+// This is a driver for better-sqlite3. It may be interesting to use it instead
+// of node-sqlite because it breaks all the time when we try to compile any app.
+// The performance improvement probably won't matter.
+//
+// The issue however is that better-sqlite3 uses the option SQLITE_DQS=0, which
+// disallows using double quotes around strings, and that's what we're using
+// everywhere. So the only way to make it work would be to do a custom
+// compilation, as described there, and set SQLITE_DQS=1:
+//
