  1. SQLite does not support concurrent user operations, meaning only one user can read or write to the database at a time, leading to performance bottlenecks.<\/li>\n
  2. SQLite does not support advanced database features such as stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions.<\/li>\n
  3. SQLite does not support remote access and can only be used locally.<\/li>\n
  4. SQLite does not support a full-fledged permission management system, thus it cannot provide fine-grained control over user permissions.<\/li>\n
  5. SQLite has limited support for data types and does not support storing complex data types such as date\/time and binary large objects.<\/li>\n
  6. SQLite has limited support for concurrency, which may result in data consistency issues when multiple users access the database simultaneously.<\/li>\n
  7. SQLite is not suitable for handling large-scale data due to its limitations on file size, resulting in decreased performance with a large amount of data.<\/li>\n
  8. SQLite does not support backup and restore functionality, so users need to manually backup the database files.<\/li>\n
  9. The performance of SQLite is limited by hardware capabilities, and may face performance bottlenecks in large-scale concurrent applications.<\/li>\n
  10. SQLite is more suitable for small applications or as a secondary database, rather than being used as the main database in a production environment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
