SQLite database corruption leads to permanent data loss.
Some other reasons for SQLite database corruption are bugs attack, virus infection, storage media failure, software malfunction, sudden power failure, etc. It may result in ACID ( Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) property violation which will lead to SQLite database corruption. But if you use it an I/O barrier, this will lead to any failure rolling back the actions further. You should only use the sync command to perform SQLite database synchronization.
In SQLite database, each value has one of these storage classes: NULL, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, and BLOB.Īs I mentioned earlier, SQLite database is prone to corruption like any other database file.The datatype of a value is associated with the value itself, not with its container.
SQLite works as an in-process library that has a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, and transactional SQL database engine.
