Hello, Thanks for your reply. I changed my code again:
1) rc = sqlite3_open(dbPath, &db); --> SQLITE_OK 2) rc = sqlite3_exec(db, "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS nosuchtable;", testCallbackPrint, 0, &zErrMsg); 3) rc = sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, "PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;", 24, &stmt, NULL); --> SQLITE_OK 4) rc = sqlite3_step(stmt); --> SQLITE_DONE 5) rc = sqlite3_exec(db, "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS nosuchtable;", testCallbackPrint, 0, &zErrMsg); 6) txt = sqlite3_column_text (stmt, 0); --> returns an empty string 7) rc = sqlite3_finalize(stmt); --> SQLITE_OK 8) rc = sqlite3_close(db); --> SQLITE_OK Repeated the same steps with 3) rc = sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, "PRAGMA journal_mode;", 24, &stmt, NULL); --> SQLITE_OK To my knowledge, at line 4 SQLITE_ROW instead of SQLITE_DONE should be returned. "These routines may only be called when the most recent call to sqlite3_step() has returned SQLITE_ROW and neither sqlite3_reset() nor sqlite3_finalize() have been called subsequently." It looks as if all PRAGMA instructions are completely ignored, since the query for the status of the JOURNAL_MODE returns no result. Is it possible that I have turned off PRAMAs by anything or something is missing, so PRAMAs can run?

By the way, you can also check the values returned from sqlite3_finalize() and sqlite3_close() since they can tell you useful things if something went wrong.
