This function returns the SQLite library version as an integer.
The number is in the form Mmmmppp
, with M
being the major version, m
the minor, and p
the point release. Smaller
steps are not included. The version number of SQLite v3.6.23.1
(and v3.6.23) is 3006023
.
This value is also available at compile time as the SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER
macro. By
comparing the macro used at compile time to the value returned
at runtime, an application can verify that it is linking against
a proper version of the library.
