The latest Mozilla Thunderbird uses SQLite databases for just about everything and constantly I see the statusbar saying "re-indexing XXX". As mentioned earlier, even for managing something as trivial as bookmarks. Luckily my Quad Core just powers through all that re-indexing that now occurs, so I don't notice it that much. Your last statement is 100% correct though. Unfortunately not everybody seems capable of making the right choice. :) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
