Richard has it right this time. Today DeviceSQL uses no SQLite code. One of
the things we might consider is bolting the SQLite parser/front end to our
table engine, in theory to get the both worlds. Just an idea at the moment.
Such an interesting discussion to be following. I must say though, it
seems DeviceSQL has opened the door to speculation due to
unsubstantiated claims in advertising, as far as I see it. IMHO, so
long as there is no independent, unbiased, side by side test results
presented somewhere by some reliable source, there will always be some
room for "ifs" and "buts" by both sides.
Maybe DeviceSQL should go open source, so the public can judge for them
selves the qualities of the two products. There would still be money to
be made from paid support. Who knows, both parties could benefit, and
customers too. At least there'd be a clearer view of the pros and cons.
There is something to be said for a product being open source, that is
the code is scrutinized by the world. Closed shop code can possibly
still be very good, but without seeing it, how would we know? Reminds
me of a story about a cat: dead or alive, we won't know until we open
the box it's in, and prior to that, is it only half dead?
One only has to look at the MSDN code examples to see the ugliness of
closed source code development...(sorry Bill)
