Thanks for the quick answer. I'm working on a game where memory is a precious commodity, and we use a :memory: db. Is there a relatively easy way to do any of:
- Make Sqlite use 32-bit floats instead of 64-bit doubles. Our DB contains a lot of floating point data. - Make Sqlite use 32-bit ints instead of 64-bit ints. - Anything else that would reduce the size in memory? I previously asked about setting the cache size to do this but it appears that doesn't do anything for :memory: databases (which makes sense).

This seems to scale linearly > as I increase the amount of data in the DB. SQLite stores 64-bit integers, not 32-bit as you suppose. And each row also stores a 64-bit integer rowid in addition to the data. So that it fits in 92KB instead of the (naively expected) 160KB suggests that SQLite is actually doing a reasonable job of compressing the data. -- D.
