Others have already responded, but in questions like this, my standard response is... measure. If you think it might, it is time to measure, do a test. Only you can do a test that is meaningful to you. Of course, you can and should ask for ways to make your queries more efficient, but in the end, a test on your hardware, in your environment, is the only thing that matters. That said, why choose a sql database, and then want to bypass its sql engine to access the data directly? Even if you could, why would you? Why not just begin with a more appropriate data store in the first place? If you don't need sql, just go ahead and choose a key-value db... Berkeley DB is free for the taking... try Tokyo Cabinet. I am sure there are others. > Thanks for your help. > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
