SQLite Version: 2.8.17 (not 3) I have a database that when I try to open it, either with the 'C' libraries or with the sqlite.exe command-line utility, gives me the error "file is encrypted or is not a database".
I opened the data file in a hex editor and noticed that the 48 byte header string has been changed. The header string, which is supposed to be "** This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database **" is instead, "** This file contains an sqlite 2.1 database **". The difference between the good and bad header is that the "SQL" in "SQLite" is all lower case. If I change the lower case "sql" to "SQL", the file opens and all data is intact! Looking at the source code in btree.c, line 794, the error returned is SQLITE_NOTADB when the comparison fails, which is exactly the error that I am seeing reported. What in the world could have caused this?? Thanks for any insight. Richard
