<h1>SQLite Always Validates Its Inputs</h1>

<p>
SQLite should never crash, overflow a buffer, leak memory,
or exhibit any other harmful behavior, even with presented with
maliciously malformed SQL inputs or database files.  SQLite should
always detected erroneous inputs and raise an error, not crash or
corrupt memory.
Any malfunction caused by an SQL input or database file
is considered a serious bug and will be promptly addressed when
brought to the attention of the SQLite developers.  SQLite is
extensively fuzz-tested to help ensure that it is resistant
to these kinds of errors.

<p>
Applications that accept untrusted SQL inputs should take the following
precautions:

<ol>
<li><p>
Set the [SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE] flag.
This prevents ordinary SQL statements from corrupted the database
file.

<li><p>
Consider using the [sqlite3_set_authorizer()] interface to limit
the scope of SQL that will be processed.
</ol>

<h2>Untrusted SQLite Database Files</h2>

<p>Applications that accept untrusted database files should do the following:

<ol>
<li value="3"><p>
Run [PRAGMA integrity_check] or [PRAGMA quick_check] on the database
as first SQL statement after opening the database files and
prior to running any other SQL statements.  Reject and refuse to
process any database file containing errors.

<li><p>
Enable the [PRAGMA cell_size_check=ON] setting.
