According to the file format document (http://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html): "[H30120] The 4 byte block starting at byte offset 44 of a well-formed database file, the schema layer file format, contains a big-endian integer value between 1 and 4, inclusive."
However it is possible to end up with this being zero, e.g. by dropping all tables/etc and then doing a VACUUM: # Assume vacked.db doesn't exist DOS-prompt>sqlite3 vacked.db SQLite version 3.6.14 Enter ".help" for instructions Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";" sqlite> create table foo (x, y); sqlite> insert into foo values(1, 2); sqlite> drop table foo; sqlite> vacuum; sqlite> ^Z This seems very much a corner case and I don't imagine this is a problem in practice; any concern about this number being when it is too high for the software opening the file, and as far as I can guess there is no "too low" problem -- however in my opinion differences between such documents and reality should always be reported, so here it is.
