In such situations, SQLite can be coerced into using auxiliary files that fit the 8+3 pattern as follows: </p> <ol> <li><p>Compile the SQLite library with the [SQLITE_ENABLE_8_3_NAMES] compile-time option. Support for 8+3 filenames is not included in SQLite by default because it does introduce some overhead. The overhead is tiny, but even so, we do not want to burden the billions of SQLite applications that do not need 8+3 filename support.</p> <li><p>Use [URI filenames] when [sqlite3_open | opening] or [ATTACH | ATTACH-ing] database files and include the "<tt>8_3_names=1</tt>" query parameter in the URI.</p> <li><p>Make sure that database filenames follow the 8+3 filename format and that they do not have an empty name or extension. In other words, the database filename must contain between 1 and 8 characters in the base name and between 1 and 3 characters in the extension. Blank extensions are not allowed.</p> </ol> <p> When the steps above are used, SQLite will shorten filename extensions by only using the last 3 characters of the extension. Thus, for example, a file that would normally be called "<tt>app.db-journal</tt>" is shortened to just "<tt>app.nal</tt>". |

The advantage of using a URI filename is that query parameters on the URI can be used to control details of the newly created database connection. For example, an alternative [VFS] can be specified using a "vfs=" query parameter. Or the database can be opened read-only by using "mode=ro" as a query parameter. </p> <h1>2.0 Backwards Compatibility</h1> <p> |
