I've never used sqlite 2.x, so I can't comment on that. All with sqlite 3 - both 3.1.3 (as installed on Mac OS X), and the current 3.3.17 Its not indexes/triggers - its data within tables that is incorrect. I suspect, but have not checked, that null characters (ie \000 or zero bytes) are either getting lost, or terminating the dump string. Could you put together a few line schema and a couple of insert statements that when dumped exhibit the problem you mention? I'll see if I can reproduce the result with standard INSERT statements Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
[sqlite] Is .dump the definitive backup method for sqlite?
I recently experimented with putting binary data into SQLite table rows - I declared the column holding the binary data as a BLOB (not that it makes a ton of difference for SQLite). This worked very well (using perl DBIx::Class/DBI/DBD::SQLite as the interface into SQLite). However a dump and rebuild of the database - ie sqlite mydatabase.db .dump > out.sql sqlite newdatabase.db does not reconstruct the database correctly - there are the right number of rows, no errors are thrown during the rebuild, but some rows have differing data in them. I presume that this should not happen, or is .dump & rebuild only valid for some subset of data?
