Having Debug data isn't a concern for me (but maybe for others?), but not having a version number in SQLite.DLL is a bit of a pain. It means installers can't treat the DLL like every other DLL out there and instead need to rely on file timestamps which is not the greatest.
Doug -----Original Message----- From: sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Bill Pytlovany Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 12:05 PM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] I consider this a bug. Anyone else? I'm very pleased with sqlite3.dll for Windows and I mainly include it with my product because one of our features is to help users manage cookies. Since both Chrome and Firefox use SQLite I'm required to use sqlite3.dll to access their information. So thank you, thank you! I've asked this in the form of a question a couple of times but have yet to spark anyone's interest. So, let me ask if anyone else like me considers this to be a bug? Remove Debug Data The problem is the SQLite3.dll available online is compiled with all its debug information included. This makes the DLL 586 KB. While that certainly isn't bad, the main component of my application is only 400 KB. One of the main advantages I have over competitors in the security world is that my program has always been extremely small and fast for what it does. SQLite3.dll is the only file I include in my setup which I don't sign and is developed by a 3rd party. Can the download page include a distributable version without debug information or would this require paid support? Anyone else thinks this is a bug? Include Resource Info Not a bug but something I'd like to see included in SQlite3.dll is minimal Windows resource information. This would identify the source of SQLite and could even promote the consortium. I suspect Hwaci isn't a big fan of Windows but the standard convention is to include a company name, version and copyright information in a Windows EXE or DLL's resource block. Many programs including mine display this information and something as simple as not having a company name is often an indication of a suspicious or possible malware file. It will make my users more comfortable but you could also use it as a way to promote your company and SQLite. This is an area you could include your URL along with company name and version. Most Windows install packages access the version info from the resource block as a condition to install the sqlite3.dll file. Not having this data could cause an old version of the DLL to be install over top of a newer version. Thanks again, Bill Pytlovany BillP Studios 32 Sunnyside Rd.
