sorry, I couldn't decide what to leave

I believe I'm taking a _very_ different angle

My proposal was:

step 1:

refer to the normal DB, as it is now

step 2:

should that fail, use the huge one


The integrity/synch problem should be easy to address:

* If the data in the first DB is more recent, it will be found 
  during 1)
* whenever the large DB is re-loaded, the smaller one can
 be refreshed (the time should be anyway acceptable _and_ 
 it can be done when the device is unused, so it doesn't 
 have to be lightning fast)


Sorry if I'm blindly ignoring all the discussion about UNION etc,
but I have the feeling that it is based on some requirement that
has not been formulated addressing what are acceptable
compromises from overall usability perspective.

I do not know if there are other reasons why what I describe cannot be
realistically implemented, but I would be quite happy if I could have
something like that as an option.

After all when I consult the physical white/yellow pages I do accept that
they are not always up-to-date.

cheers, igor
