Forgive my ignorance. SQLite is a database software. Why would McAffee create lots of database files?
[Edit:] I’m not asking why a program needs to store data. I’m asking why that necessitates many files. One database file (or one per table) should be enough, right?
Sqlite is a great embedded database.
If you are storing lots and lots of information in a JSON file, CSV file, or coming up with your own serialisation... Chances are, sqlite is going to do it better.
I know loads of android apps use sqlite for storage. I've also managed to open quite a few programmes "proprietary" file format in sqlite.
A yes, the two genders of binary file formats: renamed sqlite file and renamed zip folder.
Don't forget renamed and compressed xml + zip
