Yeah, but arguably more importantly is that there is a MySQL library in the
archive. MySQL is much more popular than SQLite. SQLite wrappers are important
but not every webhost supports SQLite databases but almost all have MySQL.

Sadly, we don't have a PostgreSQL library yet (which in my case is the most
important since my job uses it). Once we get that all the popular SQL databases
will be covered so there'll be no reason not to use Euphoria for database
programming.
