No correction, but I wanted to add something.

According to the theory of how SQL (not just SQLite, SQL) works, tables have no 
order.  You can, in theory, query a table of 100 rows with

SELECT a,b FROM MyTable LIMIT 5

ten times and get ten different answers, including different rows and/or the 
same rows in different orders.  Given some of the text in the post that started 
this thread, I just wanted to make sure this was understood.

In practise I have never seen a SQL engine which does this.  Each SQL 
implementation seems to return the same result every time you repeat the same 
query.  Though different SQL implementations can return different results.

You'd have thought that at least one server/client system would return five 
rows which happened to be in the cache, but I've never seen this.
