[sqlite] Re: Version 3 design issue: Keep the COPY command?

[Darren Duncan]

I still think that COPY should be removed from the core, and it can 
be emulated by a wrapper or shell.  Such a wrapper or shell 
functionality can still be bundled with SQLite, but it would be 
physically separate and those who don't want it can exclude it easily.

As for VACUUM, that may be a different case.  If it functions by 
rebuilding an entirely new database file, then that could also be a 
wrapper function.  Moreover, if that's the case, then perhaps it 
should be renamed to REBUILD DATABASE, which would more accurately 
describe what it is doing.  If VACUUM functions by editing the 
current database file in place, then it should probably be built in 
instead.
