A Good Intro to SQLite

While watching the iPhone SDK announcement yesterday, I noticed that SQLite has been bundled with the iPhone in what Apple calls Core Services. Most likely, the iPhone uses SQLite to store all of the user data such as contacts, phone calls, Mobile Safari Bookmarks, etc.

In addition to the iPhone, SQLite has been embedded with several applications and services that I’ve been using directly or high profile projects that I’ve come across. Some of those include Mac OS X software NetNewsWire (my RSS feed reader), SpamSieve (a client side anti-spam solution for OS X), Ruby on Rails, and Google Gears.

So, while SQLite has been on my radar screen for a while, I haven’t actually sat down for a primer on the program. That is until I came across the Google Video Introduction to SQLite a recorded talk with the author of SQLite, Richard Hipp.

It’s definitely one of the best intros to SQLite that I’ve come across.
