Well, you modified the library, so you now better than we do whether pages are decrypted when they are read into memory or not. Which layer/subsystem did you change? If it is implemented in VFS, the pages in memory are not encrypted and security depends on the access to the sqlite memory from some other process, which depends on hardware, operating system, and system/security administration. >Thanks in advance. -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
