Indeed. Very good reply. To Sylvain, once again: speculating on what went into the minds of the developers, when they set out to develop SQLite, they chose the best, most concise, most portable, most universally compilable, mother of almost all languages. Once they developed something that was free, fast and cheap, there was no reason to change. Case closed. If you thing C++ can do a better job at doing what SQLite does on all the variety of platforms that it runs on flawlessly, well, the source code is available in public domain -- go ahead and create SQLite++ by transcribing each function into the language of your choice. May the better plan win. -- Puneet Kishor _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
