Hi Marco, > SQLite is an incredible product but a lot of people that doesn't know > it very well find easier to just blame it to be too simpler or not > enough powerful. > This is simply not true. with all respect. :-) Of course I can believe it will beat power of mySQL, Postgre, Oracle :-) Do such things as e.g. sin(f1) * cos(f2), produce/parse XML, and tons of other features.... Do you know why sqllite was extended to support numeric types, while on start they was so proud to have all as text? Do you want to hear prediction of next steps they will MUST to do to become better? They have start from simple things, and they repeat mistakes and steps of other dbs of 10-20 years age. ------- Have you ever see other small SQL engines of the world? For example vistaDB from .NET world? (I have see one more other similar engine of this level. Not remember now its name). I can say that both these engines beat sqllite a lots by features, having size near to be the same in 300-600Kb (thing which make them proud :-) So believe me, exists other impressive lite sql engines. Only win feature of sqllite is that it is open source and free by author. That both engines are commercial. But what is true -- design of SQL Lite is really cool idea. Here respect to author. On the other hand easy to see how this design will prevent its fast grow. Although Author self have claim in their wiki, then no need do future development. -- Best regards, Ruslan Zasukhin VP Engineering and New Technology Paradigma Software, Inc Valentina - Joining Worlds of Information http://www.paradigmasoft.com [I feel the need: the need for speed] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
