Thinking again, and just to simplify that last email, which was mainly b*ll*cks. What is your guidance on the following? - 1) In this scenario, should I be using multi DBs or just one. Is there a performance gain/loss by using many? 2) Should I use disk based or mem based DBs, again in this scenario. 3) Please can you give me a quick pointer on how to use params for that query. 4) Is there a good way I can avoid using 'inline' SQL, as I hate it, it's so prone to errors (for me). But then params make this difficult if there is no design persistence to accommodate them. Easier to understand I hope.

I do not know what you did to "create a temp file at the control" so it is hard for me to help avoiding the warning. Please know that in DISQLite3, a memory database and a temporary table are two different things. Memory databases are stored entirely in memory, including all tables and indexes. A memory database is temporary in that they are never written to disk, it memory is automatically freed when the database is closed. No need to create temporary tables for memory databases. DISQLite3.chm -> SQLite3 Documentation -> In-Memory Database Temp tables are not kept in memory but are written to a separate disk file, very much like regular tables. The only difference is that this disk file (with all its tables) is automatically deleted when the database is closed: DISQLite3.chm -> SQL Syntax -> CREATE TABLE DISQLite3.chm -> SQLite3 Documentation -> Temporary Dis Files used My impression is that you are in fact looking for memory databases rather than temporary tables. > It would be good if you could do it from there.

It does not import at design-time, but at run-time does exactly what you are looking for: Create structure and copy data with just a single command.
