Would there be any reason SQLite would have a hard time functioning in a database as a service model?

Have you even used SQLite?
To which Ryan Macy replied:
This seems inconsequential -- regardless of what method you use you will have to authenticate. Everything has latency. I'm not sure where you're going with this. You came off as a prick, but maybe I didn't offer enough information... Or my question is not intelligent enough for youŠ I appreciate your opinion though, thank you.
Roger's point, which is quite consequential, and politely made, is that SQLite solves only a part of the problem that you posed. As for "everything has latency", that is not quite the issue to which Roger alluded. As you may discover, latency becomes a real issue in network scenarios, one that can create serious difficulties when inadequately handled. And as you may already understand, latency is not always an issue that requires attention. You should learn to keep your emotional reactions to yourself when you find yourself writing words like "prick". You provided enough information to show that you have little comprehension of the issues that will arise were you to use SQLite as you suggest. Roger provided a calm, reasonable, but brief hint of what they will be. That he took the time to do this is to his credit, and was an act undeserving of your reaction. Your question was, in fact, an indication that you are either completely naive regarding latency and security issues, or that you had very little familiarity with SQLite. Hence his question, "Have you even used SQLite?" To me, Roger's response reflected an effort to help you rather than any kind of belittlement. You would do well to understand that, even if you sometimes feel foolish when those who know more expose your naivety.
