Many Small Queries Are Efficient In SQLite

SQLite handles many small queries efficiently because it runs in-process without network round-trips, unlike client/server databases. The N+1 query pattern, considered an anti-pattern in MySQL or PostgreSQL, works well with SQLite due to minimal latency per query. The SQLite website demonstrates this by executing ~200 SQL statements per dynamic page with sub-25ms response times. This approach enables better code separation and maintainability without performance penalties, allowing developers to choose between few complex queries or many simple ones based on their needs.
