> They suggest that if the plugin grows to a million plus installations, then it would support the desire for SQLite to be introduced in WordPress core. As of publishing this article, the plugin had 30 installations. This is a poison pill suggestion. I would absolutely switch to SQLite for my blog, but I'm not going to make that commitment using a plugin for something as important and central as the database layer. It's kind of ridiculous to even consider that, to be honest. With a plugin I have to go through the installation process, install the plugin, migrate the data, and then serve my blog. No one is going to do that. With plugins I'd also be scared that I'd be locked out of upgrades in Wordpress if the plugin lagged behind, and I would definitely worry about the plugin being dropped altogether. Those concerns go away completely if it's built right into Wordpress itself. That's on top of the fact that the plugin explicitly states that it's for testing.
