SQLite And 8+3 Filenames

The default configuration of SQLite assumes the underlying filesystem supports long filenames.

SQLite does not impose any naming requirements on database files. SQLite will happily work with a database file that has any filename extension or with no extension at all. When auxiliary files are needed for a rollback journal or a write-ahead log or for one of the other kinds of temporary disk files, then the name for the auxiliary file is normally constructed by appending a suffix onto the end of the database file name. For example, if the original database is call "app.db" then the rollback journal will be called "app.db-journal" and the write-ahead log will be called .html?lang=en"app.db-wal". This
