move from text file DB to more manageable data store

I believe we decided on using a sqlite database by default and then later allowing the user to plug into any database.

My stress tests indicate that we're probably going to be fine with a flat file until we reach ~1 million names. Then, we need to seriously look at a database. Sqlite would probably work until we reach into the billions.

OK how about we plan on switching to sqlite next (whenever necessary)?

I think we can add SQLite support for the next version and flag this issue with the next release, which reminds me that what release numbers are we using? The last released version was blockstore-0.0.3 and @jcnelson and I have also been calling this release "1.0". It might make sense to call it v0.1.0 since this is the first production release and we will not be changing the genesis block after this release.

This is present in the develop branch, but will need to be sync'ed with the new stable release.

Nice!

[jcnelson]

This will be available in 0.14.

Ha awesome this issue is from Dec 5, 2014. Excited for SQL :D

[jcnelson]

Been working on it off and on since I joined :)

[muneeb-ali]

@jcnelson next release meaning v0.14 correct? As in this is already done?

[jcnelson]

Yup! Closing this issue.
