[Fwd: [Trilug-announce] 11 Feb: SQLite ... A Brief History]

If you are interested in SQLite and/or the evolution of databases, 
please consider attending tomorrow's TriLUG meeting. Our speaker is the 
author of SQLite and I think he's going to have some great insights to 
share. See the forwarded email below for more details.

You may also be interested in tonight's meeting of the Raleigh MySQL/PHP 
Meetup, where they will be discussing SQLite in a far more applied context:

Kind regards,

Fellow TriLUGgers,

We're into February already!  (I know, I know.)  Well, we'll try not to
break your hearts this month as we don't talk about your favorite
database.  Instead, we bring you the /most widely deployed database in
the world/.  Richard Hipp will engage us with a discussion SQLite, a
database with an entirely different approach and end-use sector.

SQLite is a mature, transactional database, whose claim to fame is
embedding.  It's 100% self-contained, serverless, and boasts the largest
deployment of any database out there.

Richard will take us on a whirlwind tour of SQLite's history, the
general database scene today, and predictions for the future.  Read the
pertinent details on our wiki:

  -> "SQLite - A Brief History"

As per usual: this Thursday, 7pm, Red Hat HQ.

Hope to see you there!

Kevin
