SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities.
SQLite is intrinsically simple and lightweight:

  • a single lightweight library implementing the full SQL engine
  • standard SQL implementation: almost complete SQL-92
  • no complex client/server architecture
  • a whole database simply corresponds to a single monolithic file (no size limits)
  • any DB-file can be safely exchanged across different platforms, because the internal architecture is universally portable
  • no installation, no configuration

SpatiaLite is smoothly integrated into SQLite to provide a complete and powerful Spatial DBMS (mostly OGC-SFS compliant).
Using SQLite + SpatiaLite you can effectively deploy an alternative open source Spatial DBMS roughly equivalent to PostgreSQL + PostGIS.

SpatiaLite is licensed under the MPL tri-license terms; you are free to choose the best-fit license between:
