>the SQLite packaged with Android is being upgraded to version 3.6.22 in Android 2.2. I think that the SQLite database corruption bug linked in comment 451 has been fixed in Android 2.2. So _if_ that's what's causing the text message database corruption and deletion, then this bug will probably be fixed in Android 2.2

>Statically link your application against SQLite 3.6.23 instead of using the SQLite 3.5.9 that is found on Android. The bug you are hitting was fixed in SQLite 3.6.2

Contrast https://web.archive.org/web/20110219041419/https://www.sqlit... (Feb 2011) vs. https://web.archive.org/web/20110729152833/https://www.sqlit... (July 2011), which could be a glitch in the Internet Archive (a partial copy of the oldest record?) but adds "Though SQLite is resistant to database corruption, it is not immune" and introduced an extensive history of known issues.

Sqlite is amazing and its development history is further testament to its current reliability, especially when used correctly!
