Compile-Time Library Version Numbers

#define SQLITE_VERSION         "3.6.17"
#define SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER  3006017

The SQLITE_VERSION and SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER #defines in the sqlite3.h file specify the version of SQLite with which that header file is associated.

The "version" of SQLite is a string of the form "X.Y.Z". The phrase "alpha" or "beta" might be appended after the Z. The X value is major version number always 3 in SQLite3. The X value only changes when backwards compatibility is broken and we intend to never break backwards compatibility. The Y value is the minor version number and only changes when there are major feature enhancements that are forwards compatible but not backwards compatible. The Z value is the release number and is incremented with each release but resets back to 0 whenever Y is incremented.
