Common Usage

SQLITE_TEMP_STORE=<0|1|2|3>

Default

1 (use files, allow override)

Description

This directive controls how temporary files are stored. Temporary files may either be stored on disk or in memory. Rollback journals and master journals are always stored on disk. This parameter applies to temporary databases (used to store temporary tables), materialized views and subqueries, transient indexes, and transient databases used by VACUUM. It is perfectly safe to use memory based temporary storage.
