Imposter tables are used by the RBU extension (https://www.sqlite.org/rbu.html) to allow indexes to be updated independently from tables, and in key order, for reduced write amplification and improved efficiency during bulk updates. Minor coding errors in the use of imposter tables can corrupt the database. If you feel you ust use them, do so with with great care. -- D.
