They all do, unless the I/O was designed by a moron. Of course, morons are the most plentiful element in the universe, so your likelihood of getting something designed by a moron is high -- and that probability increases proportionally with your desire to spend less money. That is to say, you get what you pay for. Non-morons usually command much higher wages and salaries than morons and consequently, non-moron designed products tend to be more expensive whereas cheap products tend to be designed and built by people who do not consider the consequence of what they are doing (or not doing) or how to ensure a good outcome in the face of failure (in other words, a safe design). This is either because they are not paid to do so, or because they are incapable of doing so. In either case, you get what you pay for. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
