I'm afraid you missed the point where I said that SQLite is not usable
as a full strenght SQL based RDBMS. It lacks several features that are
really required for anything but trivial DB applications (yes, that's
DB in the meaning of Berkeley DB).

Despite it's popularity, it took MySQL many years to get at that point.
