Thanks much - one more question though... I'm attempting to copy data from an in memory database to another db (file or otherwise). Is it possible to attach an existing in-memory database to another existing db connection? (attach database :MEMORY: would just seem to create another in mem db).
I'm trying to do this in hopes of being able to use the destination dbs existing connection - otherwise i have to do a lock/unlock close/open on the destination db - which i'd like to avoid.
