Enabling SQLITE_STAT4 for Optimized Range-Scan Estimation in SQLite

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding the Role of SQLITE_STAT4 in Query Optimization SQLite is a lightweight, embedded relational database management system that is widely used due to its simplicity, efficiency, and portability. One of the key features that contribute to SQLite’s performance is its query optimizer, which is responsible for determining the most efficient way to execute a given…

Exploring SQLite’s Potential as a Property Graph Database Solution

Exploring SQLite’s Potential as a Property Graph Database Solution

BySQLite.work Team

Property Graph Database Requirements vs. SQLite’s Relational Foundation Issue Overview The core issue revolves around whether SQLite’s architecture and design philosophy can support a property graph database model. Property graph databases, such as Neo4j and Memgraph, emphasize nodes, edges, and properties as first-class citizens, enabling intuitive representation of complex relationships and graph traversals. These systems…
