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. -j -- Jay A.
