SQLite 3.3.0 can read and write all prior versions of SQLite databases. But SQLite 3.2.8 cannot read or write a database created by SQLite 3.3.0, unless you use PRAGMA legacy_file_format=TRUE; prior to creating the database, or unless you compile 3.3.0 with -DSQLITE_DEFAULT_FILE_FORMAT=1. The file format enhancement in version 3.3.0 has caused an inordinate amount of grief for the benefit it provides. I deeply regret making it the default. I might yet, in a future release, make the old file format the default. The in a couple of years time, once all the legacy versions of SQLite that do not understand it have faded from existance, I can make the enhanced file format the default again. -- D.
