 can use both.
 
 Either way, this bug is still valid for the sqlite2 case--there is
 still a bug in retrieving the non-ascii values since they are
 obviously stored correctly in the DB as the native sqlite tool can
 retrieve them but mono can't.

+As a side note, it defaults to version 2 when both are present for
+whatever reason.
+
+In any case, I'm wondering if this is a bug outside of
+Mono.Data.Sqlite.  This returns null:
+
+  Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(Marshal.StringToCoTaskMemAnsi("ü"));
+
+I'll look into whether that's a bug.
+
+Mono.Data.SqliteClient with Sqlite2 uses ANSI encoding by default,
+which may not be good for F-Spot.  F-Spot should either give
+"encoding=UTF-8" in the connection string (that's new), or else use
+Sqlite3 ("version=3" in the connection string), which now uses Unicode.
