Chris, There is a document at http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/fileformat.html that describes the file format for version 2 database files. For version 3 databases the architecture document has the following info in the B-Tree section: B-Tree An SQLite database is maintained on disk using a B-tree implementation found in the btree.c source file. A separate B-tree is used for each table and index in the database. All B-trees are stored in the same disk file. Details of the file format are recorded in a large comment at the beginning of btree.c. I have attached that comment to this message. I hope this helps. Dennis Cote
