Point taken. :-) This actually looks like it might be fairly simple to me. Add a new error code in sqlite.h.in #define SQLITE_CANTOPENTEMP 27 /* Unable to create a temporary file */ Add a test for the returned error in sqlite3PagerOpentemp() in pager.c which changes the existing error code into the new error code. This seems to be the only place that creates temporary files (which are signaled by a NULL path pointer), so the fix is well localized. rc = sqlite3OsOpen(pPager->pVfs, 0, pFile, vfsFlags, 0); if( rc == SQLITE_CANTOPEN ) rc = SQLITE_CANTOPENTEMP; Add a case for the new error code in sqlite3ErrStr() in main.c case SQLITE_CANTOPENTEMP: z = "unable to create a temporary file"; break; And finally add suitable test cases. This step is left as an exercise for the reader. ;-) Dennis Cote _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
