HN… for the love of god… please please stop trying to make SQLite be something it isn’t. Leave this poor project alone.
It’s a great tool if you want to give a local app its own database. If you need concurrent writes and full ACID guarantees of an industrial strength database, use an industrial strength database.
Yes, other databases will require you to read more manual pages and configure a service. Higher up front cost. Not “lightweight.” But given enough operating time there is a certain unarguable lightness to using the right tool for the job.
- yomismoaqui 2mo agoJust by its testing and its number of installations (real world testing) you could consider SQLite being more "industrial strength" than any other DB on the market. - https://sqlite.org/testing.html https://sqlite.org/testing.html - https://sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html https://sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html EDIT: added links
- eduction 2mo agoExactly. There is no reason to complain about it. It is successful. People who find it lacking can use something else, there are many options.
- Cyberdog 2mo agoI don’t understand why a local app database shouldn’t still have the same basic functionality and data guarantees as the full-sized ones.
