SQLITE_E_NOTADB

SQLITE_E_NOTADB corresponds to SQLite SQLITE_NOTADB. SQLite opened a file but found that it is not a database file it can interpret.

Verify the resolved path; a common cause is opening a configuration file, an HTML error page, an empty placeholder, or the wrong environment database.
Check whether the application expects an encryption extension or a different SQLite-compatible engine that is missing at runtime.
Preserve the original file before recovery attempts and do not overwrite it by creating a new database at the same path.
