SQLite vs CFData



Folks.

Can someone elaborate on the relationship between SQLite and CFData. The docs suggest that CFData uses SQLite.

I have used SQLite with good results as a regular database, but reading about CFData I can't really understand the relationship, it looks to me that CFData just allows a user to create a 'data block' of arbitrary size which presumably is automatically cached off disk (via SQLite ?)

I am having trouble understanding whether CFData is designed to be used *instead* of SQLite for the same type of job ? if so, I must have missed some detail about how one would setup a 'multi-field' relational database with CFData.

Perhaps its really not intended to do the same job, and the use of SQLite for CFData is merely incidental.

Any comments ?
