restrictions

see also http://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html

• no access permissions (other than file permissions); this is not so much a problem, because we use our own tables for access permissions anyways
• no sequences (need a workaround: use eg. http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q1 AUTOINCREMENT)
• no foreign key constraints

purpose

SQLite is easy to install, and therefore is useful for setting up demo systems for evaluation of OpenPetra.org
