No. It means that you should present /your/ error messages to your users, not error messages generated by SQLite. SQLite is a programmer’s tool. Its users are programmers, and that’s who its error messages are addressed to. You should not be letting your users see error message intended for you, and you should not be making your users worry about what to do about them. If your software wants to react to a SQLite result code by presenting one of its own error messages to its users, that’s fine.
