SQLean (sqlite standard library)

I really like sqlite. It’s a miniature embedded database, perfect for both exploratory data analysis and as a storage for small apps (I’ve blogged about that previously).

It has a minor drawback though. There are few built-in functions compared to PostgreSQL or Oracle. Fortunately, the authors provided an extension mechanism, which allows doing almost anything. As a result, there are a lot of SQLite extensions out there, but they are incomplete, inconsistent and scattered across the internet.

I wanted more consistency. So I started the sqlean project, which brings the extensions together, neatly packaged into domain modules, documented, tested, and built for Linux, Windows and macOS. Something like a standard library in Python or Go, only for SQLite.
