This is a one-off to control one particular feature (table reordering) of the optimizer. Is it likely that in the future, perhaps as the optimizer grows more complex and featurful, that programmers will want to be able to give further such directives or hints to the optimizer? If the answer is yes, then maybe it would make more sense to provide an actual syntax or language for giving SQLite such hints, probably by embedding them into specially formatted SQL comments (which is Oracle's approach). -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/
