Add Spatialite as a provider? #115

Open donnyv opened 7 years ago

donnyv commented 7 years ago

Have you thought about possibly using Spatialite as a provider? Its pretty close to PostGIS.

@donnyv we have been considering supporting Spatialite as a data provider. The main hurdle right now is the lack of a good pure Go Spatialite drive. We're trying to keep tegola pure Go so deployment and distribution are contained to a single binary + config. There is an SQLite driver which uses cgo that I believe supports loading extensions. There is also the go-spatialite package but I have not had a chance to explore it.

Have you played with either of them?

I come from the C# world, so I didn't even think about available GO drivers. I can see how that is an issue.

I wonder if you could just use the sqlite.exe and just send commands to it? I know in C# that's pretty easy but not sure how that works in GO.

@donnyv well as things go, there happens to be a Go SQLite package in the works. Let's keep an eye on that project and see how it develops.
