I thought the purpose was to prevent corruption in the main database. If you assume the power fails, or some other program disaster occurs, it doesn't really matter if the last transaction was made persistant or not. It's just like the power failed a few seconds sooner. So as long as sqlite is still safe if a journal file is deleted after a restart, I don't think there's a problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
