The binary file format for SQLite version 3 is (usually) the same
for all versions going back to version 3.0.0.  The exception is if
you use some of the newer features introduced in later versions,
then earlier versions of the library might not be able to read
the file.  But your schema does not appear to be using any advanced
features, so I think you will always be OK.

One of the key features of SQLite is that we work really hard
to preserve backwards compatibility of both API and file format.
