That's all there is to it. v4 added a different encoding for integers that allows the values 0 and 1 to be stored with one less byte. There is also support for descending indexes, which I assume is just a simple flag in the index header. Of course, a significant amount of raw SQL is stored in the database file (like all the table, index, and view definitions). If you use newer features and SQL structures in your database, there may be other versioning issues. Just because the file format is backwards compatible doesn't always mean the database is. -j -- Jay A.
