>SQLite as a library is amazing, SQLite as a spec for a standard web API is not. >The issue is not just that there wasn't a competing implementation at the time, it is that you could not feasibly create a competing implementation. The set of features supported by SQLite is _massive_. And even you stick with SQLite, which version? And which extensions? Which features do you remove because they're not safe or not applicable for web? This seems like a case of perfect being the enemy of good.
