Agreed.

Admittedly, I cannot comment on replication options for Sqlite. I have not bothered to even look into this. To me, it already goes beyond the purpose of what makes Sqlite great --- to be a powerful sql in one file. Great for programs that need a storage solution without the reliability of being connected to another machine.

In my client programs using Sqlite, it has been designed in such a way that if the Sqlite file is corrupted then it is not the end of the world. We know what didn't get sent to the server so we recreate the file and resend, etc.

(However, our Sqlite files have been very reliable with the exception of software updates, but we ensure the sqlite db tables are empty before you can update the client software)

Thats why I specified "client software" in my original comment, but I don't see why server-side daemons cannot use it as well. I guess If more than 1 program needs it, though, a combination of CRUD operations, I would recommend something else.
