| POPFile uses an SQLite database to hold essential information, such as the corpus used to classify the messages it handles. At present POPFile only works with SQLite 2.x libraries (it does not work with SQLite 3.x libraries). | POPFile uses an SQLite database to hold essential information, such as the corpus used to classify the messages it handles. POPFile versions 0.21.0 to 1.0.1 only work with SQLite 2.x libraries (none of these versions can work with SQLite 3.x libraries). |

| The SQLite library includes a simple command-line utility that allows the user to manually enter and execute SQL commands against an SQLite database. Databases built using SQLite 2.x libraries are not compatible with databases built using the SQLite 3.x libraries. Therefore there are separate command-line utilities: **''sqlite''** for SQLite 2.x format databases and **''sqlite3''** for SQLite 3.x format databases. | The SQLite library includes a simple command-line utility that allows the user to manually enter and execute SQL commands against an SQLite database.
