The last bugs I see reported to SQLite from klocwork were in 2006.  They were 
both fixed long ago.

Klocwork has spotted a number of errors in the Android implementation of the 
SQLite library leading to error reports for Android developers.  An example of 
such a report is this:

<http://www.klocwork.com/products/documentation/current/Checkers:ANDROID.RLK.SQLOBJ>

Unfortunately no date is attached to this report so I can’t tell how old it is.

However, the bug (which really is a bug) is not in the SQLite API but in the 
Android library that calls the SQLite API.  The people responsible for fixing 
it are the developer team of the Android library, not the developer team of 
SQLite.

A quick look at every bug on

<http://www.klocwork.com/products/documentation/current/Java_checker_reference>

which includes 'SQL' suggests that all of them are bugs in the Android library 
not the SQLite API.  Most are failures to close queries but a couple are 
security concerns resulting from failing to check the return code from one API 
call before proceeding to another.  There are choices to be made in fixing them 
which are best left up those familiar with the inner workings of Android so I 
guess we’ll leave it to them.

If the problems you’re talking about are not mentioned above we’d love to know 
about them.  Unfortunately attachments cannot normally be used with this list.  
If you want us to see your bug and your content is text, can you please paste 
it directly into the body of a message ?  If your content is not text, could 
you put it on a server somewhere and post the URL ?  Or you could post the URL 
of an existing bug report.  Thanks.

Simon.
