SQLite · Local · relational SQL
Can you run SQLite on Android?
Short answer
Yes. SQLite runs directly on your Android device through PocketCode's database manager — no server, no network, no setup. Because SQLite is a single self-contained file, you create tables, run SQL, browse and edit rows, and design schemas completely offline. It's the same engine Android itself uses for local storage.
What you can do with it
- Prototype an app's local data model before wiring it into your project
- Store and query offline-first data with zero configuration or server
- Inspect and edit the .db files your Android apps already create
- Learn and practice SQL on a real relational engine, fully offline
Good to know
SQLite is file-based and single-writer, so it's ideal for local and embedded storage rather than high-concurrency multi-user workloads. When you need a full client/server database running on the device, use PocketCode's embedded PostgreSQL instead.
