+# Questions
+
+
+## Why not to run a background Emacs for parsing instead of implement a new parser?
+
+
+### Running a background Emacs progress sounds great, but is still limited. Forwarding all queries to a background Emacs (like org-mode's exporter does) is only feasible with a (??? zaeph can probably fix the answer)
+
+
+## How often does the DB index get updated in order to contain changes within Org files?
+
+
+### Either on save, or on idle-timer.
+
+
+## Did you ever think of opening up (or designing) the SQL DB as a general Org speedup-tool outside of org-roam so that other libraries that do execute complex queries are able to re-use the summarized data?
+
+
+### FYI, see John Kitchin's work, he uses a SQLite database to index his Org files. <https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2017/01/03/Find-stuff-in-org-mode-anywhere/>
+
+-   John's DB approach is great. However, we should not end up using several DB-index in parallel. ;-)+1
+
+
+## Obviously with the 'global backlinks' agenda, it would be interesting to combine with the eev stuff from before :-) ( <https://github.com/edrx/eev> )
+
+
+## about the external program, you could just talk to the PANDOC guys (or Firn [Parses org-files into data structures with Orgize <https://github.com/PoiScript/orgize> ], Logseq [OCaml & Angstrom, for the document parser <https://github.com/mldoc/mldoc> ]), they're very helpful and have already a good org-mode parser
+
+
+## Is it feasible to have this process of parsing org-roam following the LSP protocol? that would allow to be editor agnostic, and it would save the work to define the communication protocol and any other technical details.
+
+
+# Notes
+
+
+## "org-roam just wants to create backlinks"
+
+
+## org-mode has many many files (377 lines in dired&#x2026; including .elc files)
+
+
+## If you want to create an index of all the org files using the native format, it would be very slow. So org-roam uses a sqlite database
+
+
+## ripgrep (written in Rust) is more capable than grep; used by some Zettelkasten
+
+
+## "Is there something we could do to import backlinks into org mode?"
+
+
+## "We've always tried to have an experimental ground where we can track backlinks"
