To be clear: the value is the number of *bytes* in the value, not the number of characters. If the fourth parameter to sqlite3_bind_text() or sqlite3_bind_text16() is negative, then the length of the string is the number of bytes up to the first zero terminator." i.e. changing them to size_t would change the semantics and break and and all applications which rely on the current semantics (some of which are mine). See also: http://www.sqlite.org/limits.html which documents the 31-bit limit. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
