- puts {<h2>Introduction</h2>
- <p>SQLite is a C library that implements an embeddable SQL database engine.
- Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database
- access without running a separate RDBMS process.
- The distribution comes with a standalone command-line
- access program (<a href="sqlite.html">sqlite</a>) that can
- be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as
- an example of how to use the SQLite library.</p>
- <p>SQLite is <b>not</b> a client library used to connect to a
- big database server. SQLite <b>is</b> the server. The SQLite
- library reads and writes directly to and from the database files
- on disk.</p>}

- <p><ul>
- <li>Implements a large subset of SQL92.</li>
- <li>A complete database (with multiple tables and indices) is
- stored in a single disk file.</li>
- <li>Atomic commit and rollback protect data integrity.</li>
- <li>Small memory footprint: less than 20K lines of C code.</li>
- <li><a href="speed.html">Four times faster</a> than PostgreSQL.
- Twice as fast as SQLite 1.0.</li>
- <li>Very simple
- <a href="c_interface.html">C/C++ interface</a> requires the use of only
- three functions and one opaque structure.</li>
- <li><a href="tclsqlite.html">TCL bindings</a> included.</li>
- <li>A TCL-based test suite provides near 100% code coverage.</li>
- <li>Self-contained: no external dependencies.</li>
- <li>Built and tested under Linux and Win2K.</li>
- <li>Sources are uncopyrighted. Use for any purpose.</li>

- puts {<h2>Current Status</h2>
- <p>A <a href="changes.html">Change Summary</a> is available on this
- website. You can also access a detailed
- <a href="http://cvs.hwaci.com:2080/sqlite/timeline">change history</a>,
- <a href="http://cvs.hwaci.com:2080/sqlite/rptview?rn=2">view open bugs</a>,
- or
- <a href="http://cvs.hwaci.com:2080/sqlite/tktnew">report new bugs</a>
- at the
- <a href="http://cvs.hwaci.com:2080/sqlite/">CVS server</a>.</p>
- <p>Complete source code and precompiled binaries for the latest release are
- <a href="download.html">available for download</a> on this site. You
- can also obtain the latest changes by anonymous CVS access:
- <blockquote><pre>
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.hwaci.com:/home/cvs/sqlite login
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.hwaci.com:/home/cvs/sqlite checkout sqlite
- </pre></blockquote>
- When prompted for a password, enter "anonymous".
- </p>
- <p>Note that the CVS server is located on a cable modem with a dynamic
- IP address. The IP address changes every 3 or 4 months. After an
- IP address change
- occurs it usually takes a day or two for the new DNS information to propagate.
- So if you have trouble accessing the CVS server, it could be because the
- IP address has recently changed. Try again in a few days.
- </p>
- <p>
- Whenever either of the first two digits in the version number
- for SQLite change, it means that the underlying file format
- has changed. See <a href="formatchng.html">formatchng.html</a>
- for additional information.

- puts {
- <p>To build sqlite under Unix, just unwrap the tarball, create a separate
- build directory, run configure from the build directory and then
- type "make". For example:</p>
- <blockquote><pre>
- $ tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz <i> Unpacks into directory named "sqlite" </i>
- $ mkdir bld <i> Create a separate build directory </i>
- $ cd bld
- $ ../sqlite/configure
- $ make <i> Builds "sqlite" and "libsqlite.a" </i>
- $ make test <i> Optional: run regression tests </i>
