Thanks guys for the informative replies :) We are now just making strategic decision as of which database engine to choose that would give us better cross platform support.
And with such a wonderful tech/community support, I believe SQLite is the right answer :) Cheers -----Original Message----- From: T&B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 12:08 AM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: Re: [sqlite] SQLite on Mac Hi Ahmed, > Does SQLite work on Mac, and if yes, is there any Mac enabled version > that I could download? As others have mentioned, yes, SQLite not only runs on a Mac, but it's already installed as of Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and after. Apple uses it for indexing email in the Mail application, Core Data in XCode development, and media management in high end apps like Aperture. If you have an earlier Mac OS X version, or want the very latest SQLite version, you can download it from the first link under the "Source Code" heading at: http://www.sqlite.org/download.html You'll need the Apple Developer Tools installed on your computer, which comes free with your computer or Mac OS X install discs, to compile and install it in about four steps. To try it out, launch the Terminal program (already in your / Applications/Utilities folder) and type: sqlite3 MyTestDatabase then in the sqlite3 shell, type any sqlite commands, such as: .help .quit create table MyTestTable( Name text, Age integer); and so on. There is also a range of GUI apps for the Mac for editing SQLite databases. Reply here if you need more info.
