Nope, I'm talking about searching on non-indexed column.

I didn't say it's difficult, but certainly sqlite is much easier. You use
sqlite just like any other libraries, no setup required, just supply a
single dll/so (or nothing if you statically linked it). With firebird
embedded, you need to:
- supply a bunch of dll/so (firebird doesn't consist of just one)
- specify a config file
- set some environment variables before program start
easy, but certainly more than sqlite.

As sqlite page says, it's designed to compete with fopen. sqlite does a good
job for easy data storage and retrieval, where it doesn't need complicated
setup like fopen, but it can be used (in terms of storing and retrieving
data, from its users point of view) like an rdbms :)
