Does couchbase use Sqlite in 2017?

Im running through the Couchbase mobile tutorial here. The WPF app creates a db.sqlite file. Is this correct? I was under the impression Couchbase had its own proprietary db.

Solution

  • For a while we experimented with a proprietary DB (ForestDB) on mobile, but it didn't work out well enough in the end so things are back to SQLite. You can still switch to ForestDB in 1.2+, but I don't recommend it because it will be dropped in 2.0 until such time that it becomes viable again.

    So short answer: Yes, it uses SQLite.
