Tom,

Because the file is the database, your preferences for how things are displayed are just that, your preferences. Don't combine the two. If you have two users with different preferences, who wins?

We move the SQLite database around all the time, across different servers. We do not want the preferences for one to affect another server.

After coming back to SQLite from a long absence, I was surprised that
setting things like .mode and .headers in a database didn't stay that way
after exiting the file.

Then I remembered something about a resource file and found .sqliterc on an
internet search and that allowed the persistent settings I wanted.

However, would it not be more natural to keep those settings persistent
inside the db file?

Thanks,
