Possibly more clearly: what are you hiding it from ?  People casually looking 
around in your file GUI ?  All other applications under all other circumstances 
?  All applications including your restore one unless you intentionally make 
the file visible first ?

If the backup file is hidden, you won't be able to restore from it.
I doubt that that is your goal.

What is your actual purpose for hiding this file?

Hiding a file is a function of your operating system, not SQLite.  Get some 
experience with hiding a simple text file.  Once you have that working, just do 
the same thing with hiding the SQLite database file.

I have backup of existing database. I just want to hide this backup
database.

If you hide it, SQLite will not be able to open it.
It would be easier to just delete the file.

What do you actually want to achieve?

There is no OS-independent way to hide files.
For that matter, several OSes cannot hide files at all.

What is your actual goal?

[sqlite] hide sqlite database

[dd]

Hi all,

   Is there any flag to create sqlite database in hidden mode? (chmod,
setfileattributes are os specific). I am looking for os independent. It
runs on 3 major desktop oss.

Thanks,
dd.
