Why can't the mapper use a special table of > three columns (I will use example from Alexey): We can replace the "drop column" functionality by easy SQL script but we can't replace the COMMENT statements functionality without uncontrolled grow of database schema complexity and the loss of independance of single table. Main questions: Can you dump only single table from your database and load it into second database? Can you use Fossil SCM or other for easy versioning schemas of your tables independently? And optionally: Can you easy transform your database dump by shell utilities (sed, awk,etc)? Can you search by grep dump of your database? The really simple and useful ideology: sqlite3 1.db '.dump'|sed ... | sqlite3 2.db or sqlite3 1.db '.dump' > dump.sql fossil diff dump.sql With SQLite we can do many things very simple. Why not? -- Best regards, Alexey Pechnikov. http://pechnikov.tel/ _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
