You fail to distinguish between "forwards compatible" and "backwards compatible". Upgrading your program from version X to version Y (with Y>X) should never cause your historical data to become unreadable. That's what "backwards compatible" means. Upgrading does not break stuff. SQLite is backwards compatible. -- D. Richard Hipp drh at sqlite.org
