Bug Description
Binary package hint: glom
As far as I know, glom supports sqlite: http://
It would be a great addition if it's built to include such support and lift the postgresql dependency -- or support both options if possible. :)
UPDATE:
Asking for a new package, glom-sqlite to include support for the experimental sqlite backend.

No, I (the Glom upstream maintainer) really don't want this experimental feature to be enabled in regular builds. However, there _should_ be a separate build that can use sqlite.
The reasons are
a) It complicates the UI with an option that the regular user has no interest in. The backend implementation is of no interest to the target users.
b) It complicates the maintenance. We would then have to test with two backends and solve bugs that only exist in sqlite. We have enough problems without that.
c) There is at least one known bug with the sqlite backend: https:/
d) sqlite does not have all the functionality we want, such as network sharing and users/groups access control.
Note that all Glom builds can _use_ sqlite-based .glom files, but only a special build of Glom could _create_ a sqlite-based .glom file.
