Re: [sqlite] Database Commoditization and SQLite

[Rick Langschultz]

I think commercial database solutions have their place in the market, and I don't think Richard looks bad in this article. He simply created something that needed to be created. When I am developing an application that uses a database I first lay everything out on whiteboard, then I write some SQLite SQL code, then start writing my application using sqlite3.h. Once I have everything worked out in the sqlite3 code I am able to plug in other APIs like postgresql, mysql, etc. It is so much easier to do it this way and test everything without having continuous access to the database servers or software.

I want SQLite to continue to add features and remain stable.

Keep up the great work.

More or less it is a database on the go with stability, and community support.

Says Brian Aker, Director of Architecture at MySQL AB:

  "SQLite has commoditized the entire low end of the database
   market out of existence."
