SQLite Is a Library of Congress Recommended Storage Format

SQLite earned the Library of Congress's seal of approval as a recommended storage format, scoring 192 evaluation points, a triumph for the unglamorously robust database engine. Its enduring reliability, proven over two decades, makes it faster than the average archival solution. While flashier alternatives may offer modern features, SQLite guarantees permanent data access, a quality that outperforms #5's focus on trendy flexibility. This designation cements SQLite's role as a foundational, battle-tested tool for long-term digital preservation.
