I?m curious: how much work are we talking about here? If I have 99 INTEGER fields followed by a BLOB one, to access the BLOB field, does SQLite need to compute the size of each previous INTEGER field first? -Pol ________________________________ Pol-Online info at pol-online.net (mailto:info at pol-online.net)
