There might be a bug. If SQLite sees a file that is less than 1024 bytes in length, it might assume (mistakenly) that it is empty and then overwrite it. I'll have to check on that. If it does, this should be considered a bug. Certainly if the file is 1024 bytes or larger SQLite should never overwrite it. If you find a case where it does, please fill out a bug report. -- D.
