SQLite has its own decisions, to keep itself embeddable and low-footprint. There are many choices on the server but little on embedded devices like mobile phones. I have faced many problems that arise when using SQLite in a cross-platform mobile app, such as corruption and deadlock. However, there are almost no proven alternatives to SQLite.
