Sqlite team idolizes backwards compatibility. Which is admirable but at the same time it means we are not getting strong static typing of tables before 2035.
Shame. Even bigger shame is that nobody else is taking the torch.
- hinkley 4y agoThe documentation should focus on the 'best' way to accomplish the goal, reducing the number of people who encounter and repeat the old way. Doing anything else is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yeah of course people are still using the old way, if some of them didn't start using it until after you added the new way.
- simonw 4y agoThey added strong typing of tables a few months ago as an opt-in feature, hence keeping things backwards compatible: https://www.sqlite.org/stricttables.html https://www.sqlite.org/stricttables.html
- pdimitar 4y agoYep, I know. Wish they went even further but it seems like a good start.
