Why? SQLite has subselects, transactions, views and triggers. It's also faster in most of the dbmail tests (largely: bulk inserts and long search statements) that I ran than Pg 7, Pg 8, and SQLite. It uses an optimal algorithm for COUNT(*), and can avoid touching the database when the indexes can supply all the data for a SELECT. It also has a query-plan generator/debugger- albeit not quite as nice as Pg. Historically, I've found it faster than Pg7 and MySQL 3 and 4 in most of my own applications, and I've even used it in a distributed database application.
