Dear Richard and SQLiters, I would like to ask, why is it so important to indicate that SQLite, in reference to threads or client/server, " does not work that way". I think this might help to find the words to describe it. Is it because some embedded systems do not support threads? Is it because some systems are inherently single-task and thus a separate server process can not run? It seems to me that server-free or daemon-free do not transmit this. Also adding "-free" or "less" indicates something that the object is not. More precisely would be to indicate what the object is. What is the word for that programming methodology that existed since the beginning when there were no threads and everything was single-task?

Clients then use Inter-Thread Communication rather than Inter-Process Communication to send their queries to, and get their results from, the database thread. So this is really the same thing as a server using IPC except that the server runs in the same address space as the client. The point of using the term "serverless" is to indicate that SQLite does not work that way. -- D.
