Please be nice.
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.
