As an aside, it occurs to me that one could implement an alternate VACUUM which wrote the new database back to the main database file, journalling the original versions of those pages. The main database would be locked for longer, but that might be a fair tradeoff for some applications. -scott _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
