It is safe to read the first N bytes in a db file and check for the string "** This file contains an SQLite 2..." or the string "** This file contains an SQLite 3..." to determine if the db was created with the 2.x or 3.x version?
Is there a better method?
I think that works. Though the correct prefixes are:
Version 2.8: [** This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database **] Version 3.0: [SQLite format 3.]
