Thanks for the details.  What programming language do you use?  (Dropbox
uses Python.)

Do you use WAL mode?

I'm also curious roughly what you do with your schema.  It looks like the
Dropbox on Android schema has elements of implementing a tree with
everything in one big table and no triggers.

Do you use any of SQLite's extensibilty such as adding your own collations
or user defined functions.

As you have large deployments, random stuff does happen.  We have a web
service with several requests per second from browsers all over the world
and sadly have to use HTTP (cough *IE* cough) rather than the SSL we
normally use.  Even though TCP/IP is checksummed there are sporadic
corruptions that come through (typically bit flips here and there).

8 years ago there were lots of CPU random errors:

Do you run an integrity check at startup on the database?  I did so with
BitPim, but we didn't have analytics so there was no idea how often
corruption happened.

There has been an open feature request for a while to have data checksums
to deal with the case that what SQLite thinks it wrote is not what is
later returned:
