[Digikam-devel] Good (not so recent) news about sqlite and locking problem

[Gilles Caulier]

Fabien,

new sqlite release 3.4.0 is out. I would to have a report about digiKam with
this major version... especially with an huge DB and the new data limit than
sqlite can manipulate (look this post in French here :
http://linuxfr.org/2007/06/26/22661.html)
