Basically SQLLite is a library which applications can include, that is a tiny sql 'server' (even though you talk to it directly since it's built right in to your program) in which instead of saying connect to 10.0.1.205 port 6000 or whatever, you say open file 'whatever.blah' and that file is used as a binary storage thingo. It can do file locking and stuff too to make it safe for multiple processes to use it simultaneously.

The file is a binary doodad, designed for speed and not readability. Though sqlite is a pretty common open source library, so your data shouldn't be getting trapped should shoes stop working :)
