gollark: SQLite is a great embedded database engine which runs in the same process (so no connecting needed), and stores all its data in one file.
gollark: Though in fairness PHP would probably mess up the SQL use somehow.
gollark: `INSERT INTO messages VALUES (?, ?)` is much neater than some horrible mess of file handling.
gollark: It has different ones, but not directory traversal ones - I wasn't paying much attention and thought it used nickname in the filename.
