That seems to have worked, both in the new and old version of R. I'll do more 
unit testing on other files.

Thank you, Gabor.

sqldf is documented to use the sqliteImportFile defaults for file.format 
components.  It may be that RSQLite 1.0 has changed the default for header in 
sqliteImportFile.

Try replacing your statement that sets file.format with this:

attr(dor, "file.format") <- list(sep = sepChar, header = FALSE)
