SQLite database interface
chx - November 19, 2004 - 23:07
I am happy to introduce the first test version of this. You may download it from http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/sandbox/chx/. Alter table implementation will come from http://code.jenseng.com/db/ but I've not made it yet. The database is based upon the latest database.mysql.
Does this imply PHP5 functionality too?
SQLite is part of the PHP5 distribution.
Does this mean we have a version of Drupal that works with both SQLite and PHP5? Or does one have to custom build PHP to include SQLite at the moment?
I've used PHP4
As I mention in the README.txt, I've used PHP4. As far as I know, there is no sanctioned PHP5 version of Drupal, but there is a thread about it.
I know that at the moment this limits the usefulness of this SQLite layer, but by the time it will get into the core, Drupal will be PHP5 compatible, I am pretty sure of that... Meanwhile, interested parties still may test it.
And there is no difference between the PECL and the PHP5 SQLite function except maybe sqlite_fetch_object, but that is just a technicality, (object)sqlite_fetch_array serves well.
