Abstract
That concludes our journey through SQLite, not only in this chapter but the book as well. We hope you have enjoyed it. As you saw in Chapter 1, SQLite is more than merely a free database. It is a well-written software library with a wide range of applications. It is a database, a utility, and a helpful programming tool.
What you have seen in this chapter barely scratches the surface of the internals, but it should give you a better idea about how things work nonetheless. And it also gives you an appreciation for how elegantly SQLite approaches a very complex problem. You know firsthand how big SQL is, and you’ve seen the complexity of the models behind it. Yet SQLite is a small library and manages to put many of these concepts to work in a small amount of code and excels!
