There had been database conversion options coming with TP (v8 or so), but they seem not to be supported any more.
Moreover, I read that the currently used version of SQLite is said to be a lot slower than the "Jet" engine (aka Access database) that you currently use, making TP rather sluggy in certain actions.
Still moreover, here in the Forum there had been discussions of users testing the next SQLite version and confirming it to be **much** faster than the previous one (maybe even faster than Jet and obviously no 2GB Limit). But using this version is not absolutely straight forward and seems to need manual interaction whenever an update of TP is installed.
So I conclude (and hope) that one day soon the next TP version will come with the most recent SQLite engine perfectly integrated out of the box, and will provide appropriate conversion Python scripts as well for tpdb8 files, as for old TP7 td4 files (which I still use) and finally allow (me and many more addicted TP7 users with huge databases ) to convert to a more recent TP version.
