Database Engine

Hi all,

Can I ask why SQLite was not considered for a Database engine for TV Server?

Their engine is a lot smaller and could be distributed with the installation.

This site explains that a client/server configuration can be set up.

There is also a .net wrapper for the database engine.

If not using this method then surely the TV Server itself could become the database server to communicate with the SQLite database.

I bring these points up as a lot of users who are fans of the server aren't fans of the installation of MS SQL/ MySQL

i can not tell you the technical details why SQlite was not used because i am not a developer.
all i know was that the reason is related to the client-server setup.

the TV-Server will still use MS/My SQL in the near future.
for MP2 this will mostlikely be changed.

SQLlite is not well suited for a multi-user environment.
