It has always been our intent that DDL statements should be transactional. Though, my natural reaction to questions such as you pose is to be non-committal so as to keep my options open. Let's just say that DDL statements in SQLite have always been transactional (from 2.0.0 onward) and we have no plans to change this. > I couldn't find any specs of that > behavior in documentation.

But then we would probably have to DETACH if you rolled back and we didn't want to do that. So for now, you have to do all of your ATTACHing and DETACHing outside of transactions. Nothing else jumps to mind. -- D.
