[sqlite] Maybe a typo in documentation...
Not sure where to report such things, so let's report here and have whoever concerned forward it where it belongs. Thanks. Within this page of documentation: https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html#btree I think the next sentence has a typo. (I "think", because english is not my native language). "Varints are big-endian: bits taken from the earlier byte of the varint are the more significant and bits taken from the later bytes." Shouldn't it read: "... are more significant than bits taken from the later bytes." ? The 'and' puzzles me. Oh, by the way, kudos for the technical documentation which is tight yet precise enough, even though a bit dispersed between multiple pages (but that's the purpose of hyper-links, so that's great). A pleasure to read and learn to get a good understanding of SQLite before deciding on using it (or not) for a specific purpose. -- Meilleures salutations, Met vriendelijke groeten, Best Regards, Olivier Mascia, integral.be/om

Typo fixed at https://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/info/1cc43dde6cdc5642 and the website has been updated. -- D. Richard Hipp drh at sqlite.org
