But you know: How often do people use BLOBs as keys? What other SQL engines other than SQLite even allow BLOBs as keys? Are we trying to optimize something that is never actually used? Note that the data encoding<http://www.sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/data_encoding.wiki>for BLOBs (used in the overwhelmingly common case of when the BLOB is not the key) does have a simple size+content format. > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- D.
