" Not quite :-) The CVSTRAC tracker has been closed and the replacement mechanism is described at http://www.sqlite.org/src/wiki?name=Bug+Reports In cases where it was obvious that the issue was a bug then I copied it over to the new one http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?n=200&y=t In cases like this one it is not necessarily a bug and I don't have enough knowledge to make the call. That is why the suggestion to take it up with this group where there are people familiar with the standard and the behaviour of other databases. > So here I am asking the question here: is this a bug or not? Which is exactly what we want to know :-) If the SQL standard specifies it then it is a very strong candidate for fixing. If all other databases do it then that is also strong. When only a subset do then that is not good. If it alters the behaviour compared to previous SQLite versions then breaking that backwards compatibility would require exceptionally compelling evidence.
