All, I'm not sure how to ask this question.
When using SQLite the application program accesses the SQLite DBMS via its .dll file. When using something like Oracle Express (a local DBMS) the application program is communicating with Oracle Express via some sort of network protocol even though there's no network involved. What is that called? My reason for asking is, I'm writing a short white paper describing my use of SQLite (to encourage other engineers where I work to use it too) and I'm trying to explain the differences between SQLite and other local database systems. So, SQLite databases are accessed via .dll where as other local databases run a server that is accessed via ??? Can anyone help me fill in those question marks?
