Incidentally, I agree with Simon. It exchanges the extremely easy problem of temp namespace collision for the very hard problem of invisible files filling up your hard drive. Indeed, it was diagnosing this hard problem -- at great cost in time and confusion -- that caused us to discover it in the first place. (Though to clarify, it seems to be in /var/tmp for extra confusion.)
Also, I disagree its a "standard, time tested" solution. I've never even heard of this trick before, and despite its passionate defense, I'd encourage everybody (including the SQLite maintainers) to stop using it. (No need to defend it further Jay, I'm done.) -david On Sep 26, 2012 7:21 AM, "Simon Slavin" <slav...@bigfraud.org> wrote: > > On 26 Sep 2012, at 3:07pm, Jay A.
