Contains the SQLite database management classes that an application would use to manage its own private database.

Applications use these classes to manage private databases. If creating a content provider, you will probably have to use these classes to create and manage your own database to store content. See Content Providers to learn the conventions for implementing a content provider. See the NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application in the SDK for an example of a content provider. Android ships with SQLite version 3.4.0

If you are working with data sent to you by a provider, you will not use these SQLite classes, but instead use the generic {@link android.database} classes.

Android ships with the sqlite3 database tool in the `tools/` folder. You can use this tool to browse or run SQL commands on the device. Run by typing `sqlite3` in a shell window.
