the question of how to do a backup comes up a lot so this would be very nice. If it was added with a compile-time OMIT flag then there shouldn't be a big concern on bloating the library.

I'm thinking about this.. to get a 'exact' copy of a sqlite database we should implement a new public API: sqlite3 * sqlite3_clonedb(sqlite3 * db, const char * szOutput); sqlite3 * sqlite3_clonedb16(sqlite3 * db, const void * szOutput); // utf-16 version this api can do the real file copy without exposing any characteristics of the sqlite3 database (this db could be copied from / to :memory: databases on this way) and also deal with internal VFS driver intrinsics, such as sector size, and etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
