Greetings, Does anyone know a reliable converter to export a bunch of tables in an M$ excel file to regular ISO SQL92/2003 or, preferably (school work), Oracle? No GUI required, just an easy way to convert them... TIA, sorry for the OT Nuno Magalhães __

I would think that it would be even easier than that -- simply write a separate 20-line python script that starts a transaction (thus assuring that no one else is writing to the db while the file is being copied), then forks an rsync to copy the single database file to another file on the local

It would be a relatively minor job to make Sqlite replicate itself. The partitioning in its design seperates the i/o level. Wade Williams wrote: > I'm looking for an honest assessment from someone that may have made > this decision in the past. > > I'm considering using an embedded database fo

although I'm not an sqlite expert (but using it since a few month) I'm wondering why you actually need that sqlite-internal recovery system: I understand that you have two servers running either parallel or one of them will switched on in case of a failure of the primary server, right ? I also have

SQLite is file-based (no server behind DB), you must provide your own synchronization (copying file, executing SQL on both databases, etc). I don't know if there´s an application/library that does it for you automatically. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECT

2008-12-11 Thread Wade Williams
I'm looking for an honest assessment from someone that may have made this decision in the past. I'm considering using an embedded database for an upcoming application. Operation rate is high 20,000-60,000 per day. (Those will mostly be selects, but some smaller percentage will be inserts).

Yes I am looking for something like that. Can you explain "create table mytable (x, y, z, primary key(x, y));" What it will do? can I specify x as integer and y as text ? On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 6:06 PM, Igor Tandetnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "Rajesh Nair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote in me

Just to better understand, the index on (x,y,z), would it be useful for queries like select * from table1 inner join table2 on table1.x=table2.x and table1.y = table2.y and table1.z=table2.z or "table1.y = table2.y and table1.z=table2.z" would not benefit the index (so it would be better 3 dif
