Ruslan, you might need to include some information about why someone might prefer to learn the Valentina API (accessible from V4REV) by citing some features of Valentina that are superior or unavailable in sqlite e.g. encryption, full-text searching (I'm not sure if the latter has been enabled

Hi Monte, The callbacks that Paul mentions in his reply is one thing - would be great to be able to display some sort of progress messages during a lengthy db operation. But seems like that might be a problem according to Paul. I guess I've come across several niggling issues in the last few

Hi Paul, Yes the callbacks are certainly one of the things I want to get access to but you're raising doubts as to how feasible that might be. But there are other things too. I guess the first thing I'm trying to ascertain is if it will be possible to call the C API's directly from LC or if

From: Pete I guess the first thing I'm trying to ascertain is if it will be possible to call the C API's directly from LC or if there will have to be some intermediate external glue that sits between LC and the SQLite C API. I haven't written an external since Rev 3.5, but I don't think

Would something like SWIG help with the construction of LC externals? I confess to not knowing anything about externals, and almost nothing about C. But I've used some products which are cross-platform and provide interfaces in many different languages. At their base they use SWIG (or something
