Thanks , and thanks to all who replied to my questions. I've been testing SQLite's speed, for inserting the type of data I gather from the field. I've tried encapsulating multiple inserts between begin and commit statements, fiddling the pragmas and with both Tcl and C interfaces, even using a RAM disk to store the database file. I can receive up to 2,000,000 records in about 30 seconds from the field, and I can't seem to jam them into an SQLite database any faster than about 100 seconds at best, on my system. So unless anyone can suggest some magic I have not thought of, I will have to abandon the SQL database dream, and write a less functional, data and application specific, database of my own. Cheers, James. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
