Hi, I would like to file a bug report:
Using "PRAGMA temp_store_directory = 'directory-name';" with paths which contain non-ASCII characters doesn't work because SQLite reports the directory as not writable (SQLite.Net.SQLiteException: "not a writable directory"). We are setting the temp_store_directory to Windows' temp path which is by default the "C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Temp" folder. So if the user name of the logged-in user contains UTF-8 characters (e.g. "S?mez") executing the command "PRAGMA temp_store_directory = 'C:\Users\S?mez\AppData\Temp'; fails. When we took a look at the SQLite source code, this is where we suspect the issue: * pragma.c: case PragTyp_TEMP_STORE_DIRECTORY: / call to sqlite3OsAccess() * sqlite3OsAccess() calls xAccess() * xAccess() (used in rc = pVfs->xAccess(pVfs, zName, flags, &ret);) maps to winAccess on Windows which checks the file attributes for the readonly flag. * winAccess() calls winConvertFromUtf8Filename(), which seems to have an issue with UTF-8 characters in paths. Used SQLite version: sqlite-winrt81-3081002.vsix Applies to both WinRT (Windows 8.1 App) and .NET 4.5 Thanks, Michael Geier Graz, Austria
