I understand how this improves installation, and i think it's fine to require it for installation, however I think that it should be optional after installation. Dmitri On Feb 4, 2009, at 4:28 PM, Moshe Weitzman wrote:
So I am still -1 on requiring SQLite in order for Drupal to function. However, I am leaning more and more toward automatically using it if available.
Stop. Read. We only get the primary benefit (code cleanliness) if we *require* SQLite. There is no point in doing this half-way. If you know of web hosts where Drupal would no longer work, please take the challenge at http://drupal4hu.com/node/177. So far, no such place is known.
Also, Lets stop talking about deployment. chx solved that (no code yet). Apache would write SQLite file when it needs to. Site admins can be oblivious.
