Meetings

Main Topic: SQLite - Al Danial

Al Danial will present SQLite at the May LAMPsig meeting. Having used SQLite for over a year he has found many reasons to recommend this database engine. The presentation will include an overview of SQL, a comparison of SQLite to conventional client/server database programs like MySQL and Postgres, and demos using the command line and Perl and C bindings.

SQLite is included in PHP5 and is a simple, totally open alternative to other databases. This makes it ideal for developement environments.
