So, do you actually recommend sqlite as storage for binary data?

Well, I don't recommend neither disrecommend it. I was only suggesting you should try another backend!

Which database is the best for a given problem, does not depend exclusively on the data structures but also on the usage pattern.

Anyway, if you need to access 2GB of data randomly, there is probably nothing you can do to stop disk trashing other than adding more RAM to your machine, so that all the disk sectors used for the database remain cached.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
