Hello, Adam, Regarding: "... are there plans to stop sqlite3 from reading in all column data on specific select queries? i.e I would like sqlite to ONLY read column data for columns which are specified in the select and where clauses."
I'm no sqlite expert, and moreover I'm not sure I understand your question properly. Are you wanting to prevent sqlite from transferring data columns from disk when those columns are not needed? If so, I don't think that's generally feasible. You might want to look at sqlite's (and other database system's) architechture. Sqlite will instruct the operating system to read *pages* that it needs to complete your requests. That being said, you *can* sometimes improve performance by locating less-used columns later in your table definition (i.e., "to the right of" the more-used columns). Even better, you can place large blob-ish fields into separate tables, along with an indexing identifier, in the hope that these pages will be read only when required. What problem are you attempting to solve?
