Dumb questions: if BedRockDB has all of these huge benefits over using stock-SQLite, why hasn't SQLite merged in all of the changes into SQLite? Why does BedRockDB have to exist as a separate fork?
- nbevans 7y agoI think it is because the changes are, currently, considered esoteric and slightly experimental in the sense they want to reserve the right to make breaking changes to them. SQLite has a relatively slow cadence when it comes to things like this. Other reasons may be that they're still working on the tests to validate and support those features - as well as documentation. I am hopeful BEGIN CONCURRENT and WAL2 will make it into the amalgamation at some future date.
- rogerbinns 7y ago> SQLite has a relatively slow cadence They intend to support it till 2050 - https://sqlite.org/lts.html https://sqlite.org/lts.html - which includes keeping file format and API backwards compatibility. That accounts for the more careful decision making since things added now have to be supported for another 30 years.
