SQLite: Lean, Mean DB Machine

by aschlag | 4 comments | Wednesday, September 6, 2006
When most of us think of PHP, we think of developing for the web. In most cases we will be using a LAMP-based server setup, with our favorite web scripting language contributing the P. In most cases, the M is filled in with MySQL, although PHP does include support for several other database systems. Is a full-blown database server even necessary for most PHP applications? What about a data-driven website like a blog or a simple family photo album or message board? In these and may other cases, the small, simple, and extremely powerful SQLite may be all you need. Let’s take SQLite out for a test drive and see how it performs, find some of the quirks you might run in to, and how to get the most use out of it.

Okay...so who am I? I'm a PHP Developer whose primary focus in web development is promoting good, reusable code that takes advantage of PHP 5. My primary interests within PHP are PHP/Database interaction, security, OO programming methods, and design patterns. I find PHP continually meeting my needs as "the best tool for the job". I also believe in sharing the knowledge you have for the greater good, and hopefully I can do a bit of that here.

I do web development for a large financial corporation as my day job, and spend most of my free time with PHP (and some JavaScript, too). What time I do have left after that I dedicate to my wife and two children, who graciously give me the time to pursue my passion :)

If you would like to know more, need help with anything PHP related, or would just in general like to chat, drop me a line at adamschlag -at- gmail -dot- com.
