Thanks, that might be useful in some situations but not in this one. The use case is a very specific one in which a database may contain one-off overrides for a second, normally independent (but already opened) database. I can obviously implement this by reading rows from the first one and updating the second, but if I could briefly refer to both DBs at the same time, it would be just one 'atomic' SQL statement - much simpler and more robust. Still, it seems surprising that there isn't a (SQLite-specific) handle-level operation to do this attach, maybe I should put in a feature request. (Or even have a look in the SQLite code to see if it's an easy mod ...)
