About Database, what are the differences?
SQLite and MySQL are both relational database management systems (RDBMS) that use Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage data. However, there are some differences between the two:
- Architecture: MySQL is a client-server RDBMS, which means it requires a separate server process to be running on the machine to handle database requests. SQLite, on the other hand, is a serverless RDBMS, which means it does not require a separate server process to be running and can be embedded directly into an application.
- Scalability: MySQL is highly scalable and can handle a large volume of data very efficiently. SQLite, on the other hand, can handle only a small set of data. If the volume of data increases, its performance degrades.
- User environment: MySQL supports multiple user environments, while SQLite does not.
- License: MySQL is licensed under the GNU General Public License, which means it is open source and free to use. SQLite is in the public domain and can be used without any licensing restrictions.
