SQLite database files are cross-platform. All you have to do is copy the file to the new machine. There is no separate "external format". The same database file format work on all platforms. I think the OP was asking what changes need to be made to SQLite in order to get it to compile and run on a platform other than the ones that are supported out of the box (unix, win32, os/2). Here is a quick summary: (1) Write a VFS implementation for the target platform. Use the os_unix.c, os_win.c, and os_os2.c files as a guide, if you like. See also the documentation on the sqlite3_vfs object. (2) Compile the amalgamation using -DSQLITE_OS_OTHER. This disables the built-in OS interface layer. (3) Before using SQLite in your application, call sqlite3_vfs_register() to install your alternative OS driver. D.
