SQLite?

Post by parry60 »

Since PHP5 is going to include SQLite by default, are there any plans to incorporate an SQLite extension to the phpBB 2.1 DBAL?

Hope there will be a mysql to sqlite converter or importer of some sort.

BTW, great looking beta! Looks really improved and i like the new subforums plus the redirect to URLs forums.

There really is no need for one. Just simply backup your database data. Install phpBB v2.2 then restore your data.

What advantages come of using SQLite in this case, v. MySQL? Can SQLite handle the same stresses, or more? I've just not heard of SQLite until now, and have no idea as to how capable it is.

SQLite is well, Lite. It lacks several features. I haven't seen any benchmarks, so I can't comment on that, though.

Actually it lacks very very little ... in many ways it's standard SQL feature set is superior to MySQL. It's called "lite" because it is a self-contained "server/client".

As I've noted before for boards where there are few simultaneous users it will likely provide a fairly robust solution. However, for busier boards the file I/O will probably "wreck" performance ... this is where a dedicated server daemon comes into its own.

I'm thinking that it would be a pain to MOD, due to lack of ALTAR TABLE commands, but I won't try to MOD it until it is done :P
