Coming back to try again after a long absence - a couple of questions

[Chris Green <cl isbd net>]

Back in 2012 I think it was I tried glom and found it didn't quite do
what I wanted.  However I'm probably looking for something different
now and also glom has moved on.

So, a couple of initial questions about how it uses databases.  I know
that back in 2012 my major issue with glom was that it used postresql,
it still does but things seem to have changed a bit.

I have installed glom on my xubuntu 15.10 system and tried some of the
examples, these seem somehow to work with local files rather than a
database server.  Can I get it to work the same way with my own
databases (i.e. ones I have created myself with glom)?  Will these
databases be compatible with any other software or are they specific
glom format?

Presumably if I install a postgresql server then glom can use that and
share the databases with other programs. Yes?

Finally what is the status of sqlite3 in glom?  Has the code been
maintained at all?  Can I build from source with the sqlite3 support
and expect it to work?
