Tom and Slavin: The dump of information sounds like a good idea. To Slavin's question, the user need to be able to repeated search, but as a developer, I would want and idea I can eventually implement repeatedly. I've done this successfully in the past, but it required 4-5 methods handling a combination of SQL statements and looping arrays. Thanks for your help guys! Scott ValleryEcclesiastes 4:9-10

No. There's no way to do this, and there's no way to say "all tables" in SQL. In other words it's not easy to write such a thing. I like Thomas Kurz's solution, to dump the database as SQL commands. Alternatively you could write a text exporter for all the columns you think might hold the string, then search that text. If you want better solutions, it might help to tell us whether this is a one-time problem, something you (the developer) might want to do repeatedly, or something you want the user to be able to do repeatedly. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
