Be aware that the pysqlite dump implementation is incomplete in many ways. Some issues: - - Doesn't dump in a transaction so will have irregularities if things change during the dump - - Deletes the entire sqlite_sequence table instead of the entry for the table being dumped/restored - - Runs ANALYZE on all tables during restore if sqlite_stat1 exists (ignores later versions of stat), for every table restored - - Doesn't handle virtual tables (certainly can't restore them - probably chokes on backing them up) - - Messes up if any table names or columns have a double quote in their name (probably single quotes too) - - Doesn't disable foreign key processing during restore which can result in a huge mess - - Who knows how many other issues pysqlite's iterdump is 50 lines long. The APSW dump code (also in Python) is 230 lines, and the SQLite shell C code is about 200 lines. pysqlite is definitely missing many of the finer details.
