We performed a comparison between PostgreSQL and SQLite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a standard reliable database management system."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Postgres is rock solid when deployed according to best practices as documented by the PostgreSQL community. When it's installed correctly, PostgreSQL is an enterprise-grade solution."
"It is a pretty comprehensive database system. Its performance is good, and it does what it is supposed to do. It also integrates very well."
"This is an open-source solution, operates at a high speed, and supports more than one SQL language."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time data capture; it optimizes database performance. I think using real-time data capture reduces job running time and the amount of data sent at once with batch loads."
"It's quite scalable."
"It's a transactional database, so we use Postgres for most of our reporting. That's where it's helping."
"Sometimes, you want data to persist within the app even when there's no internet connectivity. To avoid showing blank screens, we can use SQLite to store data locally and then sync it with the cloud database when connectivity is restored."
"It was a bit easy to use compared to other tools. It's simple. I found it pretty easy to execute my SQL queries."
"I haven't encountered any problems in my use cases. So, it has been a stable product for me."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."
"It is possible that in the newer version this has been addressed, but I would like the deployment in microservices architecture could be improved."
"It would be great if the solution offered even more integration capabilities."
"It needs more integration."
"A better graphic user-interface would be nice to see."
"We have to set up event API, which takes a lot of events from the user."
"Sometimes, it becomes slow because of the network. So, there is room for improvement in performance."
"The price could be better."
"We often find the solution's datetime datatype challenging."
"I primarily use SQLite for small-scale applications due to its limitations in storing large amounts of data. For larger-scale projects, I typically opt for MySQL or other alternatives. Storing a large number of dates in SQLite can significantly impact its performance."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
"Compared to other tools, the performance was less effective than that of Microsoft Access."
"The performance could be better."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"There are some difficulties on the server side. When syncing data with databases like SQL Server or Oracle, SQLite requires a kind of double effort."
PostgreSQL is ranked 2nd in Open Source Databases with 123 reviews while SQLite is ranked 9th in Open Source Databases with 8 reviews. PostgreSQL is rated 8.4, while SQLite is rated 7.2. The top reviewer of PostgreSQL writes " Real-time data capture optimizes database performance but Views create problems". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SQLite writes " Pretty easy to execute my SQL queries but issues while uploading and importing my dataset". PostgreSQL is most compared with Firebird SQL, EDB Postgres Advanced Server, MySQL, MariaDB and Chroma, whereas SQLite is most compared with Firebird SQL, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle Berkeley DB and LanceDB.
