Presumably, this is no longer a problem, but many years
ago (between 14 and 10 years ago) I was using sqlite
for a low traffic website (probably no more than 40
users at a time), and the database became corrupted so
often that I had had to automate rebuilding it from the
latest backup and my own sql logs. I was very silly.
Switching to postgres was the real solution.
