How do you examine the string? Are you examining testValue immediately after sqlite3_column_text call? sqlite3_column_text returns a pointer to an internal buffer that may be reused by many other calls. If you need to keep the string around for later use, you must make a copy of it right after sqlite3_column_text.

Re: [sqlite] first few characters of varchar() corrupted when SELECTing from a C++ program?
(Replying to pierr as I joined the list after uralmazamog sent original email) uralmazamog, The code is incomplete. You are not showing us how you are determining what testValue points to. What is returned if you use the following? sqlite3_open_v2( "testdat", &sqlDB, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL ); sqlite3_prepare_v2( sqlDB, "SELECT b FROM whee WHERE a='bing';", -1,&sqlStat, NULL ); sqlite3_step( sqlStat ); const unsigned char *testValue = sqlite3_column_text( sqlStat, 0 ); printf("testValue=(%s)\n"); Cheers!
