SQLite & Ruby

SQLite is an embedded relational database engine. It is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration and transactional SQL database engine. SQLite implements most of the SQL-92 standard for SQL. The SQLite engine is not a standalone process. Instead, it is statically or dynamically linked into the application. An SQLite database is a single ordinary disk file that can be located anywhere in the directory hierarchy.

Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, general-purpose object-oriented programming language. Recently it became very popular in web programming, mainly due to the successful Ruby on Rails framework.
