SQLite 2 or 3

I am running Indigo server on 10.4 server, which has no SQLite as part of its install.

I want to install SQLite for the logging feature. I can install v2.8 (easier because its binary) or v3.2.

Is there any reason to install v3 instead of v2?

Thanks.

Re: SQLite 2 or 3

v2 will probably work fine, but you should install darwinports. Then it's just one command to install sqlite3: "sudo port install sqlite3"

http://sqlite3.darwinports.com/

Wiki says "In August 2000, version 1.0 of SQLite was released, based on gdbm (GNU Database Manager). SQLite 2.0 replaced gdbm with a custom B-tree implementation, adding support for transactions. SQLite 3.0, partially funded by America Online, added internationalization, manifest typing, and other major improvements."

Re: SQLite 2 or 3

See the last post in this thread. Leopard/Snow Leopard have SQLite 3 installed so that's what we've tested with.You'll also have to install an upgraded python (2.5) that has SQLite support. This isn't a tested configuration so YMMV.
