I'll point out that all of your problem is addressed by open source whereas an external library only addresses part. You could do whatever you want with open source. I refuse to put things into mission critical without source unless support is also purchased with it. Michael D. Black

On the 3rd hand (Medusa here) those of us involved in mission critical apps refuse to let people arbitrarily update packages that are part of the "system". Things like the bug introduced in 3.7.12 being a prime example. It's called "Configuration Control". Some apps may depend on updated

Hi, > I approve of your translation. That interpretation concerns the relative merits of using the separate sources vs the amalgamation, if I understand correctly. Barring special circumstances, the use of the amalgamation is the preferred way; that is understood. What I was wondering is

That page appears to specifically be in regards to compiling SQLite from sources. It means, don't use the individual files, but use the amalgamation because it's a lot simpler to deal with. How you compile it, or in what form the compiled object is used is not mentioned. -Original
