SQLite file format backwards compatibility

[emansom]

In a talk (don't remember which one), it was mentioned that LumoSQL would be backwards compatible with the native SQLite file format in the future. Has this been achieved?

Hello @emansom , yes it has, in the sense that we have figured out how to do it, and the resulting databases appear to work with standard SQlite without any problem including passing a few tests. SQlite doesn't seem to mind if there is extra data in places it doesn't look. That's a very different thing from saying "this definitely works, we promise!". You can try this out with the prototype checksumming code.
