FAQ

What is the purpose of this plugin?

The primary purpose of the SQLite plugin is to allow testing the use of an SQLite database, with the goal to eventually land in WordPress core.

You can read the original proposal on the Make blog, as well as the call for testing for more context and useful information.

Can I use this plugin on my production site?

Per the primary purpose of the plugin (see above), it can mostly be considered a beta testing plugin. To a degree, it should be okay to use it in production. However, as with every plugin, you are doing so at your own risk.

Installed version 2.0 Activated Message: "All checks completed successfully, your site can use an SQLite database. You can proceed with the installation." Screen with text and button. Ok, I can go back by just deactivating this plugin! Great! Clicked button "Install SQLite database" "PDO Driver for SQLite is missing" alone on an blank page, wheverer I go Stuck. My somewhat "well crafted" and sophisticated testing site gone away, it seemed. Why could this plugin not check the availability of this driver before presenting a clickable button, or even proceeding? Since I'm knowledgable enough to delete the ´wp-content/db.php´ file I was soon back to start, so I don't need help. Others, if less knowledable in WP, should be warned and stay away until proper tests can be made before proceeding. On screen instructions on how to manually disable it in an emergency should also be given.
