Question

I am used to working with PHp and MySQL, I an now trying to build a code snippet manager program with C#.

I was planning to store: Title, Description, Language, License, Tags, Source Code
into a database.

Since this will be a desktop program, I was thinking I could use an SQLite database to hold all this for each code snippet.

I have never used SQLite before, eveyone in PHP usually prefers MySQL over SQLite. So I am not sure if this is the route to go or not.

The source code will take up a lot of space, especially when there are hundreds of them.

So my question is there a limit on what SQLite can hold or handle? If not is there something else that would handle this better for this type of application?

Answer 1

With the default page size of 1024 bytes, an SQLite database is limited in size to 2 terabytes (241 bytes).
