Directly access Zotero via SQLite #13

Closed crsh closed 6 years ago

crsh commented 7 years ago

I suspect that direct access to the Zotero database via SQLite will greatly improve the speed of the database connection and may enable access to group libraries (#9). It would also remove the dependency on BetterBib(La)Tex for the Zotero integration.

That would be great as BetterBib(La)TeX is not (yet) compatible with Zotero version 5 (retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex#555) !

retorquere commented 7 years ago

You can only access the Zotero DB directly when Zotero is not running. It's trivial to make a plugin that would allow running queries on a running Zotero over HTTP though -- this could be used as-is or tweaked easily.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it more closely as soon as I get a chance.

(WRT BBT it's at this time more accurate to say that it's not feature-complete rather than not being compatible BTW; BBT for Z4 is not compatible with Z5 and cannot be given the extensive changes between Z4 and Z5, but BBT for Z5 is of course compatible with Z5)

As pointed out above, it doesn't look like it's possible to access the database if Zotero is running. As of late, access to group libraries can be achieved via BBT.
