Hi, There is no limit using the current sqlite_exec() API function. It will compile and execute all the SQL statements in the string pointed to by the sql parameter one after the other. I use this to initialize a new empty database by executing all the table, index, and trigger creation statements and then inserting fixed data into some of the tables. This schema information is kept in a text file which is read into memory and then executed with one call. With all the statements executed in a single transaction it is very fast. I have noticed that SQLite queries execute somewhat slower after this has been done however. I have no idea why. My work around is simply to close the database file after it is initialized, and then immediately reopen it. Now all the queries run at full speed. I hope this helps.
