Someone started something already. Basic for now - good for
exchanging geodata.

Hi Paul,
I have started using SQLite for some projects, mostly just as a
backing store for manipulating some data. I can't help but think it
would be cool if it would be possible to get something like postGIS
running in it.
I know you guys did some analysis of various databases a while back
with an eye to their spatial potential and suitability for postGIS
like inclusion - well at least that was my impression.
Did you look at SQLite?
Have you worked with SQLite?
Got any thoughts on this? Anyone?
I wish I could say I had a client interested in funding, but <sigh>
I don't. But I have found myself googling for info on it 4 separate
times in the past week, which is strange because I have no immediate
use.
The use case for something like this would be to build a standalone
application or web service that has a SQL/Spatial back-end without
the need for installing and administering a postgres database.
As best as I can tell, the major hurdle would be whether or not it
is possible for a reasonable amount of effort to integrate a spatial
index system into SQLite.
Anyway, thought I would ask? See what other people thought?
Thanks,
-Steve
