SQLite support?

I can’t believe nobody requested it before… SQLite is very easy with PHP and I don’t see where’s the problem. It would even make sense to abstract the database logic somehow — and to support at least MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I haven’t purchased Mint just because I can’t run it with SQLite.

What the Problem with MySQL?

I like SQLite very much and use it very often. And abstraction of the database logic is usually a good thing too.

However, I believe, that SQLite would not be the best choice as a Mint database, because it’s performance for heavily updated databases is not as good as for MySQL.

It’s also to mention, that there might be a loss in performance with PDO, the most commonly used data-access abstraction layer.

But I’m glad to see, that there are other SQLite fans out there - I am not alone then…
