Why SQLite Uses Bytecode (via) Brand new SQLite architecture documentation by D. Richard Hipp explaining the trade-offs between a bytecode based query plan and a tree of objects.
SQLite uses the bytecode approach, which provides an important characteristic that SQLite can very easily execute queries incrementally—stopping after each row, for example. This is more useful for a local library database than for a network server where the assumption is that the entire query will be executed before results are returned over the wire.
