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 generated sqlite database from sql code;
|
|
|
|
|
3. Write sql code; and
|
|
|
|
|
4. Drinks for all when finished!
