> [...] there will never be an official x64 sqlite shell release [...] Really? Did I miss a post? Absence of response from Richard does not mean *never*. For the life of me, I don't see why a 64-bit shell would not be provided, eventually. Just yesterday I was surprised to read a 2019 embedded software survey pegging 64-bit CPUs at 15% in that market, and most desktop CPUs have been 64-bit for years now.
