I posted about this previously: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bacula.user/16853/match=pragma Looks like they just removed the option to default all databases to non-synchronous operation in SQLite 3.0, requiring you to manually set your databases to be asynchronous. A good decision, I would say. I think the 'default_synchronous' setting will only apply to databases when they're created (or, to put it another way, changing it will not affect any existing databases). Since you're taking backups of the database, and you can restore the catalog by using bscan, I don't see the need for synchronous operation, unless you absolutely cannot have your database server down for the time it would take to restore the catalog in the event of a power failure or somesuch. I'll be turning it off tonight, to see what difference it makes to performance... -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
