Thanks all.  I'll keep on chugging with 3 then. :]

Richard, "Forever" is a long time.  Did you ever say that for version 2? ;)

SQLite3 is permanent and will not go away nor cease to be updated and
supported.

SQLite4 is not a replacement for SQLite3.  SQLite4 is an experimental
alternative to SQLite3.

Compare the recent development activity on the SQLite3 and SQLite4
repositories at:

  http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline
  http://www.sqlite.org/src4/timeline

Notice how SQLite3 is getting much more attention than SQLite4.

UNKNOWN.

It's not even feature-frozen yet.  It's more of a platform for testing ideas.  
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a couple of years.  I would be terribly 
surprised if it was three months.

Version 3 is in literally billions of products.  Pretty-much every smartphone, 
GPS unit and set-top box uses it.  Not to mention tablets and computers.  It's 
not going to go away overnight.

Re: [sqlite] ETA on version 4

[Sascha Sertel]

According to this http://sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/design.wiki SQLite 3
and 4 will be maintained in parallel, since version 4 brings some
fundamental changes that users might not want and/or agree with and
therefore prefer to stick with version 3.

I think that falls into the UNKNOWN category, as I'm sure that one day in
the future if there is sufficient critical mass on SQLite 4 and the version
3 user base is waning plans might be put into place to move the focus and
phase the older version out.
