Dear Khaled,

I'm curious what it would take to add a proper SQL implementation to mIRC today, naively, not an external DLL and slow helper-script. It seems a lot of software frivolously adds an SQL engine without much overhead. Ie, SQLite is completely embedded and only half a megabyte compiled; +10% overhead for mIRC. I'm wondering if this topic could be visited.

I think for you, it could help you manage things like the IAL and banlists much more efficiently, and for scripts, it would enable us to do a lot of nifty things that hash tables simply cannot -- like summing columns of data. You might even have fun implementing it.


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!

Since you're going there, I use CryptUnprotectData to decrypt data stored in SQLITE_BLOB. If that could be built in somehow, to remove need for external crypt dll where binvar passing is terrible.

Unrelated, a simple suggestion to support flags in the open call (SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY et al)
