Will it also work with e.g. sqlite 2.8.15 (ie. sqlite < v3) - this is the standard version on SuSE 9.2. >> Also your statement regarding sqlite3 suggests that sqlite >> itself is not included - why not ? > > For the same reasons we don't include the BerkeleyDB library.

If it works with sqlite2 then I agree: these versions are usually available on Unixes. sqlite3 is not as wide-spread yet. What about the Windows build ? Will that contain the necessary DLLs ?
