Another reason for the X convention is about reputation and credit, like with trademarks. The reason is for being able to distinguish at a glance between official components made by or endorsed by the creators of the core project, from those by third parties that are not endorsed; by default, e

The main reason for the X system is "A giant project that might potentially use all sorts of different names wants full control of this namespace, so don't trample on anything that might be a problem later." That isn't really the case here, the of all the different options SQLiteX can probably be

I would vote for "SQLite::" ; the fact that there are already some modules in that namespace does not prevent people from creating new modules; on the contrary. The DBD::SQLite:: namespace is specific for the driver, so I wouldn't recommend using that one. Finally, one could think of "SQLiteX:

As there're already several applications in the SQLite:: namespace, it might be better to use (DBD::?)SQLite::Extension:: for the ones to be loaded via load_extension(), and (DBD::?)SQLite::Module:: (or whatever) for the ones that adds a customized callback etc. Kenichi On Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:52:

2009-08-14 Thread Adam Kennedy
Now that we've got a number of integration points available for feeding code into SQLite's internals, I'm wondering if we should consider some form of blessed or recommended namespace for people to write these extensions in. Are we just going to recommend SQLite:: or does anyone have alternatives?

As a Makefile.PL, we aren't really supposed to be able to know how DBI is implemented, or how it got there. We're just asking for the API. I agree with the compiler feature point though, the errors we're getting are mostly about no cc command at all. Maybe we can just pull something similar to Mo

Hi. 1) We can rather easily see if a compiler exists or not, but I think it too much to test if the compiler has some feature or not. And, as DBI we require also requires a working compiler, (false) unknown is not so bad (why do they have DBI when they don't have a compiler? - probably they instal
