Well, sorry Mr. Hipp, but the dump was from my own SQLite GUI. So what I was doing is insuring some coding changes to the GUI's dump had not changed anything, by comparing to prior dumps of data with the same tool. So I was really doing exactly what you caution about to debug between versions. Idea being, dump ASCII data, compare over time with some kind of diff tool to see changes. So to user's question, be sure to use same version of the dump tool as you indicate. danap. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
