If you're creating the 3 databases in parallel, you would be better off creating 3 connections (each from a seperate thread or process) to populate them in order to more efficiently use the spare cycles of the CPU during I/O waits. Use ATTACH from one connection after the databases have been populated to read from all of them. ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
