in thread Get unique fields from file

so this is really just an exercise for our own edification and enjoyment.

So let me just enjoy some more light quibbling:

Hipp, SQLite-man extraordinaire:

"SQLite was a spin-off of postgres, a conceptual fork"

"We continue to look up at postgres as our mentor"

(which makes sense, why invent the wheel? I saw (just a few days ago) that the SQLIte devteam/Hipp are implementing some JSON operators, taking the example from postgres. Good!)

More fun: a youtube talk by Hipp (admittedly talking to a postgres-audience, at PGcon 2014):

    Well....I don't know about the postgres foundation for SQLite...check this interesting story out from Richard Hipp: Origin of SQLite

    My SQL-Foo is weak. OMG this can get complicated!
    As an example, I present jaro-winkler.sql - this is so far above my SQL pay grade, I get a nose bleed just thinking about it!:

    I have a tutorial on postgres that I am slowly working my way through. SQL is a complex subject. Admin of a DB is a complex subject. I have certain tasks that I want to learn how to do in SQL. But this is very much a "work in progress". I am now able to do simple SQL tasks and I have found that the combo of Perl + SQL is super powerful. SQLite is my "go to" DB because there is no admin or installation hassle.

    I like this Hipp quote: "Fortunately, I didn’t know any experts — and so I did it anyway.”
