Is anybody using or planning to use the SQLite 
database with Squeak ? (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/)

>From the page:

SQlite is a C database engine in a small C library.
Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database 
access without running a separate RDBMS process. 

Features:
- Implements a large subset of SQL92. 
- A complete database (with multiple tables and indices) is stored in 
  a single disk file. 
- Atomic commit and rollback protect data integrity. 
- Small memory footprint: less than 20K lines of C code.
- Four times faster than PostgreSQL
- very simple C/C++ Interface requieres the use of only three functions
  and an opaque structure
- Build and tested under Linux and Win2000
- Source are uncopyrighted. Use for any purpose.

Could this be the base for platform independent common squeak database ?

Bye
