Using Windows, with the database file (./db/test2.db) having it readonly attribute set: v3.33 .open<i>ing</i> reports >Error: unable to open database "./db/test2.db": unable to open database file As the file is not .open<i>ed</i>, .databases will not show anything. v3.34 .open<i>ing</i> reports no error & .databases shows >main: D:\SQLite32\db\test2.db r/o The difference in behaviour is that <b>v3.33 would NOT open a readonly database file</b> but v3.34 <b><u>does open</u> a readonly database file</b>.
