Can't one do the same as this "fork" via a true VFS-based "extension"? Hmmm, http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/see.html seems to take that same "fork" approach, so I guess not. My question then for Dr. Hipp is why such DB-encryption cannot not be implemented as a true "extension"? And the changes necessary to allow it? (like allowing user-defined PRAGMAs for example?).
