Thanks, Dan! With the correct path name for the lsm datastore, I can open it using the sqlite3 cli, and eventually hit an error inserting an additional line. So far, this has been a different error than my webapp has hit. You may be able to reproduce... by building lsm.so from a clone of [https://github.com/galgeek/sqlite-lsm1-lz4](https://github.com/galgeek/sqlite-lsm1-lz4) (my build commands are in the README) and loading lsm.so, and the datastore, and inserting one or more lines, as below. (lsm datastore: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fJFz9vdXaE8ehBqX5ARUN5toBhKBFaZc/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fJFz9vdXaE8ehBqX5ARUN5toBhKBFaZc/view?usp=sharing)) ``` baraherself@b-ma ~/D/sqlite3 > ./sqlite3 SQLite version 3.34.0 2020-09-01 19:02:52 Enter ".help" for usage hints.
