Re: [sqlite] SQLITE3_CANTOPEN

[sqlite] SQLITE3_CANTOPEN

There is a known problem, at least with NTFS, that deleting the journal file fails unexpectedly, resulting in sqlite3_cantopen. I believe I'm the one who originally reported this problem, but the installed solution isn't quite what I recommended. I'm not sure what OS/File System you are using,
