SQLite
Serverless relational database management system
SQLite is suitable for small to medium wikis with low to moderate traffic and is particularly advantageous for portable installations, such as those running from a USB stick, due to its single-file database structure that simplifies backups and migration. It does not require a separate database server, reducing administrative overhead and potential points of failure. However, SQLite does not scale beyond a single server, making it unsuitable for wikis that may grow to have many concurrent users or large amounts of content.
