[UPHPU] SQLite - Is it a strong alternative ?

[jtaber]

Well, I expect it to be mostly run across the web from central server
and I do expect a fair amount of writing and updating to the db.  Have
been using postgresql but just ran into the situation of not many
hosting companies support postgresql and would rather utilize a totally
free solution vs MySQL so thought that SQLite might be a viable
option.   My application is pretty MVC so switching to another db is not
too big a deal.
