I recently hacked at sqlite to support some features I wanted (being able to retrieve same named columns from different tables in jdbc result sets and implementing some mysql functions) and it was not fun. I guess maybe it says something that as someone with very limited c exposure I was able to get the column hack working in a night, but honestly following the code around was a chore. Lots of conditionals in a single function meant jumping back and forth a lot. Also, as a primarily java programmer, I find what c programmers think is a descriptive variable name is a lot different than what I think is a descriptive variable name, but that's a personal issue.
