Why would I use anything other than sqlite?
2 comments

Easy. Sometimes it's more than you need, and there's no reason to use sqlite when you can just write things to a flat text file that you can `grep` against.
Is this text file static? If not, does all grepping stop when you're updating the file?
Damn good point! didn't think about that!
Query engine is not as good.
