Yes it is but it is also very good

Check the wikipedia info ....

Very interesting...
"It is arguably the most widely deployed database engine,
as it is used today by several widespread browsers,
operating systems, and embedded systems, among others"
The firefox browser keeps different sqlite database files
for various uses ....
I should remember to use this in the future for my small apps...
If you use firefox check its default directory
and you will see several files with .sqlite
file type extensions ....
Under debian debian linux ....
~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
You're right:
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/addons.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/chromeappsstore.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/content-prefs.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/cookies.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/downloads.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/extensions.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/formhistory.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/permissions.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/places.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/search.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/signons.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/urlclassifier3.sqlite
/home/myUser/.mozilla/firefox/pv079lxv.default/webappsstore.sqlite
Very interesting, I didn't knew that :-)
Many programmers, including pythonistas,
use sqlite for a convenient and persistent
data store where data can be stashed now
and used later in many different ways
through the diversity of sql selections ....
I'll try to do this in the future also... I just have to practice a bit
more with the SQL commands, but now I can create, update, delete, query
and I guess that's the most important things to know :-)
Thanks for your help and for providing interesting background info :-)
