On: Creating a search engine with PostgreSQL

[0xbadcafebee]

HN has fads like everything else. If this were 10 years ago they'd be asking about MongoDB. 5 years ago they'd be asking if the Blockchain could power their search engine. Now they want an AI search engine.

Sqlite has nothing to do with AI searching in the way I think you're suggesting.

It was not designed for "AI usage" or as a "AI database"

SQlite is from 2000 and is more comparable to a single file postgres/mysql database.

It's also on literally billions of devices including whatever you're reading this on.

Tech that has stood the test of time is the opposite of a fad.

I feel like MongoDB was on the wane even 5 years ago.

Also, the interest may not have all been…organic.
