Roman,
SQLite must be cited as software rather than an academic presentation. I'm
afraid that the correct citation form for software will depend on the style
guide of your publication. I see you're working in medicine in the USA. The
closest citation forms I know of for US medicine are as follows. The long form
conforms to the one used by the APA which, for SQLite, would be something like
Hipp, R, et. al. (2015). SQLite (Version 3.8.10.2) [Computer software].
SQLite Development Team. Retrieved June 15, 2015.
Available from <https://www.sqlite.org/download.html>
You should substitute your own version and dates. The other is the short form
the AMA uses which, for SQLite, would be
Hipp R et. al.. SQLite. North Carolina: SQLite Development Team; 2015.
If you find the form of this which suits your publication better, please post
it to this thread and I'll add it to the list.
Richard, the 'author' requirements require the name of at least one specific
person. I don't know who else is on the development team so I've taken the
liberty of using "Richard Hipp et. al." and "SQLite Development Team" which I
guessed were closest to what you'd all want. If you don't like them please
don't hesitate to correct them.
Simon.
