A smaller dll doesn't always mean a faster one. In fact enabling compiler optimizations generally make a faster executable, but often lead to an increase in binary size. I think a read only SQLite may be faster because of locks and other instructions, and it would be safer in a cgi-bin application. If memory or disk space is an issue on the third-party server, you may want to try hosting the database on a networked server.

Sql.ite's size is perfect as it is, but I have a couple of apps where an even smaller "reader" could be used: 1. A cgi-bin based application, hosted at a third party place - no fast-cgi, no registering isapi dlls, etc. just plain cgi-bin which gets loaded/executed every time it is called (win32 + IIS ). The cgi-bin program (150k) loads sqlite3.dll (380k) every time, so I am just trying to take it to the smallest size possible. A static link to my app might make the combination smaller (sqlite3.exe is 410k), but I want to make it even smaller. 2. For distributing/replicating databases on embedded devices, where the device itself doesn't do any updates to the database. For example, a DVR which receives daily non-incremental (full) updates of programming or a PDA which receives and displays statistics of some sort. The PDA wouldn't need all the overhead of data update routines. Wouldn't it be nice to say that the sqlite reader version is only 128k (or less)? Also, in theory, since it doesn't have to worry about locks, transactions, synchrounous=off, etc., shouldn't it run even faster? jp --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Building a read-only version of SQLite is easy if > you > don't care about leaving all of the (unused) writing > code in place.
