[postmodern-devel] porting Postmodern to SQLite

Marijn,

I was talking with a friend about Submarine and Postmodern and he
complained about the fact that Postmodern (and thus Submarine) are
PostgreSQL specific. I agreed that this is a shame: for some smaller
projects Postgres is a bit overkill and you may want to use something
smaller, like SQLite.

You write in your docs that "...postmodern has no intention of being
portable across different SQL implementations (it embraces
non-standard Postgres features)." What do you mean by that? Is there
anything Postgres specific outside of CL-POSTGRES? How difficult do
you think it would be to port Postmodern to SQLite? (And: how long did
it take to write CL-POSTGRES?)

Cheers,
