I've partially written the code to use in-memory sqlite for my storage instead of an array. (I need to do fast sorts by parts of a two-dimensional array--and sorts that are natural to sql).
Anyway, if a single database is opened in memory, it seems to be blindingly fast. Db creation, table creation, and query come back before the milliseconds change. A simple query ranges from 0 to 1 ms. Open three or 4--with all but the last all but empty-- and it's another story. a few ms to create, and about 70 ms for a simple query. (There are something like 340 rows of nine columns in this. The 340 line command is one of the fast/slow results). I'm not sure that I'll get to the point of comparing query/sort across the array--it would be ugly and mind-twisting to write (along with the secondary arrays needed for indices); if this is fast enough, I'm going to use it. -- Dr. Richard E.
