I'll wait for the ota extension Mr. Hipps is developing. It will (If I Understood Correctly) reorder the commit operations to get faster IO throughput. Some tricks: a)If you use Sqlite in single thread, compile it without thread support. b)Adjust the page size to fit in a hard disk cluster size (8KB IIRC) or the multiply of it that allows integer number of rows fits in. c)Disable autovacuum > 2) Will ther be any write performance hit when the number of records > in the DB increase? > > Thanks in advance > > ~Joe --- --- Eduardo Morras <emorr...@yahoo.es> _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
