Dear friends,

Do you think finishing some unfinished projects like IFC SQLite will help and speed up IFC development and implementation or not?
Some say yes and some say no

Would be happy to hear from you,

Kind regards,

ok, letā€™s start with IFC for relational databases.

First of all: why to do this?

For me the benefits of sql based working are

  1. well known data-access (like XML too), no parser required
  2. integrated referencial integrity (not by a seperate test)
  3. typesave in base-types
  4. multiuser functionality (many users can work on the same datapool at the same time)

The points 3) and 4) are - as far as I know - not capabilities of SQLite.
But SQLite could be a possible target for IFC-Data.

It is not only a SQLite-theme.

Object-Oriented is a design pattern, not a programming language.

Object-oriented is not the only valid design pattern. Many programmers have been taught to think purely in terms of objects. And, to be fair, objects are often a good way to decompose a problem. But objects are not the only way, and are not always the best way to decompose a problem. Sometimes good old procedural code is easier to write, easier to maintain and understand, and faster than object-oriented code
