RB Smissaert,
The database file is named <thename>.vdb. Is .vdb ok or wrong? Does it have to 
be .db3? Or is there just certian extensions I need to avoid?

I  quote from http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=PerformanceTuningWindows

"Be *VERY, VERY* careful what you name your database, especially the /extension/

For example, if you give all your databases the extension .sdb (SQLite Database, nice name hey? I thought so when I choose it anyway...) you discover that the SDB extension is already associated with APPFIX PACKAGES.

Now, here is the cute part, APPFIX is an executable/package that Windows XP recognizes, and it will, (emphasis mine) *ADD THE DATABASE TO THE SYSTEM RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY*

This means, stay with me here, every time you write ANYTHING to the database, the Windows XP system thinks a bloody executable has changed and copies your ENTIRE 800 meg database to the system restore directory....

I recommend something like DB or DAT.

The entire list of system restore-monitored filename extensions can be found at: ยคhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sr/sr/monitored_file_extensions.asp"; <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sr/sr/monitored_file_extensions.asp>


Dr Hipp,

Nice to see that i am not the only one you read drh as Dr. H. ;-) in fact his name is D. Richard Hipp.
But i have never seen before the habit to abreviate the first surname.

Regards,
Gunnar
