Nor is it *file:*, it's just file: (file followed by colon, just like http: in URL) The first example didn't have it, and I added some emphasis since you missed it the first time around. But if you mail client is ascii-only, the emphasis shows up with the extra "stars". On Linux, just use single-quotes to avoid escaping the question mark. sqlite3 'file:path?mode=ro' I'd show you if the ancient SQLite3 on my RH6.5 wasn't so old it doesn't support multi-row inserts or URI filenames. --D
