Description
Hi,
I've developed various plugins using the SQLite database and have typically stored the database files in the uploads directory. However, after reviewing this plugin, I believe it would be a great idea to establish an official location for storing SQLite database files. If there's agreement on this approach, the WordPress core SQLite database could reside in /wp-content/database/wp/, while other plugins could store their own databases in dedicated subdirectories like /wp-content/database/plugin-slug/.
