Is there any documentation of how people use SQLite in odd ways in their everyday activities? For example, do you e-mail SQLite DB files between you, as if they were Excel spreadsheets? Or do you distribute SQLite database files via BitTorrent? Even with multi table databases? That would be a kind of database use that was unheard of in the Oracle/DB2 era, but it certainly should be possible with SQLite. SQLite databases files could be used in a "seti @ home" kind of application, where a screensaver downloads an existing DB file, processes it for some hours, and then uploads the resulting DB file again. But are any such applications or user stories known? Is there a list already?
I've read the Wikipedia article and its list of Google Gears, Android, Mac OS X Tiger, etc. I've also seen the "well-known users of SQLite" page on sqlite.org/famous.html and the "When to use SQLite" page. I've used Oracle since version 7 and MySQL since 3.23 (which isn't very long at all, but anyway). The switch from Oracle to MySQL was made possible for many people because their database was embedded behind a web application anyway (look, no DBA!), so full transaction handling wasn't really needed. That shift in usage pattern opened up for a simpler and more affordable solution. Many other such technology shifts are described in an old book titled "The Innovator's Dilemma". -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
