Hi, Somehow no one seems to have mentioned it on this mailing list so far!? Here is the scoop...
On March 23, Oracle announced the latest release of Oracle® Berkeley DB - 11g Release 2 - which introduces a new SQL API, based on lo and behold, SQLite v3 API. What this means is that all tools that work with SQLite will also work with Oracle Berkeley DB. Here is the link to press release: http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0599534.htm There is a supporting quote from DRH in the announcement: "Oracle Berkeley DB 11g Release 2 combines seamlessly the benefits of SQLite's ubiquitous API with Oracle Berkeley DB's concurrency and performance into an easy-to-use product," said Dr. Richard Hipp, architect, SQLite. "SQLite users can now benefit from enhanced concurrency and performance, and Oracle Berkeley DB users can now benefit from an easy-to-use SQL API." What I am confused about is the following quote from Mike Owens, author of "The Definitive Guide to SQLite.": "...Oracle has done a fantastic job of not only integrating the technologies, but also being an exemplary participant in the open source community by contributing time, expertise and resources to the SQLite project." How So? Is SQLite getting a high concurrency module from BDB in exchange for its SQL API? If yes, could someone provide details? If not, could someone please explain why one would choose SQLite over BDB going forward?
