Thanks

First i realized i hadn't the latest sqlite (gotta upgrade)... My project
starts well ;)

I wanted to know:

Is it best:
- to create the table on-the-go: whenever a new column is needed, i add it
and fill the data. The previous entries (which never needed this column) are
NULL ?
- my second option is to parse a lot of files and decide i have quite a good
representation, i create the table once and for all, and fill the entries.

Is it possible to progressively (i.e. with several distinct requests) fill a
line (entry)?
Is it possible to easily create additional columns?
Is it possible to reorder columns?

I'm beginning to think that sqlite (and maybe sql in general) is very
single-request-oriented, and not progressive-construction-oriented. Do you
know any related technology that would fit my needs, except than using
native memory tables (! memory use)?

Thanks

Regards

Florent

Hello Florent,
Try this:
select * from sqlite_master;
This gives a lot of interesting info about tables and indices.
