SpatiaLite extends SQLite's existing spatial support to cover the SFS specification.
SpatiaLite is provided natively for Linux and Windows as a software library as well several utilities that incorporate the SpatiaLite library.
SpatiaLite is provided natively for Linux and Windows as a software library as well several utilities that incorporate the SpatiaLite library.
These utilities include command line tools that extend SQLite's own with spatial macros, a graphical GUI for manipulating Spatialite databases and their data, and a simple desktop GIS tool for browsing data.
It isn't necessary to use SpatiaLite to manage spatial data in SQLite, which has its own implementation of R-tree indexes and geometry types, but in order to do advanced spatial queries and support multiple map projections, SpatiaLite is needed.

"' SpatiaLite "'is a spatial extension to SQLite, providing SQL Server with spatial extensions, although SQLite / SpatiaLite aren't based on client-server architecture : they adopt a simpler personal architecture . i . e . the whole SQL engine is directly embedded within the application itself : a complete database simply is an ordinary file which can be freely copied ( or even deleted ) and transferred from one computer / OS to a different one without any special precaution.
