SQLite for Mac is an in-process library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. The code for SQLite is in the public domain and is thus free for use for any purpose, commercial or private. SQLite for macOS is the most widely deployed database in the world with more applications than we can count, including several high-profile projects.

Features and Highlights
  • Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) even after system crashes and power failures.
  • Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
  • Full SQL implementation with advanced features like partial indexes and common table expressions. (Omitted features)
  • A complete database is stored in a single cross-platform disk file. Great for use as an application file format.
  • Supports terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte-sized strings and blobs. (See limits.html.)
  • Small code footprint: less than 500KiB fully configured or much less with optional features omitted.
  • Simple, easy to use API.
  • Written in ANSI-C. TCL bindings included. Bindings for dozens of other languages available separately.
  • Well-commented source code with 100% branch test coverage.
  • Available as a single ANSI-C source-code file that is easy to compile and hence is easy to add into a larger project.
  • Self-contained: no external dependencies.
  • Cross-platform: Android, *BSD, iOS, Linux, Mac, Solaris, VxWorks, and Windows (Win32, WinCE, WinRT) are supported out of the box. Easy to port to other systems.
  • Sources are in the public domain. Use for any purpose.
  • Comes with a standalone command-line interface (CLI) client that can be used to administer SQ Lite databases.

What's new in this version:

Enhancements to the query planner:
- Improve the query-time index optimization so that it works on WITHOUT ROWID tables
- Better query plans for large star-query joins. This fixes three different performance regressions that were reported on the SQLite Forum.
- When two or more queries have the same estimated cost, use the one with the fewer bytes per row.
- Enhance the iif() SQL function so that it can accept any number of arguments greater than or equal to two.
- Enhance the session extension so that it works on databases that make use of generated columns
- Omit the SQLITE_USE_STDIO_FOR_CONSOLE compile-time option which was not implemented correctly and never worked right. In its place add the SQLITE_USE_W32_FOR_CONSOLE_IO compile-time option. This option applies to command-line tools like the CLI only, not to the SQLite core. It causes Win32 APIs to be used for console I/O instead of stdio. This option affects Windows builds only.
- Three new options to sqlite3_db_config(). All default "on"
- Replace Autotools with Autosetup for the configure script used in the precompiled amalgamation tarball. The configure script for the canonical source code was changed to Autosetup in the previous (3.48.0) release. Only the main SQLite configure script in the amalgamation tarball is changed. The (deprecated) configuration script use by TEA subdirectory of the amalgamation tarball still relies on Autotools.
- Various minor patches and fixes for problems seen in the 3.48.0 release
