SQLite Databases | Python Programming: (Build App and API )

SQLite is a software library that provides a relational database management system. The lite in SQLite means lightweight in terms of setup, database administration, and required resources.  SQLite does NOT require a server to run.

Because of the serverless architecture, you don’t need to “install” SQLite before using it. There is no server process that needs to be configured, started, and stopped. SQLite uses dynamic types for tables. It means you can store any value in any column, regardless of the data type.

SQLite is self-contained means it requires minimal support from the operating system or external library. This makes SQLite usable in any environment especially in embedded devices like iPhones, Android phones, game consoles, handheld media players, etc.

SQLite is capable of creating in-memory databases which are very fast to work with.

SQLite database is integrated with the application that accesses the database. The applications interact with the SQLite database read and write directly from the database files stored on disk.

Python is a popular and versatile programming language. It can be used for web development (server-side) to create web applications, software development, mathematics, system scripting, data science, data visualization. Python can be used alongside software to create workflows. Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.

The Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc). Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language. Python has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. The Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.

In this practical hands-on course, we will build a database-driven application and an API from scratch with SQLite and Python.
