    <p>I'm an embedded guy, not a database guy. I've been asked to redesign an existing system which has bottlenecks in several places.</p> <p>The embedded device is based around an ARM 9 processor running at 220mHz.</p> <p>There should be a database of 50k entries (may increase to 250k) each with 1k of data (max 8 filed). That's approximate - I can try to get more precise figures if necessary.</p> <p>They are currently using SqlLite 2 and planning to move to SqlLite 3.</p> <p>Without starting a flame war - I am a complete d/b newbie just seeking advice - is that the "best" decision? I realize that this might be a "how long is a piece of string?" question, but any pointers woudl be greatly welcomed. I don't mind doing a lot of reading &amp; research, but just hoped that you could get me off to a flying start. Thanks.</p> <p>p.s Again, a total rewrite, might not even stick with embedded Linux, but switch to eCos, don't worry too much about one time conversion between d/b formats. Oh, and accesses should be infrequent, at most one every few seconds.</p> <hr> <p>edit: ok, it seems they have 30k entries (may reach 100k or more) of only 5 or 6 fields each, but at least 3 of them can be a search key for a record. They are toying with "having no d/b at all, since the data are so simple", but it seems to me that with multiple keys, we couldn't use fancy stuff like a quicksort() type search (recursive, binary search). Any thoughts on "no d/b", just data-structures? </p> <p>Btw, one key is 800k - not sure how well SqlLite handles that (maybe with "no d/b" I have to hash that 800k to something smaller?)</p>

    2. COyeah, i'd recommend sqllite too.

    3. COIs the database even your bottleneck? By your numbers, it should be fine unless your storage is really slow. Remember that 10 years ago that would have been considered a fairly fast machine.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
