[RDBO] SQLite ATTACH supported by RDB/RDBO?

2007-03-16 Thread Fred Cox
We have a fairly large 3rd party database (850MB) which we'd like to keep pure, because it can be updated weekly by the vendor. We also have data we maintain that references the 3rd party data. Ideally, I would like to have RDB know to ATTACH the second database and treat the two files as one. >

[RDBO] set default DateTime format for stringification

2007-03-16 Thread Peter Karman

I guess I'm just spoiled by other languages sometimes. A certain MS Java ripoff language can do transactions over an entire 'app domain'. So any db call, to any db, multiple dbs, and file actions, or anything that "supports transactions" act as part of one global transaction automatically, without
