Introduction

What is libdbd-sqlite3-perl
libdbd-sqlite3-perl is:
DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver with a self-contained relational database management system. It embeds a small and fast embedded SQL database engine called SQLite (see sqlite3) into a DBI driver. It is useful if you want a relational database for your project, but don’t want to install a large RDBMS system like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
SQLite supports the following features:
- Implements a large subset of SQL92 (URL:http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html)
- A complete DB in a single disk file Everything for your database is stored in a single disk file, making it easier to move things around than with DBD::CSV.
- Atomic commit and rollback
The engine is very fast, but for updates/inserts/dml it does perform a global lock on the entire database. This, obviously, might not be good for multiple user systems. The database also appears to be significantly faster if your transactions are coarse.
