SQLite is used in a lot of unconventional settings (for SQL databases) where these settings don't make as much sense. But that's what makes the "edition" useful; it captures the use case we all mean when we're thinking of the "database" lego in an application stack.
- mikepurvis 4mo agoWhile that's true, editions are more about leaving legacy decisions behind while keeping the backward compatibility promise. Even if you're in one of those unconventional settings (say, a bare-metal microcontroller or something), you'd probably still start from edition 2026 and mutate your settings accordingly, rather than using the defaults that are 26 years old.
- tialaramex 4mo agoYeah, that's important. Rust's 2015 edition is worse, not just different from what you'd write today with 2024 edition. There's a clear direction of travel.
- doc_ick 4mo agoSo you’re saying there’s no data to group these settings by editions.
