Hello,

I am using Tcl Extension (TEA) of SQLite inside an EDA tool which supports
TCL User Shell. I have a strange problem that SQLite version 3.7.10 is
downgraded to 3.5.9 when I load the necessary .so files. Due to this change
the backup and restore commands are probably causing a core dump in the EDA
tool execution.

I have to implement save and restore capability for the memory database
used in the application. Restore I have implemented using traditional
method to first attach the disk database and then copy all tables listed in
sqlite_master table. When I implement the same mechanism for saving the
memory database back to disk, the size of disk file is 4x of the original
disk file size.

What is the reason for this size increase? What can I do to avoid this file
size increase? A long pending question - Why the version is getting
downgraded to 3.5.9 ? The Tcl version is 8.4.x within the EDA tool. Also I
cannot find any SQLite libraries within the tool installation.

dbcmd eval "ATTACH DATABASE 'test_disk.db' AS copyto"
set tableNames [ dbcmd eval {SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type
= 'table'} ]
foreach tname $tableNames {
    dbcmd eval "CREATE TABLE copyto.$tname AS SELECT * FROM $tname"
}
