The second paragraph on that page implies that, although it is terse. The philosophy behind the numbering scheme is that the second number is incremented and the third set to zero whenever the format changes. Also, there are no other file format changes than listed in the table. Note that every one of them goes to a x.y.0 version, except 3.3.6 to 3.3.7, but that is four years ago and should not influence todays decisions. The list looks long, but please note the last two do not change the on-disk format, but just the OS interface layer. So, there are hardly any changes at all, and conversion from one to the other is really easy. That should convince him/her. -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
