I am very sorry to say that I have found the usage of the SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE option to be somewhat confusing.
From my first reading of https://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_26_0.html I thought SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE was a compile-time option. (I was proven wrong pretty quickly.) Then I found the following in https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html to be confusing: Looking at this entry: #define SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE 1010 /* int int* */ seems to indicate to me that I should pass 2 integer values after SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE in the sqlite_db_config() call (which I think is wrong). I found it especially confusing since the example code for SQLITE_DBCONFIG_RESET_DATABASE shows 2 integers after SQLITE_DBCONFIG_RESET_DATABASE. I think there should be example code for SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE that reads something like this: To activate the "defensive" flag for a database connection: sqlite_db_config(db, SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE, 1); I think it would be ideal if there would be a compile-time flag that would tell SQLite to enable the "defensive" flag by default whenever the application opens a database. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
