To add to Tony's comment... Where would you find that the developers and the actual owner of the software would answer questions to newbies? I remember when I started using this software, a complete newbie to SQLite, I asked a bunch of questions and some of them, the first to respond was Dr. Hipp. I also believe that the support in this list is amazing, and also carries some weight as to why folks use SQLite. I have been using computers since 1982 and this is the best software that I have ever used, and the support I have ever received. Yes, I paid for some software also. So, thanks Dr. Hipp and the gang for the wonderful opportunities you, and the gang provide. As we say in Spanish, muchas gracias y que Dios los bendiga.

Necessary but not sufficient. It's free, and the license is as non-restrictive as it is possible to be. Certainly true! However, there are tons of free & liberally licensed software out there, many (most?) of which are failures in terms of public acceptance. So, even these two alone do not seem to be entirely sufficient. But SQLite has one greater attribute. It comes with a proven commitment of EXCELLENT support & maintenance. A true quality product. Bugs are killed practically instantly after being discovered, and new features added on a regular basis. You rarely get this kind of support even from paid software. (Many open source projects have bugs waiting for months or years for someone to be bothered to fix, often driving people away!) To sum it up, a big thanks to Richard and his team! _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
