle. I do not beat a dead horse trying to get the entire SQLite world and Dr. Hipp in particular to "see it MY way." Give it up and look for a more feature rich DB and leave us poor dumb Bas--rds using SQLite alone!
