Hi Rob, This maybe a dumb idea but have you tried a software RAM disk? Or maybe even a physical RAM disk.

We are using an SQLite database to store process data that will eventually be displayed on a graph. The database design is simple, including only six tables, but the table containing the data points for the graph could contain a few million records. By using the simplest possible query and asking for the bare minimum of data I need at any one point, I've managed to get the time to display the graph down from a few minutes to about 15 seconds for a sample database with 1.3 million records. But I'm wondering if I can use an in-memory database to improve this dramatically. The data is collected by a Windows service that collects data and adds it to the database once a minute. If the service would also store the data into an in-memory database, and the graphing application could somehow read the same database, I ought to be able to get unbelievable speed. Is this feasible? If so, how would I set it up? Another possibility might be to read the entire database from disk into an in-memory database when the graphing application starts up, if there's a way to do that that is much faster than a set of INSERT INTO newtable SELECT * FROM oldtable (or whatever -- you get the idea) statements. Thank you very much.
