Hi, Ovidiu!<br>
<br>
May I segue into discussing some questions that have been puzzling me <br>
for a while now?<br>
<br>
"In 2020, why should developers choose DB TEXT over DB SQLITE? <br>
Shouldn't DB TEXT be obsoleted?"<br>
<br>
As far as history goes, it seems DB TEXT was created by Daniel in 2003. <br>
Which, in my opinion, even for that time, it seems like a "reinvent the <br>
wheel" kind of effort, since SQLite had already been GA'ed for almost 3 <br>
years [1].<br>
<br>
In order to come up with an answer, we can break down my original questions:<br>
<br>
* DB TEXT and SQLite both aim to be lightweight, serverless, file-based <br>
SQL databases with RAM caching. True or false?<br>
* does DB TEXT have any features that SQLite doesn't?<br>
* does DB TEXT support a richer SQL syntax than SQLite?<br>
* does DB TEXT have less bugs than SQLite?<br>
* does DB TEXT handle in-memory caching better than SQLite?<br>
* does DB TEXT handle disk files better than SQLite?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for the discussion!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
