Hi all,<br><br>I'm all with chx on this one, supposing we manage to actually make it works. Main advantages:<br><br>- the registry is local, we don't need to retrieve a big blob of cached data at each request. This is far more efficient for cluster scenarios, (by the way, the same could/should apply to the locale cache, which is currently nearly a 1MB blob of data, fetch from the database server at *each* request)<br>
<br>- the bootstrap process will be simpler and more efficient. Currently, we can't guarantee that users or developpers will not see difficult to debug error messages or exceptions. Our autoloader is just not robust enough, because it has to fetch registry data from the database - hence initialize the database) before anything else.<br>
<br>- we will be able to design database less scenarios. Drupal available right out of the box, with advanced installation profiles. That could lower a lot the barrier to entry of the software.<br><br>Now to more answers:<br>

1. If I am a new Drupal user that just wants to install the thing and do usual stuff will this SQLite issue ever cross my radar? Will I notice it exists? (let's assume that my host setup supports it and I don't have to change anything myself)</blockquote>
<div><br>No. That should be perfectly transparent to you. Just properly configure the files directory and everything will be done for you.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

3. Will it help me save a site if a user messes things up? Will it help with upgrading to a new version of Drupal?</blockquote><div><br>Not really.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
