are there any restrictions for Android SQLite databases? I mean this – is it possible to have databases on SD card? Any restriction of max number of tables per database? Restriction of max size of a DB, or any other?
Thanks

Citing by http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db:
Android provides full support for SQLite databases
Additional note:
“Android does not impose any limitations beyond the standard SQLite concepts. We do recommend including an autoincrement value key field that can be used as a unique ID to quickly find a record. This is not required for private data, but if you implement a content provider, you must include a unique ID using the BaseColumns._ID constant.”
So just be wary of standard SQLite limitations.
