SQLite vs. SQLite Data Access Components vs. Scriptcase vs. WatermelonDB Comparison Chart

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with SQLite. SQLite Data Access Components (LiteDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to SQLite from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. LiteDAC is designed for programmers to develop truly cross-platform desktop and mobile SQLite database applications with no need to deploy any additional libraries. LiteDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy and do not require the installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), and that's why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, LiteDAC provides an additional opportunity to work with SQLite in Delphi and C++Builder directly by linking the client library statically in your application.

​WatermelonDB is a reactive database framework designed to build powerful React and React Native apps that scale from hundreds to tens of thousands of records while remaining fast. It ensures instant app launch regardless of data volume, supports lazy loading to load data only when needed, and offers offline-first capabilities with synchronization to your own backend. It is multiplatform. Optimized for React, it allows easy integration of data into components and is framework-agnostic, enabling the use of its JavaScript API with other UI frameworks. Built on a robust SQLite foundation, WatermelonDB provides static typing with Flow or TypeScript and optional reactivity through an RxJS API. WatermelonDB addresses performance issues in complex applications by loading nothing until requested and performing all querying directly on SQLite on a separate native thread, ensuring most queries resolve instantly.
