Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) even after system crashes and power failures.
Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
Implements most of SQL92. (Features not supported)
A complete database is stored in a single disk file.
Database files can be freely shared between machines with different byte orders.
Supports databases up to 2 terabytes (241 bytes) in size.
Sizes of strings and BLOBs limited only by available memory.
Small code footprint: less than 250KiB fully configured or less than 150KiB with optional features omitted.
Faster than popular client/server database engines for most common operations.
Simple, easy to use API.
TCL bindings included. Bindings for many other languages available separately.
Well-commented source code with over 95% test coverage.
Self-contained: no external dependencies.
