 * I consider the fact that the coders of this module require the presence of the
   PDO_SQLITE module on the server, to be wrong.
 * Why not simply use the native sqlite module, which is not tied to PDO ?
   What’s
   wrong with that one ?On a regular shared hosting, having PDO_SQLITE turned on
   can be a PITA, while the “regular” sqlite extension is almost always present,
   so why not use that one ?
 * I’m just sayin…

 * Hi [@eragonsoftware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eragonsoftware/). My
   understanding is that PDO_SQLITE is used in the plugin in order to use SQLite
   as a drop-in replacement for a MySQL compatible database that WordPress expects
   using the consistent PDO interface.
 * If you are aware of ways to do this without the PDO extension, please feel free
   to share a suggestion in[ the GitHub repo](https://github.com/WordPress/sqlite-database-integration)
   where this plugin is developed.
