I think - if you are serious about the problem - you can just rely on a disk array to do this for you. You see something that looks like a disk but which is of course spread over lots of spindles and with a bucketload of NV cache in front of it, and which can sustain really high numbers of ops/second. Of course that may be what the previous person meant by "special hardware". _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
