TIL. Thank you very much.
I always wanted to invest more time in postgres, but I just find the Windows environment to be clunky when working with it. Like psql isn't supported in a windows environment (last time I check few months ago), and setting up the postgres environment on WSL was quite annoying as you have to figure out port forwarding.
I know setting up a postgres on a local machine directly or even without docker may not be a mature decision, but that is the hacky reason, why I keep going back to sqlite, as it is the easiest solution to get started with a database.
- winrid 4y agoIf you're using an IDE, many have DB browsers built right in (all jetbrains IDEs for ex). But hey, nothing wrong with easy, usually. :)
- anyfactor 4y agoI honestly started with CSV files and google sheets as my database! People think I am joking but Google Sheet is a zero setup always on database and the API is friendly for basic operation. Also you have built-in version control. Once I started to feel limited by google sheets, I upgraded to SQLite. I will invest in postgres once I hit the ceilling with SQLite.
