Hi,

I suggest you download and test the trial version, which works just like
the retail version, apart from (a) being limited to a passphrase of exactly
8 bytes, and (b) have the passphrase stored in the clear in the first 8
bytes of the database file.

Check out this script that does timing tests for SQLcrypt, SQLite v3, MySQL
and PostgreSQL. The numbers posted on the SQLcrypt website are based on my
puny test machine. I'd be interested to see your numbers.

Just comment out the MySQL or PostgreSQL tests if you don't have them. Also
see this page for discussions about the timing tests and the use of crypto.

drh has a source-code add-in. His uses RC4; SQLcrypt uses AES.  His is
available for both SQLite v2 and v3; SQLcrypt is SQLite v3 only.

HTH. Cheers.
