Distributable SQLite files... (Score:1)

by Alias (5735)

OK, so SQLite files are forwards-compatible.

And yet DBD::SQLite keeps upgrading to meet the new versions.

What I've love would be a DBD::PublishableSQLite, so that I could generate SQLite database using oldest version of SQLite compatible with the current version, and then anyone with anything newer could read it.

I thought the only change was to BLOB columns. What are you putting in BLOBs for a gallery application?
Also, I really like Image::Imlib2 for generating thumbnails. Way nicer to use than ImageMagick.

  Oh, I'm not using BLOBs. I just had the confusing situation of DBD::SQLite apparently not recognising a database created by the latest version of the sqlite3 app.
  Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely check out Image::Imlib2.
  Oh, and thanks again for many happy years of YAPI. :)
Maybe use F-Spot? (Score:1)

F-Spot [f-spot.org] has a *very* nice gui for this already. If you could get that to export its information to a database, then you'd have it...
