Re: Which sqlite?
neville noticed, >It is easy enough to install a more capable version of sqlite on the Mac, but >I don’t see a way to get LC to use it. It seems to me that several years ago I briefly used an external SQLite, but I cannot remember how I started with mysql (on livecode’s server, come to think of it, or was it still runrev?), but performance was beyond molasses, as livecode cannot do a compound query on mysql. I shifted to hosting my own postgreSQL, and then (if I have the order straight) switched from an array of variables to the included SQLite for local storage, updating periodically. The problem with trying to use the Mac-supplied databases is that they sometimes change without notice. I started using the internal postgres, and then, one day, my whole system suddenly stopped working. It turned out that apple had changed major postgres releases on a minor maintenance release. And the postgres's weren’t compatible with one another! I had to install an older postgres to export my data, and at that point stayed with running my own postgres. If you’re going to use the built-in, you need to be *very* careful. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
