I agree as well. We are upgrading a large, old application originally
written almost 20 years ago. The additional time necessary for
the most elegant solution can be very expensive. PCs today are
powerful and cheap. The end user does not care if there is another
layer inside, he only wants the application to work. Some of our
customers are very small where SQLite, with its one database file
and no administration required, is perfect. Many customers will
insist that we connect to their corporate database servers. Robert's
wrapper should make this possible with minimal fuss.

Actually I'd say he gave a great explanation of why the wrapper approach is
so important. Robert went through all the work to make SQLite perform in a
scenario compatible with many other databases so now the users of his
wrapper don't have to.
Saying not to use wrappers when programming in straight C and using only
SQLite is one thing, but of course when developing in any other language or
when supporting multiple databases wrappers are essential (all of our
applications are in .NET and some support both SQLite and MSSQL). We would
never have considered using SQLite for our product if it wasn't for Robert's
SQLite.NET wrapper.
