SQLite - destined for PHP glory

Site offer SQLite is the next big thing in the PHP web development world - the popular, easy-to-use database is supported by, and bundled with PHP 5.

SQLite is a small, fast, embeddable database and differs from most SQL database engines in that its primary design goal is to be simple. What makes it popular is the combination of the database engine and interface into a single library as well as the ability to store all the data in a single file. Its functionality lies between MySQL and PostgreSQL, however it is faster than both databases. Find out more about SQLite at http://www.sqlite.org/.
