I think that SQLite is a rather special "database" most often used
for single application use on single user system. And that includes
more or less all of the listed systems and environmens on the page
referenced above. More like a .INI file with an SQL frontend. It is
single-file-only and has no concurency (everything is serialized).

Do include it on VMS, but it is more or less unusable for any real
application use. Maybe to hold some configuration parameters or such
but probably not for live application data.
