Folks, For what it's worth at one point the FDO guys, and EvenR and I on behalf of GDAL/OGR tried to nail down details of how to use Sqlite as a geodatabase and we hoped in way that was interoperable with SpatialLite. I'm not exactly clear on the state of things now. I know that the OGR Sqlite driver will now try and use spatialite functions including the spatial index if available. I'm not sure if it still works properly against spatialite databases without actually having spatiallite linked in. My *ambition* was a well specified schema in Sqlite so that apps could depend on it for interoperability with or without having spatiallite available. However the spatialite project didn't seem to want to get tied down to something stable and I lost interest. I still like the idea of sqlite as a geodatabase but I haven't the fortitude to advocate strongly for how I think it ought to work.
