PostgreSQL is an order of magnitude more complex and extensible than SQLite.

Any comparison is basic at best.



I suspect it may be closer to 2 orders of magnitude than 1.

eg look at the pg docs re: at least 5 different types of indices are implemented https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes.html

Everything is like that.

(I'm not bashing sqlite, it's great software, but it has a tiny fraction of the product footprint that pg has.)


*6 different index types.

And that's just core, not even including built-in extensions like bloom.
