To quote a local radio DJ: You're making my point! If you want the Super SQLite GUI Tool and Swiss Army Knife 3000 to have a POWER function, contact the maintainer of said tool - it's an application problem. If you want your application to have the POWER function, roll your own build of SQLite. Those are application problems, not database problems. And quite frankly I think the real problem in your example is static linking - If a 3rd party tool links in SQLite statically, then you're basically stuck with whatever version they choose, with whatever extensions they add - in other words, you're using *their* embedded database, not SQLite. Which is probably as it should be, but one shouldn't expect SQLite to solve problems for said application. One other thing I just thought of: is the POWER function (or operator) standard SQL? I'm honestly not sure, off the top of my head, but I'm guessing that that factors in here somewhere. -Tom ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
