Version 3.1.6 of SQLite is now available on the website. This release fixes a critical bug that has been present since version 3.0.0. When constructing a record to insert into a table, if that header of that record was exactly 129 bytes in length, the length of the header was recorded as being only 128 bytes. This would result in a corrupt database file.
The length of a record header is roughly equal to the number of columns in the table, in most cases. Or the length might be a few bytes more - depending on the row content. So in order for the header length to come out to exactly 129 bytes, you would need to have a table with around 125 columns. SQLite is tested on tables with thousands of columns, but we never before tested on a table with just the right number of columns so this bug has gone undetected until now. Note that unless you are of a habit of constructing very wide tables, this error will probably not effect you. But upgrading is still a good idea. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
