I didn't equate them. I said that SQLite3 is great if you look on it as an upgrade over a JSON blob. Of course it offers more features than that, and you don't need to swear at me to make your point. But SQLite3 is *not* great if you look on it as a database engine comparable with DB2, PostgreSQL, and even MySQL. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
