Hi Roger

Where can I learn how to characterize my database?
I work read-only, single connection.
I have 13 tables, of which 2 are huge, 2 are medium and the rest are very small.
My huge tables have 3 columns: numeric, numeric and varchar with millions of 
rows.
I keep an index on the numeric columns.

Does that bring up any column ordering suggestion?

Thanks
Rinat

It would be helpful if you characterise your data and queries.

For example if the size is due to blobs, then careful ordering of columns, or 
moving them to separate tables will likely be very useful.

You can get compression external to SQLite by using a compressing filesystem 
like NTFS or btrfs (make sure to pick an appropriate page size), or by internal 
compression with cerod:
