I never use any system provided software for my own creations (well, not never, but mostly never). One, I can't depend on its ingredients; two, I can depend on whether it will remain as i expect it to or not in a subsequent upgrade; and three, it will always be a few versions behind the most current version usually available from the developer. I have Leopard 10.5.5 and the /usr/bin/sqlite3 (the factory installed version) is 3.4.0. I compile my own, both libsqlite as well as DBD::SQLite (it takes a few clicks of the mouse and builds painlessly), and am at 3.6.2. If you are using network shares as provided by the system sqlite, that capability shouldn't suddenly disappear at all unless you have made the huge mistake of writing over the factory installation (always install your own stuff under /usr/local/) > > The inconsistency also spreads to make some GUI apps support network > share support (those that use Mac OS X's built in library or are smart > enough to have "fixed" the omission in their included SQLite source > code), while others don't (such as those powered by the Zentus JDBC > which uses the default SQLite source code settings). > > Of course, if you want to disable network share support for some > reason in your own compile, you'd be free to override the flag. > My sense is that most users don't want network share support, hence it is not default.
