# Pathfinder 2 Sqlite

This will be a repository for the code necessary to generate a sqlite database
containing the open gaming content for the Pathfinder 2 table-top
role-playing-game system that is available under the Open Gaming License. Pull
requests welcomed!

## Why sqlite? 

It's an open, permissively licensed, and portable single-file database that does
not require setting up a client/server model. It's also likely that the database
will fit into memory easily so performance issues aren't likely to be a problem.
Also, most use cases of this data will likely be read only, so the sqlite
limitations on concurrent writes won't be an issue either.

## Why not JSON? 

Because I'd rather leverage sql's power, than writing internal code to a future
Pathfinder 2 app. Also, because sqlite is pretty much language agnostic at this
point; Pythonistas, Gophers, Rustaceans, and anything in between can access a
sqlite database.

## Roadmap

1. Design schema;
2. Write script to generate sqlite database from sql code;
3. Write sql code; and
4. Drinks for all when finished!
