Thanks Simon I'm an idiot - dev environment was running as admin - so nothing else could write to DB out side of this as a normal users.

The database may be read-only for several reasons. You can explicitly ask SQLite to open it read-only. The file may be marked for read-only access for your user. The folder may be marked for read-only access, which would prevent SQLite from creating a journal file for changes. And several other causes. Simon.
[sqlite] error "attempt to write a readonly database"
I have a database I have created and populated with various tables and data. I now want to create a new table and I get the above error. command is create table testtab (id int, data blob); I am using sqlite 3.8.6 command line to try and create the table (although the DB was created using Devarts UniDac) . I am on windows, NTFS file system and the error occurs after a reboot so nothing should be holding the DB open. The file itself is not flagged as read only by the OS. I can run the same command on a different DB in the same folder Pragma integrity_check is OK The table testtab does not already exist Any ideas of why i can't create the table/why the db is flagged readonly? Thanks
