[ANN] SQLite/Ruby 2.2.0

SQLite/Ruby 2.2.0 is now available for download. A

Windows binary

version is also available, both as a zip, and as a

gem.

project page:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/sqlite-ruby api docs:

http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org faq: http://sqlite-
ruby.rubyforge.org/faq.html

Only some minor changes this time--mostly some

changes that have

accumulated over the last month. I figured it was

time for a new

release.

* Thanks to Garrett Rooney for his patch that fixes

the compiler

warnings.

* Statement#execute now accepts bind values as

arguments.

* Statement#execute! was added, which returns the

results as an

array, instead of as a ResultSet instance.

Enjoy!

Does it support sqlite3 yet? : -)

Nope. SQLite3 support will be a separate project, since the API's are different.

I've got a start on it, but what with my other projects (Needle and Net::SSH foremost among them, and a few other unreleased ones I'm working on, besides those) it may be a while before I get back to SQLite.

Which brins me to a question. Quick poll: who, if there were a SQLite3/Ruby binding available *right now*, would be using it *right now*? If there is enough demand I could put Net::SSH on hold a bit longer (it's not like it hasn't already languished for 3 months) and get a workable sqlite3 binding out the door.

(Keeping in mind, of course, that AFAIK sqlite3 is still beta, which means that even if I release a binding, the API could, theoretically, change from underneath us.)

Anyone?

i've been following the discussions - it's still seems a bit volitile to spend
all that effort.

kind regards.

I would rather see Net::SSH worked on than SQLite3, especially
considering the unstable status of sqlite 3. Thanks for all your
efforts Jamis.

I would probably not upgrade to SQLite3 this very instance, but that is partially influenced by the fact that I base my stuff on sqlite-ruby-2.* and stuff that also does. My life is controlled more by dependencies than preference.

My comment would be that Net::SSH is infinitely more interesting since SQLite(-ruby) 2 is working and functional. Bets are SQLite 3 may not offer an worthwhile advantage right away (although it probably will down the line).

Just FYI however: As far as I can read the last beta of SQLite was 3.0.6b, and current is 3.0.8. Has anyone run this version and can say how unstable it seems?

Mailing lists confuse me. Often I don't recognize my own posts and I set about writing a flaming reply where I violently disagree. [curne@curnomatic.dk]
