No errors are returned. SQLite never notices that the database file has been renamed. In Unix, once a file is opened, the process only deals with the file descriptor. The underlying filename can change or even deleted (unlinked) and the application will never know. Note that renaming or unlinking a database file while it is being written, then killing the writer process or turning the power off, can corrupt the database file since it leave the associated journal file with a different name. See http://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html#unlink for additional information. -- D.
