It seems to be the default for developing webapps (coming from the Ruby world) and is just a nice little DBMS to use in any desktop app your happening to write.
I wrote a simple ATS and bug database app the otherday using Ruby Shoes, SQLite, and DataMapper. I just wanted a simple UI for entering bugs, there's only me (at the moment), and I wanted it as a single exe, and I only want Ruby (essentially I'm lazy).
Worked a treat. I think SQLites neato,dead handy for data persistence thats cross platform.
- draegtun 16y agoIts also very popular in the Perl world. The DBD::SQLite (driver) CPAN module even comes packaged with SQLite: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-SQLite/ http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-SQLite/
- watmough 16y agoIt's also available compiled for MIPS and running under a pure Java MIPs emulator for cross-platform Java software. http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/ http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/ If you need a pure-Java solution for a fast SQL database without needing T-SQL or Oracle, it's a great solution.
- draegtun 16y agoOT: I have a cousin who owns/runs an IT Business in Clontarf, Dublin! (Although I see that according to Hackernewsers you're actually based in China).
- dublinclontarf 16y agoI have a fair idea of two buildings(is it the one with African Gold? And if so, do you know Spoof?) they might be in(otherwise it's the one beside the Guardi station). I did live in Clontarf...most of my life until a little over a year ago when I emigrated, because... we'll no work and my wife wanted to come home.
- draegtun 16y agoUnfortunately its not African Gold but it is on the same road! Its been a while since I was in contact with my cousin... so much so that I've only just noticed he's rebranded/rebooted the business (though still at same address): http://www.diaryplan.com/ http://www.diaryplan.com/
