To expand a little on the previous answer, preparing a statement uses internal details of the tables it refers to. The 'prepared' version doesn't just refer to entity names, it exploits information about how the table is organised. So deleting a table invalidates all preparations which refer to it. So deleting the table causes the prepared statement to become invalid (you might call this 'fail') too. However, as DRH wrote, if you used sqlite3_prepare_v2() or _v3(), the next time the statement is used SQLite realises that the statement is no longer prepared and prepares it again. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
