You say that I shouldn't get a corrupt database when I pull the power, but I am consistently getting this. I am using SQLite version 2.8.9 using the C++ interface running on Windows XP Home. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

If you have an IDE hard drive that's caching writes, there's not much the OS and database software can do to prevent corruption on power loss. It's possible to avoid this with tagged queueing, but most drives don't support that. The FreeBSD folks tried to solve this by turning off write caching by default. Unfortunately, this hurt performance so much they had to turn it back on and just recommend SCSI drives for important data.
