node-sqlite3 #7

Closed springmeyer closed 10 years ago

From reading your readme I see that you had trouble installing node-sqlite3. I wanted to let you know that we now have a system in place to provide binaries and so installing no longer requires node-gyp, python, or a compiler. See https://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3/wiki/Binaries for details.

We don't have binaries yet for platforms other than mac, windows, and linux, but there is no reason why we can't eventually provide them for arm/rasp. I can understand if you feel good momentum with the dblite approach and don't want to contribute to node-sqlite3, but wanted to let you know either way.

First of all: thanks for letting me know about that, kinda good news.

The momentum is not just good but close enough, performance speaking, and already usable in every single platform I could test.

SQLite is the most widely used embedded db solution out there and you'll go crazy supporting all possibilities so until that day I am OK with dblite 'cause today I need SQLite in node.

Also you should check the API ... it feels magic, just right, and when node-sqlite3 will work in ArchLinux on sunxi, RPi, and all others, I will probably implement same exact easiness on top of it through this very same module that will check at runtime if node-sqlite3 is present so this won't go anywhere and will actually contribute to provide tests and feedbacks from all platforms not so common so I would not say I don't want to contribute, I simply had a problem, and as developer, found a solution.

When it will be the right time I'll contribute as I can through this module, if that will be possible and performance will be kept as good as these are now.

Great, sounds good. Thanks for the thoughts and I look forward to the idea of combined test suite.
