SQLite & Visual Basic

SQLite is an embedded relational database engine. It is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration and transactional SQL database engine. SQLite implements most of the SQL-92 standard for SQL. The SQLite engine is not a standalone process. Instead, it is statically or dynamically linked into the application. An SQLite database is a single ordinary disk file that can be located anywhere in the directory hierarchy.

Visual Basic is a modern, high-level, general-purpose, object-based programming language. It is the second most important language of the .NET framework. The main design goal of the language was to create an easy to use and learn programming language. It was derived from the classic BASIC language.
