   - Keeps sqlite database in known, platform specific user data location on all supported platforms (Android/iOS/macOS/Windows), which can be reconfigured on iOS/macOS. Whether or not the database on the iOS platform is synchronized to iCloud depends on the selected database location.
   - No arbitrary size limit. SQLite limits described at: <http://www.sqlite.org/limits.html>
