Really, there is a greater difference in gains at the other end. In other words, there IS a certain amount of overhead, BUT, what you get back from sqlite over a flat file is: The ability to use SQL, where a flat file is flat and brain dead. The ability to create indexes to help find specific data, where your other choices may require you to write code (which equals time which equals labor and money). Finally, businesses often throw hardware at performance, when tuning has already been tried. Good Luck. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
