100 MB? Come on, this isn't that "BIG".... > It seems that compressing an SQLite database is very efficient. Is there > any way to compress/decompress a whole database on the fly ? Well, you could license the CEROD extension, see http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/cerod.html If this is too expensive for you, you could think about using the compression techniques built into your operating system. So you could use the compression of NTFS-Filesystems to use compression on the fly (you can compress individual files and don't need to compress a complete drive or directory). But check the performance! Hey... as I'm thinking about that this would be something usefull... an extension to the function sqlite3_open_v2(F,D,G,0): The third paramater could get a flag named "SQLITE_OPEN_COMPRESSED" - this would create the file "ntfs-compressed" if it doesn't exist....
