Comment on Why You Shouldn't Use SQLite

Comments

SQLite works great when used correctly. E.g. if you split metadata and blobs into different tables, it'll be super fast even without any indexes. Real life example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39793805 Pack archive format, which is magic byte to distinguish as separate format + sqlite database + zstd compression for data chunks. Inside there are no indexes, three tables - file info (like name), with proper parent_id logic, data chunks and relationship between these two.
