No, SQLite is WAY too weak for any real building and scripting. The main reason I went with MySQL is because if using the SQLite you do not have what is called "persistence."<br><br>For example, with the internal SQLite, if you put on a new skin and clothing, when you shutdown and restart OpenSim you return to the default Ruth and have to put your skin, clothing, and shape, etc back on EVERY time you restart.<br>
<br>But with MySQL all those settings are preserved, so you can log out, reboot the system even, and when you load everything back up and log in, your skin, shape, clothing, etc are all instact just as you left them when you were last logged in.<br>
<br>That is just one of several reasons why MySQL is superior to SQLite, in my humble opinion...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 1:25 PM, Dirk Krause <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dirk.krause@pixelpark.com">dirk.krause@pixelpark.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
But wouldnt it be easier to have the low-end sqlite if it's supposed to be portable (as in very standalone)?<br>

Betreff: Re: [Opensim-users] Making Viewer Portable<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
Actually I missed that! I followed a few links from there and found exactly<br>
the information I was looking for (I think). I'll try and test it all out<br>
this afternoon and see if it's as stated.<br>
<br>
BTW, for those interested, I discovered that if I install XAMPP (<br>
<a href="http://www.apachefriends.org" target="_blank">www.apachefriends.org</a>) I can run MySQL from a thumb and configure OpenSim to<br>
use MySQL using the standard information found various places online. This<br>
way I can insure that even my "external" MySQL database can easily be backed<br>
up along with OpenSim.<br>
<br>
To make things even easier, I downloaded the Portable Apps launcher base (<br>
<a href="http://portableapps.com/download" target="_blank">http://portableapps.com/download</a>) and then installed XAMPP linked from the<br>
same site along with the XAMPP launcher. The only things that would really<br>
make my day (and I am currently working on accomplishing this) is to launch<br>
OpenSim and the viewer of choice from the Portable Apps launcher so that<br>
OpenSim, the MySQL database and the Viewer can all be launched directly from<br>
a thumb drive and all data saved to it as well.<br>
<br>
