My current 14.04 is at end-of-life, and I'll upgrade to 16.04 soon -- probably this weekend -- and get sqlite 3.8.17 automatically. I'm a hobbyist going solo with a lot of interests. This means I have to accept the concept of "good enough" or pare down my interests to those I can devote admin time to on a regular basis. Even more so when I haven't really decided to adopt the package yet. Works for me, but YMMV. -- #define QUESTION ((bb) || (!bb)) /* Shakespeare */ _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
