The native SQLite code bundled with System.Data.SQLite is not compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS option, which is required for the expression you are asking about to work properly.
Of course, it can always be recompiled if you have access to Visual C++, by editing one of the following files and recompiling the SQLite.Interop project: <root>/SQLite.Interop/props/sqlite3.vsprops (for VC++ 2008) <root>/SQLite.Interop/props/sqlite3.props (for VC++ 2010) Where <root> is the root of the source tree for System.Data.SQLite. -- Joe Mistachkin _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
