Which is better SQLite or MySQL?

Both the SQLite and MYSQL have certain advantages. SQLite is file-based — the database consists of a single file on the disk, which makes it extremely portable and reliable. Although it might appear like a “simple” DB implementation, SQL is used in SQLite. On the other hand, MySQL is very easy to work with.

Is SQLite in memory?

An SQLite database is normally stored in a single ordinary disk file. However, in certain circumstances, the database might be stored in memory. Every :memory: database is distinct from every other. So, opening two database connections each with the filename “:memory:” will create two independent in-memory databases.
