Windows Support

[gedw99]

Am I admit a Little bit confused where fuse is used or why . I am guessing it’s sort of a virtual file System .

my question is .. can I run this all on windows ?

The project seems very cloud centric and I was hoping it can also work on plain desktops too .

cheers

hey @gedw99. You're correct, FUSE is used as a virtual file system layer so that users don't need to manually include it as a VFS in SQLite. We do have plans for adding a VFS option (#165) so Windows support could be possible after that's implemented.

The project is mostly cloud-centric but the VFS option would let people query against their data in the cloud from their local machine.

Thanks @benbjohnson

Makes sense now ..

I think I have to go down the duckdb path instead for now. It’s still unstable but has different data storage architecture.

I need to check if many db instances can use a s3 layer . Not sure yet .. so you get the Scale out and the HA and DR is sorted as it is always on s3.
