*** 10,12 **** --- 10,14 ---- _While connections to on-disk databases should not be carried across a Unix fork(), is there any reason not to do it with an in-memory database?_ (2003-10-21 by drh:) Not that I know of. + + DK: Of course, when you do the fork() you are creating a new copy of the in-memory db for the child process. So subsequent edits to the db in the child won't show up in the parents copy, and vice-versa.
