Re: [sqlite] shared-cache mode and firefox
Thanks Vitali, and Trevor. I'll poke them instead ;) > Firefox is now using sqlite.

The "shared cache mode" in sqlite only changes certain behavior for threads in the same process. It's unrelated to external locks, which work as normal. It's my understanding that Firefox has done modifications of their own to disable external locking. -- The JS Image Collector suite: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/js-image-collector?hl=en SqliteImporter and SqliteReplicator: Command line utilities for Sqlite http://www.reddawn.net/~jsprenkl/Sqlite Cthulhu Bucks! http://www.cthulhubucks.com - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

Re: [sqlite] shared-cache mode and firefox
http://www.sqlite.org/sharedcache.html It's controlled at runtime by the function int sqlite3_enable_shared_cache(int); Thus that behaviour is probably controlled by Firefox (assuming it uses a version of sqlite with cache support compiled in). You'd have to ask them. Jay Sprenkle wrote: Good evening, I'd like to make a request for the next version of sqlite.

They use shared-cache mode because they want it to work over networked drives and they don't want to pay for the latency involved. I personally wouldn't have made this choice since it trades away something I think that could be useful to a large number of people to support something that I believe almost nobody will use. It's not my decision though. If shared-cache mode was something that could be turned off at run time it would allow everyone to get what they want. I believe this would be a complete refactoring of the code though. Thanks for your time Dr. Hipp, and for sharing Sqlite with all of us! Jay - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
