A query question frequently exposes design choices, either logical or physical. Both of those can have great effect on the utility and performance of the system. Answering SQL questions helps people use SQLite more effectively, and to understand where it differs from other DBMSs. Queries occasionally provoke changes in SQLite itself, either because the output was wrong (or unexpected), or because it presented a case for optimization. I have to believe that real queries from users on this list serve to inform the developers in how SQLite is used.

I've been hanging out here for 18 months, and I remember only one annoying trivial-query participant. Out of 13,693 messages, that doesn't amount to much. --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
