Open to many interpretations: If you mean breadth of scope of GUI, wizard helpers, large eco sphere from transformation to analysis services: obviosly no contest as SQLite just aims to be the best embedded DB, even not targeting real multi user access.

If you are talking text based vs. binary fields, implementation detail to ease endian problems - SQLite db files are extremly portable. Remembring the niceties of 6800 vs. X86 as well as Real4, Real6 and Real8 I applaud ;-)

For me it is a solidly working bee doing it's stuff extremly well - can you point me to many reports of data loss using SQLite stemming from internal programming errors ? It is not MEANT to be MU-ACID.
