SQLite (/ˌɛsˌkjuːˌɛlˈt/,[3][4] /ˈskwəˌlt/[5]) is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in a C library. In contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not a client–server database engine. Rather, it is embedded into the end program.

The SQLite team published a document Code of Ethics, also known as "Code of Conduct", as a reference for developers, in which the founder and the developers participating in the project pledged to govern their interactions with each other, with their clients, and with the larger SQLite community, taking inspiration from chapter 4 of the Rule of Saint Benedict.
