sqlite3_prepare() will return a SQLITE_SCHEMA error if SQLite detects the connection's schema is outdated. There's arguments for and against transparently handling it in prepare. I figured DRH's logic behind returning the error is maintaining consistency. If some schema change errors were transparently handled and some were not, then a programmer interested in capturing all schema change events would not be able to do so. Robert
