Good idea. I found setting the status column to epoch was considerably faster: epoch = int(datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%s%f')) conn.execute('UPDATE queue SET status=? WHERE key in (SELECT key FROM queue WHERE status=? LIMIT ?);', (epoch, 0, limit)) rows = conn.execute('SELECT key FROM queue WHERE status=?', (epoch,)) _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
