SQLite is the most used database in the world, but mostly unknown. (In this it has a resemblance with Linux.)

SQLite is used in:

• Firefox
• Android
• Skype
• Adobe Reader
• …

Some advantages of SQLite:

• Works with ‘all’ operating systems.
• Most languages have drivers.
• Self contained
• Server-less
• Portable
• No configuration
• Ideally to transfer things from one system to another.
• Perfectly fitted to replace a bunch of configuration files
• Perfect to use with logging.
  Makes it a lot easier and faster to find things.

In this presentation I will show how easy it is to use SQLite. I will at least show the usage from Python and Java, but if you would like samples in another language: let me know.

Some of the things I have done with it:

• Logging system metrics.
• Storing measurements.
• Send a new Dutch proverb to someone who wants to learn Dutch.
• Storing messages.
• …

If you would like a particular problem tackled: let me know: I could try to fit it in the presentation.
