As I mentioned in other comments, it's not an replacement for SQLite or any other database engine. I created this script for my own needs and shared it because it may be useful for other developers.

Yeah, and I mentioned, I appreciate anyone contributing to open source so I actually feel a little bad being critical. I was just wondering what the use case is. Especially since Sqlite3 is installed by default (probably also on shared hosts) and has the same requirements (all it needs is the ability to read and write a file).

Aside from that, I'm leery of Hacker News being a place where brand new open source contributions gets submitted (regardless of quality). There are other places for that.
