I would suggest adding a command-line argument to the shell indicating whether to ignore a BOM or not, possibly requiring specification of a certain encoding or list of encodings to consider. Certainly this should not be a requirement for the library per se, but a responsibility of the client to provide data in the proper encoding. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
