Impressive!<p>I also love using SQLite for testing compiler optimization passes. Their TCL test suite coverage is quite good. Unfortunately, I think you have to splurge tens of thousands of dollars to get the C-based test suite. I believe you can only test full branch coverage with the C test suite.
The problem with SQLite is that there's no official RFC, it's a pseudo database.<p>When you're weighing up what to implement, it certainly helps when there is an agreed upon technical specification.
