Genuine question, why does SQLite get so much hate? Is it because it's SQL, or it's embedded, or what? I've used it for a lot of projects where I have to move the server around a lot and it's super convenient
- vlunkr 10y agoI don't know that it gets a lot of hate, it's just generally not considered to be an adequate production server database.
- lillesvin 10y agoHuh? Not sure what you mean but it's not intended as a "server database". It is however used a lot in production as an embedded DB in applications. E.g. I've seen SQLite in lots of Android apps.
- vlunkr 10y agoRight, that's what I mean.
- aptwebapps 10y agoBoth Chrome and Firefox use it for storing history.
- int_19h 10y agoIt's actually perfectly fine for many small server roles, as well.
- lvillani 10y agoSQLite is great! It's just that those of us using it with pleasure don't complain or feel the need to be vocal about how good it is :)
- yellowapple 10y agoSQLite gets a lot of love when it's used for the right job. It's not a replacement for a full-blown RDBMS. If you need a database for a multi-user application, you'll probably be better served by something like PostgreSQL. For single-user applications, however, it's quite fantastic.
