Edit: flagged for using "worthless"? It tells us that SQLite has WAL mode and that should be enabled if using it in production.
New version:
I love me some SQLite but that article merely points out that WAL mode is a thing and should be used. Is that really news or valuable to this community?
There was nothing there that actually talked about issues or lessons from working with it.
What did that post tell us about that this one doesn't: https://sqlite.org/wal.html
Edit: instead of drive-by downvotes, what about giving me a counter example that shows that the article is worthy of being on the front page of HN?
I'm copying out 2 points I think are most relevant here:
- Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
- Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Yes my dismissal was shallow, as was the article in question. Here's a more verbose version that should satisfy you?
The article speaks of using SQLite in production but only mentions the existence of WAL-mode and suggests its use. That is general (not production specific) advice that is well known in the community. While the promotion of SQLite is a good thing, I found this article wanting in delivering on what the title suggested.
