Ah, good. Nice and big. I wondered if maybe the size was restricted for performance reasons

Can including it in the modRana package once it's done ? - Only if you don't mind, of course.
This way it could be placed in /usr/bin and would be easily callable as it would be in $PATH.
Quite happy with that in principle. In practice it may be tricky as the script has dependencies on the Perl DBI and DBD-SQLite libraries, so my original design is for it to be run on a normal Linux system rather than on the N900 (probably rather faster there as well). But I'll see if I can port the necessary libraries and bundle up what's needed.


I hit something similar - the solution was not to commit after every tile but just once every 50 or so tiles. This made the process quite faster IIRC.
Good point. I need to build in a restart facility as well; a long-running process like this needs to be interruptible.
