This might be due to a truncated file." This indicates a file format error or possibly a hardware fault. A retry would not help. You should see this fault. Seeing this fault should worry you. I think one of the following is true: (A) your database is corrupt (and will fail PRAGMA integrity_check) (B) you are using a non-standard VFS layer and it is buggy (C) you are accessing the file across a network (D) you have a hardware fault. Not 100% sure about the hardware fault but it is something to consider. Simon.
