*** 184,187 **** Sqlite is finally a database product that values performance and minimal footprint (disk and memory) above a trashcan strategy that would add whatever feature to make the result so-called 'feature rich', say, a bloated piece of software. Therefore, I would vehemently reject all additions listed above, except for one. It's quite difficult to obtain the result for a correlated 'NOT EXISTS' subquery in any alternative way; which is the choice way to determine a subset of data that doesn't satisfy criteria contained in another table. ! -- Are you calling Oracle 'a bloated piece of software'?. LOL. I would love to see a comparison of Oracle and SQLite (latest stable or bleeding edge SQLite version Vs Oracle 10g). I would love it. Anyway, SQLite seems a lil' database engine for lil' works. Sorry, not enough for me :). --- 184,187 ---- Sqlite is finally a database product that values performance and minimal footprint (disk and memory) above a trashcan strategy that would add whatever feature to make the result so-called 'feature rich', say, a bloated piece of software.
