What are the applications for your personal use that needs a small database like SQLite? I am thinking of trying a few popular databases and SQLite is surely the first one I am planning to try since I know barely nothing about database except some simple programming years ago.
I learned that SQLite is good for personal use. But embarrassingly I do not see any application except maybe managing my list of phone numbers/contact info, which has probably a few hundred items. What’s your experience?
FYI, I use EndNote for my reference and softcopy of books, and I feel iTunes’ music/media management is ok since I am not a frequent user anyway. And others? I do lots of coding, but I just use some simple etags tools for that. And I pretty much use .txt file (sometimes in the asciidoc style) for my notes. I have quite a bunch of notes, but not that many either.
So, really, what are your personal applications that need a small database instead of existing tools and plain text files?
For any small database (think… sub 100MB) SQLite can be a valid choice. Because you can use it without much overhead it’s easy to use in development.
As for tools I use (and modify whenever I miss a feature) that use SQLite:
Basically… anything that stores a list of something would be a valid candidate.
