The world's most widely deployed database engine (SQLite) is only available as a library.
- tlarkworthy 6y agoThe worlds most trafficked database is probably Google search* index and its not sqlite and it's certainly distributed. * Maybe Facebook, I dunno, the point stands.
- tosserup478 6y agoModern browsers all use sqllite, so more than 90% of user accessing that index are doing through an app using sqllite. Lot’s of things come with sqllite without you knowing about it
- tlarkworthy 6y agoGood point, though the Google index users are 1. the google search users AND 2. the machine crawlers who crawl webpages no-one visits. I am not sure the human users of the index are the majority. Admittedly this is a fairly pedantic point.
