SQLite uses a byte-order and alignment independent on-disk format so that SQLite databases can be freely copied between machines with different processor and memory architectures. SQLite *never* stores an in-memory data structure directly to disk. So any alignment issues that might come up (and they do from time to time) are easily fixed. -- D.
