I'm using an environment called the Frontier Kernel (http://www.frontierkernel.org), which is the open source version of the original UserLand Frontier. As obscure as that may sound, Frontier's been around for a very long time, and was the tool used for the first blogging and RSS feeds. That said, I recently finished coding an SQLite wrapper into the source of the Frontier Kernel. So far, I've only implemented a very few functions, but wanted to pull them into my application before adding more. The wiki on this is at http://frontierkernel.org/docs/verbs/sqlite. > You can feed the the DB thread with a FIFO buffer sync'd on events, > which are an efficient mechanism in a threaded environment. That does make sense. The only gotcha is stuff like long, multipage search responses (something, honestly, I'm not doing now), and there then needs to be some artificial tracking added to the app to keep track of which user request caused which database result. Not impossible, but I thought this might add almost as much (or maybe more, since this part's scripted) overhead as just opening and closing the database a lot, and semaphoring availability. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
