I've been following this thread and alot of people have been generous enough to the troll. I think its nice to see a community such as this that is generous with time and clues. However, I've seen some responses from the person that asked this initially and I say Troll is putting it nicely. Thumbs up to the SQLite community as a whole and also open source in general.

I know there have been various admin apps for SQLite, but I've been out of touch and I didn't see any linked out of the sqlite.org web page. Hi, Well my personal favourite and the one I use mostly is called sqlitebrowser. I have included the link for it below it comes in win32 and linux flavours, mac os x even. I find it simply the best tool for my work I do with SQLite. I can't remeber if its list on the SQLite page or not, either way its worth checking out. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

Indeed also keep in mind both Postgres and MySQL are cross platform as well.

I don't > believe the same can be said of MySQL. Haha, I have to agree. I've run into performance issues with MySQL in some of projects, but never with Postgres. Keep in mind I'm a die hard Postgres user and totally loath MySQL, because its had very annoying issues.

I don't think there is a WinCE version of SQL Server, (yet) so that might be your only real chance. My experience with organizations that embrace all things Gates' is, pretty much any technical advantageous products which lie outside the Mickeysoft umbrella are ignored and usually completely banned as, "not conforming to organization policy." Fred Hi, I so agree with Fred he's nailed it dead on.

Hi, I hope I may be of assistance in this area. I own my own company and we use exclusively open source stuff for ourselves and clients. We went thought those questions too. What you must have them understand is that just because its open source and free, doesn't mean its of low quality. You see open source projects, ones like SQLite have many people working on them and looking the source over. As a result of this you get a high quality yet, free project. The more people that look at the source and stuff, the more of a bug free/exploit free product you end up with. The bugs that do exist also tend to be discovered quickly and fixed rather quickly. Of course there is always encryption if you're that worried. Also if SQLite worked for you guys before then why change? As some else mentioned, MS SQL is a full rdbms and SQLite is embedded. On a more opinion side of things I condemn anything made by MS, by default anyhow. Oh, as far as vulnerability to hackers goes, that depends on how well the project is run, if they fix bugs quickly and such then you need not be to worried. Also depends on how its built, do they build it in a manner that doesn't present vulnerabilities. I would recommend encryption though if you're really worried.
