The only program which actually opens the database files is the server. Sometimes it runs on the same computer as the client and they communicate via a socket. Other times it runs on another computer and they communicate across a network. SQLite has no server. You could call it a server-less multi-user DBMS. Each program opens the database file itself. If you are going to write about the differences between these two you should definitely see this page: <https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html> Ignore the .dll files, by the way. DLL files are included for those programmers using compilers or development environments which can't compile C as well as their own code. The 'proper' way to have your C program, or anything else compatible, use SQLite is to include one '.h' and one '.c' file into your project. One would normally use the 'Amalgamation' download from <https://www.sqlite.org/download.html> Simon.
