This is a polite way of saying, "This a *really* Bad Idea. There is a big gun over there. Have fun shooting yourself in the foot. Can we take pictures?" If you know enough about the whole system to understand the full implications of moving the journal file, chances are you know enough about the whole system to make the VFS modifications without serious thought. If you don't, you should likely think twice about hacking up a fundamental transaction behavior and dismissing years and years of practical knowledge and experience. Adding a function would be trivial... which means there are really good reasons why it isn't there. There is a really big gun right here (3.6.23.1): $ grep -n \"-journal\" sqlite3.c 35406: memcpy(&pPager->zJournal[nPathname], "-journal", 8); You're not finding "db-journal" because the "db" comes from your application. -j -- Jay A.
