If we deploy regular PHP CMS programs, including whether most of our common WORDPRESS programs use the MYSQL database. But will we see that SQLite databases are also supported? How much do we know about SQLite databases? In fact, we should know that for niche website programs, the SQLite database has better speed and stability. I used it before when Lao Zuo wrote blogs, especially log blogs.
In this article, let's take a look at the comparison database SQLite and MySQL Why do we choose MYSQL more often.
First, what is SQLite?
SQLite is a serverless database that generates static files directly in the directory. We also call it embedded database here, which means that the database engine runs as part of the application. SQLite supports the following data types: Blob, Integer, Null, Text, Real. The SQLite database is about 250 KB in size. It is an open source and lightweight database. In the SQLite database, we can directly store information in a single file to make it easy to copy. No configuration is required.
Second, what is MySQL?
MySQL is an open source project owned by Oracle. Many database types are supported. It is suitable for medium and large database types and project purposes.
Third, the difference between SQLite and MySQL
SQLite databases are suitable for smaller databases. With the growth of databases, the memory requirements will increase when using SQLite. With SQLite, performance optimization is more difficult. On the contrary, MySQL is easy to expand and can easily handle larger databases.
In conclusion, if we are a small website, we can use SQLite. If we are likely to be a large website in the future, we can use MYSQL directly.
