SQLite as a document database

I'd like to share with you a very useful article about using the JSON and 'generated columns' features of SQLite for storing scheme-less documents:

SQLite is sssssssoooooooooo powerful! I'm glad that @ab had the envision on it and have chosen it as the foundation as mORMot

Re: SQLite as a document database

I would (also) welcome the implementation of sqlite3-json features. Trying to be future-proof, all my complex objects are stored as json in sqlite3. Would be good to have dedicated json-features for speed-reasons.

Re: SQLite as a document database

The JSON extension (SQLITE_ENABLE_JSON1 conditional) is included in our current static versions of SQLite3.

So you can use those generated columns + JSON directly.
