All, Am starting to look at using sqlite in our organization. For some of the data we work with it's a no-brainer to dump the data into sql and use sql as our storage mechanism. However, a large amount of the data generated by our tool is (and will be) stored in our own custom formats.
So I was looking at the Virtual Table http://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html My question is, how much of this concept/interface is experimental, and how much is stable? (I realize that nothing marked 'experimental' can safely be said to be 'stable') As I look through the main page (link above), I cannot find the word 'experimental', but as I click on some of the links I sometimes (often) see experimental. Oh, I think I just answered my own question - I clicked on the _vtab link ( http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/vtab.html) and saw *it* is experimental. bummer... Anyway, can someone provide history on how much has it has changed over releases, when it was introduced? Just so I have some contextual basis on whether or not to explore this option. The problem we're trying to solve is how to provide a generic interface for visualization of data, and 95% of the problem is just determining the relationships between various things, providing grouping/sorting, etc. which is exactly what the SQL language is built for... thanks, TJ -- Trey Jackson bigfacew...@gmail.com "Like any truly useful program, `hello' contains a built-in mail reader." -- GNU's Bulletin, July 1996 _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
