Confusion about documentation / database / sqlite / HA blue

Hi,

I found on

the following:


Home Assistant uses database to store events and parametersis for history and tracking. The default database used is Sqlite …

To work with SQLite database manually from the command-line, you will need an installation of sqlite3 …


My questions:

  • are sqlite and sqlite3 2 different things?

  • which is standard in the Image (installation)?

  • and which of them is standard on ‘Home Assistant Blue’?

Thanks in advance,

Sander

No, sqlite is the program and sqlite3 is version 3 of the sqlite program.

And

Is merely one possible hardware platform that you can run HA on

Home Assistant Blue is just an HA appliance running Home Assistant OS, so I assume that sqlite3 is used by default. As with every instance of Home Assistant, you can choose alternative database backends, like MariaDB.
