Can i use SQLite in a mod ?
It would simplify a lot my mod (Mint & Automatic Selling Machine),
because i need to calculate the stack exchange prices of all items, so i need a log of all transactions.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

You can create your own format annd save/load using Lua's I/O routines.
If you really intend to use SQLite, you may be able to load a native lib wrapper, but that requires a bit more work, and users must compile the library for their particular system. This is how my IRC mod (look at my sig) works.

I believe lua:io wont cut.
Thats because everytime a player uses a machine, a log entry should be added to a database.
Then it should (once a day) sum all sells/buts per item kind.
then write the result to another table.
in order to build a monthly graph (png) of the medium sell/buy price of items.
I believe thats too heavy for lua. You can do that efficiently using sqlite3. Thats why i want to use lua:sqlite3...
