THe database formats of SQLite version 2 and version 3 are not compatible. You should not try to do anything with a 3.x library on a 2.x database. Sorry. The format and libraries for version 3 were launched in 2004 so anything done with version 2 is now at least 5 years old. While I have never seen anyone say that all support for version 2 will be discontinued, your format hasn't been worked on for 5 years and you might consider moving up to version 3 sometime. The conversion is not too difficult: use a version 2 shell tool to dump the file as SQL commands and use a version 3 shell tool to start an empty database and execute those commands to fill it with tables of data.
