Hi list,

I was trying to create an index on an integer column in a very large
table with over 400,000,000 rows on an Ubuntu server, 8-core opteron
2384, 32 Gb RAM. After a couple of days, the process was still running
and nothing seemed to happen. At first, sqlite uses a lot of cpu and
more and more  memory, until it reached about 90% memory use, after
which cpu usage drops. Also, I don't see the size of the database file
increasing, which I guess should happen while the index is created. I
increased the cache size to 200000000 but to no avail. Can it be that
this table is somehow too large to index? Or should I just wait
longer? If so, how, do I know? Any other ideas?

Thanks!
