Difference Between SQLite and MySQLite ?


SQLite :
 
    1. Easy to set up and in many cases no configuration or installation is necessary.

    2. Great for rapid development.

    3. Suitable for using in embedded applications and installations and embedding into applications                         themselves. 

    4. Not good for large scale databases as SQLite stores the database in a single file and this can fall under          the restrictions of the operating system where SQLite is not capable of splitting the data across                      volumes. 

    5. Not suitable for use in any situation where a Client/Server Architecture is needed.

     6. Great for rapid development

MySQLite :

    1. More difficult to set up and configuration of users is a must.

    2. Good for creating temporary databases as well as for test purposes. This would only be practical if                 you have the MySQL database server and client already set up.

    3. Great for rapid development in some situations. 

    4.  Perfect for concurrency transactions on the data and is well suited for multi-user environment.

    5. Great for large scale production applications which scale even over clustered database configurations.

    6. Perfect for using in a Client/Server Architecture set up.





Difference Between Content-Provider and SQLite ? 

           SQLite database created on Android by one application is usable only by that application, not by                  other applications.

          Content Provider Share data beteen applications, you need to use it as recommended in Android




Difference Between Shared Preferences and SQLite ?

Shared Preferences:

      1 . Shared Preference is Lightweight, Quick and easy to use  and Easy to debug .

      2 . Slow when dealing with lots of data

      3. Not helpful when the data is more than a simple key/value affair.

      4.  Entire file needs to be read and parsed to access data


SQLite :

     1. Scales nicely , Changes don't require rewriting the entire data file from scratch  and   Powerful queries

     2.  More code to write.

     3.  More heavyweight (code and memory), overkill when dealing with a little bit of data.
