Does anyone know how to check acid properties of sqlite?

Check the definition and test the property behind each letter separately.

Atomic: Try making two changes and then either ROLLBACK or COMMIT. Look for not-ROLLBACKED and not-COMMITED changes. Check combinations of rows changed by 1 UPDATE, rows changed by 2 UPDATEs in the same table, different tables or different attached databases.

Consistency: Try inserting/updating rows that violate constraints (remember to enable foreign key constraints). What those are is up to the author of the schema.

Independance: Try performing two transactions on the same row/table/database/across multiple attached databases in independent threads/processes. Check that data reread after both transactions are complete conform to expecations. In SQLite you will have to set a busy timeout to avoid the second transaction failing with "database is locked". Try to start the transactions simultaneously, so the changes occur in both orders.

Durability: Try killing threads/processes/power while transactions are in all states of progress (before/after first/last change, during commit), check to see if all comitted transactions are still present after the journal/WAL file has been processed.

"SQLite" is fully certified. You can read the leaflet. It has few contraindications. And few known side effects. And 10^12 units have already been sold.

Impressive. That would be about 125 copies per person alive today. Or over 200 times the total COVID vaccine shots administered worldwide.

Regarding: "....125 copies per person "

One dose leaves you wanting more.

If you have a smartphone, a car, a SatNav device, a TV, a PVR, a security camera, a power smartmeter, a smartwatch, a games console, you have nine copies of SQLite. If you have a Windows/Apple computer too, you have another four or five copies.

Some of the less expected devices I have found SQLite in:

  • the machines in carparks (parking lots ?) which record entry/exit/payments
  • the hand-held devices some parking inspectors use to print tickets
  • a lathe which you can program with curve profiles
  • a hand-held gas detector used to spot leaks
  • the smartmeter connected to my power supply

Almost every Android and iOS app has at least one SQLite DB. Per phone 50 to 100 DBs is quite common.

How did you get your estimate? Other researches tell me that every phone has several hundred databases.
