+SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. Programs
+that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without
+running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone
+command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an
+SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite
+library.
+
+SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big database server.
+SQLite is the server. The SQLite library reads and writes directly to and
+from the database files on disk.
