SQLite is a component piece of many other applications (Firefox, Chrome, iTunes, McAfee, Photoshop, Skype, etc.) But by itself, it is inert. It does nothing on its own. It is not SQLite, then, that is leaving temp files on your machine; it is some other application that is using SQLite as a tool to leave temp files on your machine. By analogy, you can think of SQLite as a car tire. The tires are a very important piece of your car. Without them, you car won't go. But on the other hand, the tires won't go either, unless connected to your car. Now, suppose you woke up one morning and found that a miscreant teenager had used his car to burn donuts on your front lawn. Would you then write a testy missive to Bridgestone or Goodyear complaining that their products were going to get a bad name in the webworld because they had failed to include instructions on their website on how to stop misguided youth from burning donuts with their products? I'm very sorry that your machine is having problems. But on the other hand, the problems are not caused by SQLite. There is nothing we can do to stop it. Nor is nothing we can do to identify the true culprit. > > -- > *A/Prof Nathan Lawrentschuk > *MB BS PhD FRACS (Urology) > *University of Melbourne, Department of Surgery, Austin Hospital > **Urological Surgeon & Urologic Oncologist* > *Suite 5, 210 Burgundy Street* > *Heidelberg Vic 3084* > *AUSTRALIA* > *Tel: +61 3 9387 1000 (call service)* > * +61 3 9455 3269 (rooms)* > *Fax: +61 3 9457 5829* > *Email: lawrentsc...@gmail.com* > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- D.
