SQLite Broken

Sorry, was just being cheeky like the weavster, advertising in a thread:):):)

Posted an update to my library book manager if you want to download and take a look at for examples. It's pretty (that's a miracle for me), uncomplicated, wrapperless and it works.

Wonder if I can convince the weavster to try it with his server as us unemployed types can't spend money right now.

Okay, I am now on the floor and howling with laughter (and with the evil grin firmly in place)

I may be persuaded to make it available as a freebie to PureBasic users.

I thought about adding a program parameter telling the server to listen and hide plus a control code that tells it to shut down, this would make it better for local use.

What do you think?

I was just playing with you:):):)

As for the above, I can see where an sqlite server might be useful. When I was into writing server applications, everything was MySQL but I didn't see the sense in using something so big for family use so dropped the whole idea. Then I saw that there was a free Sqlite server out in the wild, it got sold to Realbasic right at the time I was getting interested again and they embedded it into their code and made it expensive.

Now I'm back to writing loads of tools for the family and friends (no sleep) and can see that a queuing sever application would be better than what I am doing now. I have 15 applications that would benefit from having some sort of server access for all my family/friends to access.

Sounds like a useful bit of software.

It's only ordinary SQLite that's embedded in REALbasic, their Server is still in beta and the pricing hasn't been announced yet.

Their server only works the same way as mine, queueing requests and dealing with them one at a time. Having said that it will enable you to set permissions at a table level where as mine it's just for the entire database.
