The new file format stores boolean values more efficiently. So if you have a lot of entries in your database with a value of 0 or 1, your database file might be noticably smaller. Making the enhanced file format the default in 3.3.0 has caused a lot of people a lot of grief. I understand now that I probably should have made it an option that could be turned on by people who wanted it, rather than the default that can be turned off by those who do not. But that's now water under the bridge.... -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
