This is to make crash/corruption diagnostics simpler. At the moment, if the database file is so corrupt it can't be opened by SQLite, just by looking at the files in the directory I can tell a lot about what journal mode the database was in and what was being done, and what the user did to try to restore a backup. But users do all sorts of weird things to try to recover from crashes, including restoring a database, sometimes in a different journal mode, but leaving journal files in place. Seeing whether there's a -wal file and/or a -wal1 file, and comparing the changedates on the files, will give me better clues about what was done. It means I can get further in figuring out what was going on before hexdumping the files concerned. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
