While you are correct that the action is "nonsensical" based on the
definition of the API, surely you can concede that in an environment (C
programming) where "argv" is an intrinsic part of every program thanks to
that name's standard use as a parameter to main, and where it is understood
to be defined as "char**" or equivalent, one might be forgiven for not
quite understanding the difference. Not everyone has the same understanding
of the SQLite API or C programming. I recall asking some really newbie
questions as a less experienced programmer.

I can appreciate why people on the list will get frustrated by people
asking questions without even trying to help themselves first. This
particular question seems like an honest misunderstanding of what argv
meant, not someone trying to get free homework "assistance" or software
consulting.
