From what I remember, an attempt at database compatibility is attempted 
across major revision numbers (i.e. all SQLite v2 revisions can read 
SQLite v2 databases, all SQLite v3 revisions can read SQLite v3 
databases), but I can't remember.  I don't believe it's generally 
recommended to be doing what you are doing - is there any reason why 
they both can't be dynamically linked against a sqlite DLL, and then 
supply only the one version?

A good way to test would be to grab the versions being used by the DLLs 
off of the website, and write your own little test harness that 
simulates the situation and try to use 1 DLL version to write the 
database, and another to read & modify it, and finally read it back 
using the 2nd.

If you open a database read-only, then no corruption should occur since 
SQLite will not have the permissions on the file handle.
