There is an issue that may be meant or not, but in my case is annoying. If you have have a schema like the following:

[code]
pragma foreign_key = on;
create table parent (
id integer,
a varchar,
primary key (id asc)
);
create table child (
id integer,
b varchar,
a integer,
primary key (id asc),
foreign key (a) references a (id) on delete cascade on update cascade
);
[/code]

When you try to delete a parent row (delete from parent where parent.id=?) it deletes all the childs referenced to this parent, but the method SQLite3::changes() is still returning 1, as if it only have deleted the parent.
