Mh, > Simplified Application Development It's depend "application development" is a vast area... > Single-File Documents Not much related to SQlite, can be or cannot be done with nearly any format you like. Also remember as a good advise how worse go Catia v6 R2009 (Catia is the best CAD/CAE/CAM suite in the world, used anywhere from automotive to aerospace&defence, it's sole real competitor are Creo (formerly Pro-e) and Nx) when it start to offer single-file PLMs for "light usage"... > High-Level Query Language Depending on the format you choose you may have the best/highest level query language: your own apps programming language itself, so IMO may not be an SQLite plus at all > Accessible Content Any binary content is FAR LESS accessible than text > Better Applications Sorry, it have NO mining at all. I like SQLite for many aspects but I certainly not look at it as a file format for most applications I use or imaging, for some usage is really nice, for others usages {Tokyo,Kioto}Cabinet is another nice format, for MANY other usage text files in various format, binary files in various formats (including classic pickle) may be better...
