     SQLite3 3.31.0 database engine
    ********************************

   Brand new SQLite3 library to be used with Delphi
  - FLEXIBLE: in process, local or remote access (JSON RESTFUL HTTP server)
  - STANDARD: full UTF-8 and Unicode, SQLite3 engine (enhanced but not hacked)
  - SECURE: tested, multi-thread oriented, atomic commit, encryption ready
  - SIMPLE: staticaly linked into a single Delphi unit (via SynSQLite3Static)
    or standard external dll - via TSQLite3LibraryDynamic
  - LIGHT: use native classes, not TDataSet nor TDataSource
  - SMART: queries share a JSON-based memory cache for immediate response
  - FAST: tuned pascal and i386 assembler code with use of FastMM4/SynScaleMM
  - FREE: full source code provided, with permissive licence

  - unitary tested with provided regression tests
  - includes RTREE extension for doing very fast range queries
  - can include FTS3 full text search engine (MATCH operator) after sqlite3.c
    recompile (by default, FTS3 is not compiled, saving more than 50KB of code)
  - uses only newest API (sqlite3_prepare_v2) and follow SQLite3 official documentation
  - uses purely UTF-8 encoded strings: Ansi/Unicode conversion routines included,
    Delphi 2009 ready (but Unicode works very well with older Delphi versions)
  - optional on the fly fast encryption of the data on disk
  - use an optional and efficient caching mechanism (TSynCache based) for the
    most used SELECT statements, using our TSQLTableJSON as fast data source
  - record retrieval from its ID is speed up via SQL statement preparation
  - uses ISO 8601:2004 format to properly handle date/time values in TEXT field
  - can be easily updated from official SQLite3 source code (see comments in
    the source code of this unit)
  - compiled without thread mutex: the caller has to be thread-safe aware
    (this is faster on most configuration, since mutex has to be acquired once):
    low level sqlite3_*() functions are not thread-safe, as TSQLRequest and
    TSQLBlobStream which just wrap them; but TSQLDataBase is thread-safe, as
    mORMot's TSQLTableDB/TSQLRestServerDB/TSQLRestClientDB which use TSQLDataBase
  - compiled with SQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE define
  - compatible with our LVCL 'Very LIGHT VCL routines' framework
    for building light but fast GUI servers software

  // it has handed data off to the operating system. If the application running
