Just google around a bit:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_SQL_database_management_systems>
<http://kiwitobes.com/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems.html>

Problem is that doing such comparisons tends to be tedious, so those
docs tend to be outdated (or do you want to volunteer to make the next
one ;-)

But PostgreSQL and SQLite are such different beasts that it makes very
little sense to compare them seriously. Like a truck and a bicycle. I
wouldn't like to have to carry a load of bricks by bicycle -- but I
wouldn't like to have to shoulder a truck.
