SQLite uses a byte-order and alignment independent on-disk format so that SQLite databases can be freely copied between machines with different processor and memory architectures. SQLite *never* stores an in-memory data structure directly to disk. So any alignment issues that might come up (and they do from time to time) are easily fixed. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Though, I hardly will be able to use it on Windows x86_64/ia64 because I'm not sure that there is TCL available for those architecture on Windows. A side note: from previous experience with some other DB engines I know that sometimes alignment issues are not minor at all. They can be deeply in on-disk format and sometimes it is difficult to avoid them without having to change the on-disk format. This is why I'm checking it out early in the game. So far, it seems to be OK. Thanks to you for that. P.S. As kind of access to additional hardware have you ever heard about HP testdrive machines? You can take a look at it here: http://www.testdrive.hp.com/accounts/register.shtml -- Alexei Alexandrov

I personally test each release on ix86 Linux (currently SuSE 9.2), on Win2K (running under VMWare on the afore mentioned SuSE box) and on MacOS 10.4 on a G5.
