Hi, I'm currently running several python applications (each app using sqlalchemy) accessing (read/write) a single SQLite database stored on disk.
For performance reasons, I would like to store this db file in RAM memory (ie, in my /dev/shm) The applications would then access a shared in-memory db through SQLAlchemy and a backup application would periodically make a hot copy of the in-memory db to disk. Then, on a [power off, power on] sequence, this backup app would copy the backed up db file from disk to RAM before launching the other apps. Before starting, I would like to know if you think it is feaseable. My questions are: 1- Has SQLALchemy an API to do a hot copy? (based on http://sqlite.org/backup.html for this particular db type) 2- If so, is this an actual hot copy, ie: the other apps will still run without waiting for the backup app to finish he backup? 3- Is there a particular configuration in SQLAlchemy that enables sharing an in-momory db from different apps (python processes)?
