Re: [sqlite] Most appropriate Web based database? (Newbie)

2006-04-06 Thread Ed Porter
Hi Len,

The question you are asking is "loaded". Stay with the ansi SQL statements
that SQLite supports and you will be okay. If you need to use the SQLite
extensions now, you will have to write a "translator" in future - not too
difficult. For an experienced programmer (which you will be if the
situation you describe ever comes to pass) the answer is "use SQLite - it
is a no brainer"

Good Luck!

Re: [sqlite] Re: Select with left outer join - Am I going mad or just having a bad day?

2006-03-22 Thread Ed Porter
Hi Ian,

This one has been interesting! I'm trying to repeat the problem with
several different databases - so far no luck. I use SQLite 2.8xx (project
is already ongoing) and will test when I have time. I will post results if
I find anything of value.

Re: [sqlite] Storing text in sqlite vs. external flat file

2004-09-11 Thread Ed Porter
Hi Ken

I found that performance began to fail miserably as the blob size increased
above 500 bytes (has anyone else experienced this problem?). When I posted
the problem, I think that someone stated the docs show the reasonable limit
on blobs is 230 bytes. Anyways, I had to store the blobs direct to disk and
use SQLite to track the addresses (no different than Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL
etc).

Please notify if you can get your system to work!

Re: [sqlite] ANN: SQLiteDB, a COM wrapper around sqlite has been released

2004-07-22 Thread Ed Porter
HI George,

I have tested the SQLiteDB for Visual Basic. I find it to be excellent - it
has raised the standard for VB wrappers exponentially. I will be changing
over all our new applications to this product - please keep it standardized
as I will be posting references to it all over the 'Net.

Again, thanks for developing an excellent product!

Go get your copy from http://www.terrainformatica.com/users/george (note
that the link will change in a few days to
http://www.terrainformatica.com/SQLiteDB).

[sqlite] Saving BLOBs in Sqlite

2004-05-07 Thread Ed Porter
Dear sirs,

I am trying to develop techniques to save BLOBs in Sqlite. What is the best
way to save jpg(S), bmp(s), etc?

Would it be best to use GetBitmapBits ("gdi32" library) and then save to
Sqlite as a byte array or is there a more efficient method?

I am new to Sqlite but it seems to be an amazing tool!

I look forward to any help and I thank you in advance for your input.

Sincerely,
Ed Porter
