VisitMatisse vs SQLite
What both publish
| Fact | Matisse | SQLite |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 1990 | 2000 |
| Headquarters | Burlingame, California, United States | Charlotte, North Carolina, USA |
| Product | Matisse combines native support for objects, XML, and SQL in a single database. | SQLite is an in-process, self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration transactional SQL database engine. |
| Security | The Matisse server administration guide describes an access-control setting that restricts database access to the operating-system user who started it unless that user creates additional users. | The security guidance says SQLite is extensively fuzz-tested and recommends defensive settings and lower input limits for applications accepting untrusted SQL. |
