Couchbase vs SQLite

• Key/value data store. Couchbase is blazing fast at data access and retrieval when you know what keys you want to access.
• Data querying with N1QL. If you have your indexes set up right, searching your unstructured data can be really fast too.
• Management dashboard. The Couchbase platform has a great admin panel that provides tons of insights into how your cluster is performing.

• The biggest one has to be that it is freeware and open source as well. It means for an entry level person who wants to learn relational database and even for a team in the early development stage where security and size of the data are not much, it is a perfect fit in those cases.
• It requires no extra configuration or space because it a server-less installation and also done in just a few mins. So, installing this is never a blocker. It is the actual lite version of SQL as the name suggests and it very powerful and capable of doing all the things which SQL can do, but lacks some of the security and advanced features.
• It prepares the data for us in a structured form in terms of Tables with a file size less than 1 Mb for the complete database entries. It saves us a lot of physical space.
• It is the most suitable DB for Android systems because mobile apps do not have a lot of space or resources for a separate DB, but this one integrates with the whole ecosystem very nicely and we are able to make the most out of it and that too with a file lesser than 1 Mb in size.

• Should allow servers to change their roles on the fly - currently you will need to take down the server and re-assign roles
• SDK documentation is not as helpful and should have more examples
• No pre-compiled procedures - unlike in SQL Server, Couchbase does not have pre-compiled stored procedures therefore we have to run various test to optimize our application

• Better data recovery when the database becomes corrupt would be ideal. I've learned to minimize it by closing the database more frequently, but it can still happen.
• Lack of built-in data encryption.
• SQLite is a single-user DBMS. If a multi-user system is required, then an alternative is required.

• We can implement the mobile app using community release.
• The peer to peer syncing technology saves our development time.
• The CRUD process will be stopped when index and view are growing rapidly, we have to delete index files and reindex again.

• We could start immediately to work with SQLite.
• It's very easy. The document is well done and easy to find.
• Having such good database system, free of charge and for any purpose is good news.
