Hi Eric, I will be trying it on real machines next week but for now I have one Debian and one Solaris VM on my laptop, each allocated the same memory etc I will try profiling what is really going on and will let you know, but I hope it is just a VM thing Thanks ;-) Lynton -Original Mes

Re: [sqlite] page cache vs OS cache

2010-11-20 Thread Pavel Ivanov
I'd say the performance of a local in-process cache can be comparable with performance of OS cache only in one case: if your process is the only process in the system and no other files are read from disk. In all other (common) cases OS caches much larger set of data than is used by SQLite and natu

Hi Roger, Many thanks for your feedback, much appreciated ;-) But why would that happen on Solaris and not Debian? Also, how would I pass the -D flags? Do I do that when I compile SQLite? Thanks again Lynton -Original Message- From: sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users

Hi, Sorry, never mind this post. I haven't found the problem actually yet, but a "bare minimum" example fed directly to the interpreter through the command line works correctly: % package require sqlite3 3.7.2 % set inf [open 1_schema.sql r] file6 % set sql [read $inf] [... the contents of the re

No, this is definitely not the reason in my case as I can reproduce this issue on every 3.7.2/3.7.3 machine I've tested after copying the database file (and only the database file) to these machines. Am 15.11.2010 15:41, schrieb Kirk Clemons: > Not sure if it helps but I would see this quite fre
