When i started with android, my first database project was also an converted access database with 140.000 adresses in it. You wrote fields, i think you mean records?! I am very happy with sqliite, most of the time its fantastic in speed etc.; but there are some features, which you maybe not expect: if you make a field Nr with integer and then you store an string, then you get back this string. You dont get any error message! Also the sort order is strange: the first block is string, then integer an so on.
