Don't worry, Peter, I won't. I will speak up when something comes in that makes me go UGH, though. "this me" and the new "assert" syntax also come to mind. On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 5:11 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > So don't use it then :-) I'm happy to see SQLite catching up with other > SQL im

Just ran a stable in 6.5 iPad (1024 X 768) stack in the iOS 7 retina simulator. As is, it is scaled down to occupy the bottom left quarter of the simulator screen, but all objects are actually where they belong e.g. touching a button where it¹s rendered in the bottom left quarter doesn't work, but

I see in the release notes that the hope is to include the 3.8.3 version of the SQLite library in the final release of 6.6. One of the very cool new features in sqlite 3.8.3 is recursive SELECT statements. Think expanding a bill of materials or a manager/employee chart with one SELECT statement.
