Maybe or maybe not. The error message returned by sqlite3_exec() might be more detailed. Depends on the error. > 2.

The error message from sqlite3_exec() is always obtained from a malloc-like memory allocator and must be freed using sqlite3_free(). The error message returned by sqlite3_errmsg() is always a constant, static string. The error messages might say the same thing, but they are distinct strings. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
