*** 1,29 **** This page is about using in-memory SQLite databases. - The file btree_rb.c attached to this page is a replacement binary-tree layer. - It uses "red-black" binary trees. To use it, copy it over the btree.c file in - the SQLite source tree and recompile. All tables created will be "in-memory". - The filename supplied to sqlite_open is ignored. - - The following problems currently exist: - *: Virtually no testing done. All of the SQLite test suite that is practical to - run with in-memory tables succeeds however. - *: No memory-leak testing has been done. - *: In some queries (ie. to process ORDER BY clauses and some sub-selects), - SQLite uses binary-trees to hold intermediate data. The btree layer should not - bother to store rollback information in these cases (but it currently does). - *: It's a compile time thing. It would be better if you could choose to create - tables in-memory at run-time. - - The speedcompare.tcl script is a dodgy modification of DRH's speedcompare.tcl - script. You run it using the "tclsqlite" interpreter. - - The speed.txt file contains performance stats comparing in-memory with on-disk - tables. - - If anyone wants to develop this into a proper patch for SQLite and has any - questions on how to do this, or if you find any bugs, please post to the SQLite - yahoo group. ---- 2003-04-15: The in-memory database is now in the CVS tree, though it is still mostly untested. --- 1,5 ----
