That’s a good catch. I’d there any way to tell which version of SQLite created the file? Aside from trial and error, I mean?

The version is stored in byte 96 of the header of the sqlite file[1].

I haven't looked but there will be some sqlite command to query it and I'm sure some viewer tools will display it as well.

You can print the version with this magical incantation:

    $ python -c 'import sys, struct; print(struct.unpack(">I", open(sys.argv[1], "rb").read()[96:100])[0])' foo.db

Recentish versions of file can show you the version:

    $ file example.db
    example.db: SQLite 3.x database, last written using SQLite version 3007017
