Overview

The SQLite plugin is a community, feature plugin. The intent is to allow testing an SQLite integration with WordPress and gather feedback, with the goal of eventually landing it in WordPress core.

This feature plugin includes code from the PHPMyAdmin project (specifically parts of the PHPMyAdmin/sql-parser library), licensed under the GPL v2 or later. More info on the PHPMyAdmin/sql-parser library can be found on GitHub.

Works great on my low-traffic site
by openletter·9 months ago

I have no other services requiring MySQL/MariaDB, so this option saves me some memory and headache. Have been running for around one year and zero issues, but my site is very simple.

Util para crear sitios de desarrollo
by Alberto Prado·9 months ago

SQlite debería de ser la opción por defecto para WordPress. Es mucho más simple de administrar que mySQL y puede funcionar igual de bien. Este plugin es indispensable para crear un WordPress de desarrollo que solamente necesita PHP para iniciar el servidor sin instalar XAMPP ni otro software.

Great, seems only one step away …
by Gareth Bult·1 year ago

Ok, so in terms of doing what it says in the tin, for me it looks great. I’ve set up 20 – 30 instances, it runs my core plugins and has a footprint of ~ 105M when running with a default setup. Seems to be at least as fast as the MySQL instances sat next to them.

Here’s the problem tho’. It would seem I can’t actually convert any existing sites over to run on these instances without a lot of manual work. (I say this after reading the experiences of some others who claim to have tried).

Are there any relatively automatic tools and/or documentation that I might have missed when it comes to migrating a MySQL instance over to SqLite (and back, in the event of a problem), or at least a Roadmap of if / when such tools or plugins might become available?

A roadmap or estimation might at least (if it’s a long way away) prompt someone to get on and do it?

First start

I added this plugin. WordPress warned me that it would be reinstalled. But now everything is gone.) Will it come back, hopefully?
