What they're doing is not comparing SQLite and some other database engine, but comparing SQLite with a flat text file. It can be temping to write less code and use SQLite as if it's the perfect solution to every storage problem, but sometimes if you have something simple to store and search, nothing beats a plaintext file. You just have to write your search code yourself. That page is a good summary of many 'gotchas' for using those using SQLite for the first time. As long as they don't take it too seriously. Simon.
