any #sqlite developers out there? I would like to talk to you about drivers.
-
@musicman Probably not, but there may be a #JDBC driver for #SQLite on the SQLite.org site, along with #ODBC. Drivers are less necessary there, because the database software (in this case, the SQLite C library) is usually embedded within the application.
-
We were specifically asked about supporting drivers. I told sales we needed more information from the customer and they said we could talk about it next week. I suspect my research will be the only research that has been done, for a variety of reasons. We were able to say yes to a lot of the ask, so I just don't think this is particularly high on the priority list.
Sometimes, we do talk about the risk, but we don't really like to take that into consideration because then we can leave ourselves exposed if we are wrong. What I mean is that the risk of getting tickets about this is probably pretty low given what you cite, but we don't get in the habit of saying we can do something just because we probably won't have to.
There is a JDBC driver on github, but I don't even know that. I literally just know "drivers". I think I have enough if it comes up again to back up what I said last time: we need more information from the customer.

and I probably should have been more clear...looking for people using sqlite in their dev work, not the actual devs of the project. I want to know some of the stuff surround driver usage like what you were saying about it being embedded in the application.

Oh, yes. I'm pretty sure that #JDBC driver is produced by someone external to the #SQLite project. I've used it before (using #SquirrelSQL to look at a database) and it seemed okay.
