gollark: Did you know it can do:- full text search- efficient geospatial lookups- multi-terabyte databases- window functions, virtual tables and other nice SQL features- queries involving multiple databases- user-defined functions- recursive table definitions (allowing for accursedness like mandelbrot things)- diffing of databases- small blob lookup faster than the filesystem- JSON queries???!?!?!?!
gollark: SQLite is in fact EXTREMELY based, with a pH in excess of 12.
gollark: I, for one, think it's important to know where bears are before they may become a problem.
gollark: Perhaps the idea of *Macron* is the trojan horse. I have after all been influencing its nonexistence.
gollark: Perhaps it already happened, and you're just hallucinating whilst in GTech™ containment.
