SQLite

SQLite is an open source, embedded SQL database engine that keeps a complete database in a single file and needs no separate database server. This ready-to-deploy Azure image puts SQLite and its command-line shell on an Ubuntu VM so developers, data analysts and DevOps teams can start creating and querying databases without installing and preparing the software themselves.

Who it's for

Application developers, data analysts, DevOps teams and people learning SQL who want a simple local database for application data, testing and data analysis.

Problems it solves

• Running and managing a separate database server just to store local application data
• Keeping data in ad hoc files that are hard to query and keep consistent
• Spending setup time installing and preparing a database environment

Key benefits

• Serverless operation: no separate database server process to install, configure or manage
• Zero configuration: no setup or administration needed
• A complete database in a single cross-platform file that is easy to copy and share
• ACID transactions to keep your data consistent
• Query your data with SQL from the sqlite3 command-line shell
• Open source and in the public domain

What's included
