Hi,

When working on a bug in for the Yocto project, I've hit the limit on the database path length imposed by the Unis VFS : Simply, when a database path is more that 505 char long, sqlite fails to open it...

If I understood the code correctly, this is linked to : src/os_unix.c:179:

#define MAX_PATHNAME 512

• Can this be considered a bug?
• Is there any plan to increase this limit?
• Would you be wiling to accept a patch?

On Linux, there should be no problem to open a database with a long path (while staying below 4K char) but I really not know about the other Unixes...

Note: There is an old ticket closed as "Won't fix" about this : https://sqlite.org/cgi/src/tktview/c060923a5422590b3734
