Re: SQL and other databases

A main difference (especially coming from LiveCode) is that you do not need to type the columns in SQLite. this means you can just dump anything anywhere, similar to how you can put any kind of data into any container in LiveCode. For mySQL, one would always need to do a lot more of sanitising,

Joe is giving you tough love. Check out the "offset" command as well as the "find" command. Note the "chars to skip" parameter. Read about the "foundChunk". If you are really into it, and you should be, try to find several different ways to accomplish your task. Craig Newman -Origina

I mean that sqLite is just a file on the local hard drive. If they were benchmarking mySQL running locally, I guess it's sort of the same thing, but mySQL still uses the networking protocols right? I mean you have to connect via localhost or the IP of the local machine, so it's still using netwo

Not sure what you mean by "file based". Seems perfectly fair to me if I'm comparing using SQLite and MySQL on my local computer. I'm not recommending one above the other, just pointing out what I've read. As with any software, you should use what works best for your application. Pete Haworth
