To quote a bit from "The Definitive Guide to SQLite" by Michael Owens:
SQLite was conceived on a battleship... well, sort of.
SQLite's author, D. Richard Hipp, was working for General
Dynamics on a program for the U.S. Navy developing software
for use on board guided missile destroyers. The program
originally ran on Hewlett-Packard Unix (HPUX) and used an
Informix database as the back-end.
