Lessons from Running SQLite with Django
Julia Evans
EDITOR BRIEF
The author shares lessons from using SQLite for a Django website. One query using FTS5 was slow until running ANALYZE, which helped SQLite make better query-plan choices. The excerpt also notes that cleaning unwanted rows from the database can be tricky.
INSIGHTS
This shows that even a small SQLite database needs care, not just setup. If you're learning SQL or Django, try running ANALYZE and checking query behavior when performance feels unexpectedly slow.
