Yep. Should be that easy. Just make, debug and test your scripts well before releasing them - and be sure the DB's against which they run are version-checked so that script for upgrading version 3 to version 4 doesn't get run on a version 1, 2 or 5 DB file. In my systems mostly I add SQL for upgrading every version to the next, so whatever version DB I encounter (and as long as I can deduce which version DB it is), I can simply walk it through the upgrades until the version is current. You can use PRAGMA user_version, see: https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_schema_version > > On a slight tangent, is there a way to verify database integrity? https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q21 https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_quick_check https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check
