Sqlite3 or QtSql

Question

Need to make a small database for a desktop app built using PySide. I don't know if both(sqlite3 and QtSql) are similar or not, but I'm leaning towards sqlite3. This is because, well, its Pythonic! I wanna know if I'll be missing out on something or not, such as performance, features, etc. (Or is there a convention to use each one considering the project at hand?)

I know this question will get closed because it may not seem constructive enough, and I'm sorry for that.

Answer 1

QtSql isn't a database engine like SQLite is, rather it is software for accessing databases through the Qt environment.

The Qt SQLite plugin makes it possible to access SQLite databases. SQLite is an in-process database, which means that it is not necessary to have a database server. SQLite operates on a single file, which must be set as the database name when opening a connection. If the file does not exist, SQLite will try to create it. SQLite also supports in-memory databases, simply pass ":memory:" as the database name. - Source
