2017-05-22 (3.19.0)
- The SQLITE_READ authorizer callback is invoked once
with a column name that is an empty string
for every table referenced in a query from which no columns are extracted.
- When using an index on an expression, try to use expression values already
available in the index, rather than loading the original columns and recomputing
the expression.
- Enhance the flattening optimization so that it is able to flatten views
on the right-hand side of a LEFT JOIN.
- Use replace() instead of char() for escaping newline and carriage-return
characters embedded in strings in the .dump output from the command-line shell.
- Avoid unnecessary foreign key processing in UPDATE statements that do not
touch the columns that are constrained by the foreign keys.
- On a DISTINCT query that uses an index, try to skip ahead to the next distinct
entry using the index rather than stepping through rows, when an appropriate
index is available.
- Avoid unnecessary invalidation of sqlite3_blob handles when making
changes to unrelated tables.
- Transfer any terms of the HAVING clause that use only columns mentioned in
the GROUP BY clause over to the WHERE clause for faster processing.
- Reuse the same materialization of a VIEW if that VIEW appears more than
once in the same query.
- Enhance PRAGMA integrity_check so that it identifies tables that have two
or more rows with the same rowid.
- Enhance the FTS5 query syntax so that column filters
may be applied to arbitrary expressions.
- Enhance the json_extract() function to cache and reuse parses of JSON
input text.
- Added the anycollseq.c
loadable extension that allows a generic SQLite database connection to
read a schema that contains unknown and/or
application-specific collating sequences.
Bug Fixes:
- Fix a problem in REPLACE that can result in a corrupt database containing
two or more rows with the same rowid. Fix for ticket
f68dc596c4e6018d.
- Fix a problem in PRAGMA integrity_check that was causing a subsequent
VACUUM to behave suboptimally.
- Fix the PRAGMA foreign_key_check command so that it works correctly with
foreign keys on WITHOUT ROWID tables.
- Fix a bug in the b-tree logic that can result in incorrect duplicate answers
for IN operator queries. Ticket
61fe9745
- Disallow leading zeros in numeric constants in JSON. Fix for ticket
b93be8729a895a528e2.
- Disallow control characters inside of strings in JSON. Fix for ticket
6c9b5514077fed34551.
- Limit the depth of recursion for JSON objects and arrays in order to avoid
excess stack usage in the recursive descent parser. Fix for ticket
981329adeef51011052.
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2017-05-22 13:58:13 28a94eb282822cad1d1420f2dad6bf65e4b8b9062eda4a0b9ee8270b2c608e40"
- SHA3-256 for sqlite3.c: c30326aa1a9cc342061b755725eac9270109acf878bc59200dd4b1cea6bc2908
2017-03-30 (3.18.0)
2017-02-13 (3.17.0)
- Approximately 25% better performance from the R-Tree extension.
- Uses compiler built-ins (ex: __builtin_bswap32() or _byteswap_ulong())
for byteswapping when available.
- Uses the sqlite3_blob key/value access object instead of SQL
for pulling content out of R-Tree nodes
- Other miscellaneous enhancements such as loop unrolling.
- Add the SQLITE_DEFAULT_LOOKASIDE compile-time option.
- Increase the default lookaside
size from 512,125 to 1200,100
as this provides better performance while only adding 56KB
of extra memory per connection. Memory-sensitive
applications can restore the old
default at compile-time, start-time, or run-time.
- Use compiler built-ins __builtin_sub_overflow(), __builtin_add_overflow(),
and __builtin_mul_overflow() when available. (All compiler
built-ins can be omitted with the SQLITE_DISABLE_INTRINSIC compile-time
option.)
- Added the SQLITE_ENABLE_NULL_TRIM compile-time option, which
can result in significantly smaller database files for some
applications, at the risk of being incompatible with older
versions of SQLite.
- Change SQLITE_DEFAULT_PCACHE_INITSZ from 100 to 20, for
improved performance.
- Added the SQLITE_UINT64_TYPE compile-time option as an
analog to SQLITE_INT64_TYPE.
- Perform some UPDATE operations in a single pass instead of
in two passes.
- Enhance the session extension to support WITHOUT ROWID
tables.
- Fixed performance problems and potential stack overflows
when creating views from multi-row VALUES clauses with
hundreds of thousands of rows.
- Added the sha1.c
extension.
- In the command-line shell, enhance the ".mode" command so that it
restores the default column and row separators for modes "line",
"list", "column", and "tcl".
- Enhance the SQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ option so that it works
in WAL mode as long as the pages being read are not in the WAL file.
- Enhance the
LEMON parser generator
so that it can store the parser object as a stack variable rather than
allocating space from the heap and make use of that enhancement in
the amalgamation.
- Other performance improvements. Uses about 6.5% fewer CPU cycles.
Bug Fixes:
- Throw an error if the ON clause of a LEFT JOIN references tables
to the right of the ON clause. This is the same behavior as
PostgreSQL. Formerly, SQLite silently converted the LEFT JOIN
into an INNER JOIN. Fix for ticket
25e335f802dd.
- Use the correct affinity for columns of automatic indexes. Ticket
7ffd1ca1d2ad4ec.
- Ensure that the sqlite3_blob_reopen() interface can correctly
handle short rows. Fix for ticket
e6e962d6b0f06f46e.
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2017-02-13 16:02:40 ada05cfa86ad7f5645450ac7a2a21c9aa6e57d2c"
- SHA1 for sqlite3.c: cc7d708bb073c44102a59ed63ce6142da1f174d1
2017-01-06 (3.16.2)
- Fix the REPLACE statement for
WITHOUT ROWID tables that lack secondary indexes so that
it works correctly with triggers and foreign keys. This was a new bug
caused by performance optimizations added in version 3.16.0.
Ticket 30027b613b4
- Fix the sqlite3_value_text() interface so that it correctly
translates content generated by zeroblob() into a string of all
0x00 characters. This is a long-standing issue discovered after the
3.16.1 release by OSS-Fuzz
- Fix the bytecode generator to deal with a subquery in the FROM clause
that is itself a UNION ALL where one side of the UNION ALL is a view
that contains an ORDER BY. This is a long-standing issue that was
discovered after the release of 3.16.1. See ticket
190c2507.
- Adjust the sqlite3_column_count() API so it more often returns the same
values for PRAGMA statements as it did in prior releases, to
minimize disruption to applications that might be using that
interface in unexpected ways.
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2017-01-06 16:32:41 a65a62893ca8319e89e48b8a38cf8a59c69a8209"

release was published.
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2017-01-03 18:27:03 979f04392853b8053817a3eea2fc679947b437fd"

2017-01-02 (3.16.0)
2016-11-28 (3.15.2)
- Multiple bug fixes to the row value logic that was introduced in version 3.15.0.
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference in ATTACH/DETACH following a maliciously constructed
syntax error. Ticket
2f1b168ab4d4844.
- Fix a crash that can occur following an out-of-memory condition
in the built-in instr() function.
- In the JSON extension, fix the JSON validator so that it correctly rejects
invalid backslash escapes within strings.
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2016-11-28 19:13:37 bbd85d235f7037c6a033a9690534391ffeacecc8"
- SHA1 for sqlite3.c: 06d77b42a3e70609f8d4bbb97caf53652f1082cb
2016-11-04 (3.15.1)
- Added SQLITE_FCNTL_WIN32_GET_HANDLE file control opcode.
- Fix the VACUUM command so that it spills excess content to disk rather
than holding everything in memory, and possible causing an out-of-memory
error for larger database files. This fixes an issue introduced by
version 3.15.0.
- Fix a case (present since 3.8.0 - 2013-08-26)
where OR-connected terms in the ON clause of a LEFT JOIN
might cause incorrect results. Ticket
34a579141b2c5ac.
- Fix a case where the use of row values in the ON clause of a LEFT JOIN
might cause incorrect results. Ticket
fef4bb4bd9185ec8f.

- Added support for row values.
- Allow deterministic SQL functions in the WHERE clause of a partial index.
- Added the "modeof=filename" URI parameter on the unix VFS
- Added support for SQLITE_DBCONFIG_MAINDBNAME.
- Added the ability to VACUUM an ATTACH-ed database.
- Enhancements to the command-line shell:
- Add the ".testcase" and ".check" dot-commands.
- Added the --new option to the ".open" dot-command, causing
any prior content in the database to be purged prior to
opening.
- Enhance the fts5vocab virtual table to handle "ORDER BY term" efficiently.
- Miscellaneous micro-optimizations reduce CPU usage by more than 7%
on common workloads. Most optimization in this release has been on the
front-end (sqlite3_prepare_v2()).
Bug Fixes:
- The multiply operator now correctly detects 64-bit integer overflow
and promotes to floating point in all corner-cases. Fix for ticket
1ec41379c9c1e400.

statements. Fix for ticket
7b3328086a5c116c.
- Make sure the ORDER BY LIMIT optimization
(from check-in 559733b09e)
works with IN operators on INTEGER PRIMARY KEYs. Fix for ticket
96c1454c
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2016-10-14 10:20:30 707875582fcba352b4906a595ad89198d84711d8"
- SHA1 for sqlite3.c: fba106f8f6493c66eeed08a2dfff0907de54ae76
2016-09-12 (3.14.2)
- Improved support for using the STDCALL calling convention in winsqlite3.dll.
- Fix the sqlite3_trace_v2() interface so that it is disabled if either the
callback or the mask arguments are zero, in accordance with the documentation.
- Fix commenting errors and improve the comments generated on EXPLAIN listings
when the -DSQLITE_ENABLE_EXPLAIN_COMMENTS compile-time option is used.
- Fix the ".read" command in the command-line shell so that it understands
that its input is not interactive.
- Correct affinity computations for a SELECT on the RHS of an IN operator.
Fix for ticket 199df4168c.
- The ORDER BY LIMIT optimization is not valid unless the inner-most IN operator
loop is actually used by the query plan. Fix for
ticket 0c4df46116e90f92.
- Fix an internal code generator problem that was causing some DELETE operations
to no-op. Ticket ef360601
Hashes:
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2016-09-12 18:50:49 29dbef4b8585f753861a36d6dd102ca634197bd6"

2016-04-18 (3.12.2)
- Fix a backwards compatibility problem in version 3.12.0 and 3.12.1:
Columns declared as "INTEGER" PRIMARY KEY (with quotes around
the datatype keyword) were not being recognized as an
INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, which resulted in an incompatible database file.

2016-01-06 (3.10.0)
General improvements:
- Added support for LIKE, GLOB, and REGEXP operators on virtual tables.
- Added the colUsed field to sqlite3_index_info for use by
the sqlite3_module.xBestIndex method.
- Enhance the PRAGMA cache_spill statement to accept a 32-bit integer
parameter which is the threshold below which cache spilling is prohibited.
- On unix, if a symlink to a database file is opened, then the corresponding
journal files are based on the actual filename, not the symlink name.
- Added the "--transaction" option to sqldiff.
- Added the sqlite3_db_cacheflush() interface.
- Added the sqlite3_strlike() interface.
- When using memory-mapped I/O map the database file read-only so that stray pointers
and/or array overruns in the application cannot accidentally modify the database file.
- Added the experimental sqlite3_snapshot_get(), sqlite3_snapshot_open(),
and sqlite3_snapshot_free() interfaces. These are subject to change or removal in
a subsequent release.
- Enhance the 'utc' modifier in the date and time functions so that it is a no-op if
the date/time is known to already be in UTC. (This is not a compatibility break since
the behavior has long been documented as "undefined" in that case.)
- Added the json_group_array() and json_group_object() SQL functions in the
json extension.
- Added the SQLITE_LIKE_DOESNT_MATCH_BLOBS compile-time option.
- Many small performance optimizations.
Portability enhancements:
- Work around a sign-extension bug in the optimizer of the HP C compiler on HP/UX.
(details)
Enhancements to the command-line shell:
- Added the ".changes ON|OFF" and ".vfsinfo" dot-commands.
- Translate between MBCS and UTF8 when
running in cmd.exe on Windows.
Enhancements to makefiles:
- Added the --enable-editline and --enable-static-shell options
to the various autoconf-generated configure scripts.
- Omit all use of "awk" in the makefiles, to make building easier for MSVC users.
Important fixes:
- Fix inconsistent integer to floating-point comparison operations that
could result in a corrupt index if the index is created on a table
column that contains both large integers and floating point values
of similar magnitude. Ticket
38a97a87a6.
- Fix an infinite-loop in the query planner that could occur on
malformed common table expressions.
- Various bug fixes in the sqldiff tool.

(obscure and ill-formed)
CREATE TABLE statements the same as legacy. Fix for ticket
ac661962a2aeab3c331
- Fix a query planner problem that could result in an incorrect
answer due to the use of automatic indexing in subqueries in
the FROM clause of a correlated scalar subqueries. Fix for ticket
8a2adec1.

- Enhance the ROLLBACK command so that pending queries are allowed to continue as long
as the schema is unchanged. Formerly, a ROLLBACK would cause all pending queries to
fail with an SQLITE_ABORT or SQLITE_ABORT_ROLLBACK error. That error is still returned

Performance Enhancements:
- Many micro-optimizations result in 20.3% more work for the same number
of CPU cycles relative to the previous release.
The cumulative performance increase since version 3.8.0 is 61%.
(Measured using
cachegrind on the
speedtest1.c workload on
Ubuntu 13.10 x64 with gcc 4.8.1 and -Os. Your performance may vary.)
- The sorter can use auxiliary helper threads to increase real-time response.
This feature is off by default and may be
enabled using the PRAGMA threads command or the SQLITE_DEFAULT_WORKER_THREADS
compile-time option.
- Enhance the skip-scan optimization so that it is able to skip index terms that
occur in the middle of the index, not just as the left-hand side of the index.
- Improved optimization of CAST operators.
- Various improvements in how the query planner uses sqlite_stat4
information to estimate plan costs.
New Features:
- Added new interfaces with 64-bit length parameters:
sqlite3_malloc64(),
sqlite3_realloc64(),
sqlite3_bind_blob64(),
sqlite3_result_blob64(),
sqlite3_bind_text64(), and
sqlite3_result_text64().
- Added the new interface sqlite3_msize() that returns the size of a memory allocation
obtained from sqlite3_malloc64() and its variants.
- Added the SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS option to sqlite3_limit() and
PRAGMA threads command for configuring the number of available worker threads.
- The spellfix1 extension allows the application to optionally specify the rowid for
each INSERT.
- Added the User Authentication
extension.
Bug Fixes:
- Fix a bug in the partial index implementation that might result in an incorrect
answer if a partial index is used in a subquery or in a view.
Ticket 98d973b8f5.
- Fix a query planner bug that might cause a table to be scanned in the wrong direction
(thus reversing the order of output) when a DESC index is used to implement the ORDER BY
clause on a query that has an identical GROUP BY clause.
Ticket ba7cbfaedc7e6.
- Fix a bug in sqlite3_trace() that was causing it to sometimes fail to print
an SQL statement if that statement needed to be re-prepared.
Ticket 11d5aa455e0d98f3c1e6a08
- Fix a faulty assert() statement.
Ticket 369d57fb8e5ccdff06f1
Test, Debug, and Analysis Changes:
- Show ASCII-art abstract syntax tree diagrams using the ".selecttrace"
and ".wheretrace" commands in the
command-line shell when compiled with SQLITE_DEBUG, SQLITE_ENABLE_SELECTTRACE,
and SQLITE_ENABLE_WHERETRACE. Also provide the sqlite3TreeViewExpr() and
sqlite3TreeViewSelect() entry points that can be invoked from with the
debugger to show the parse tree when stopped at a breakpoint.
- Drop support for SQLITE_ENABLE_TREE_EXPLAIN. The SELECTTRACE mechanism provides
more useful diagnostics information.
- New options to the command-line shell for configuring auxiliary
memory usage: --pagecache, --lookaside, and --scratch.

still probably reduce the number of output rows.
- Estimate the sizes of table and index rows and use the smallest applicable B-Tree
for full scans and "count(*)" operations.
- Added the soft_heap_limit pragma.

and to compute a more accurate estimate for "Non-sequential pages"
- Refactor the implementation of PRAGMA statements to improve parsing performance.
- The directory used to hold temporary files on unix can now be set using
the SQLITE_TMPDIR environment variable, which takes precedence over the
TMPDIR environment variable. The sqlite3_temp_directory global variable
still has higher precedence than both environment variables, however.

from within the implementation of application-defined SQL functions if the
function is called by a SELECT statement that does not access any database table.
- Disable the use of posix_fallocate() on all (unix) systems unless the
HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE compile-time option is used.
- Update the ".import" command in the command-line shell to support multi-line
fields and correct RFC-4180 quoting and to issue warning and/or error messages
if the input text is not strictly RFC-4180 compliant.
- Bug fix: In the unicode61 tokenizer of FTS4, treat all private code points
as identifier symbols.
- Bug fix: Bare identifiers in ORDER BY clauses bind more tightly to output column
names, but identifiers in expressions bind more tightly to input column names.
Identifiers in GROUP BY clauses always prefer output column names, however.
- Bug fixes: Multiple problems in the legacy query optimizer were fixed by the
move to NGQP.

2013-05-20 (3.7.17)
- Add support for memory-mapped I/O.
- Add the sqlite3_strglob() convenience interface.
- Assigned the integer at offset 68 in the database header as the
Application ID for when SQLite is used as an application file-format.
Added the PRAGMA application_id command to query and set the Application ID.
- Report rollback recovery in the error log as SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_ROLLBACK.
Change the error log code for WAL recover from
SQLITE_OK to SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_WAL.
- Report the risky uses of unlinked database files and
database filename aliasing as SQLITE_WARNING messages in the error log.
- Added the SQLITE_TRACE_SIZE_LIMIT compile-time option.
- Increase the default value of SQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY to 50 and make sure
that it is honored in every place that a schema change might force a statement
retry.
- Add a new test harness called "mptester" used to verify correct operation
when multiple processes are using the same database file at the same time.
- Enhance the extension loading mechanism to be more flexible (while
still maintaining backwards compatibility) in two ways:
- If the default entry point "sqlite3_extension_init" is not present in
the loadable extension, also try an entry point "sqlite3_X_init" where
"X" is based on the shared library filename. This allows every extension
to have a different entry point, which allows them to be statically linked
with no code changes.
- The shared library filename passed to sqlite3_load_extension() may
omit the filename suffix, and an appropriate architecture-dependent
suffix (".so", ".dylib", or ".dll") will be added automatically.
- Added many new loadable extensions to the source tree, including
amatch, closure, fuzzer, ieee754, nextchar, regexp, spellfix,
and wholenumber. See header comments on each extension source file
for further information about what that extension does.
- Enhance FTS3 to avoid using excess stack space when there are a huge
number of terms on the right-hand side of the MATCH operator. A side-effect
of this change is that the MATCH operator can only accommodate 12 NEAR
operators at a time.
- Enhance the fts4aux virtual table so that it can be a TEMP table.
- Added the fts3tokenize virtual table to the full-text search logic.
- Query planner enhancement: Use the transitive property of constraints
to move constraints into the outer loops of a join whenever possible,
thereby reducing the amount of work that needs to occur in inner loops.
- Discontinue the use of posix_fallocate() on unix, as it does not work on all
filesystems.
- Improved tracing and debugging facilities in the Windows VFS.

in shared cache mode when one
database connection is closed while another is in the middle of a write
transaction.

- Avoid invoking the sqlite3_trace() callback multiple times when a
statement is automatically reprepared due to SQLITE_SCHEMA errors.
- Added support for Windows Phone 8 platforms
- Enhance IN operator processing to make use of indices with numeric
affinities.
- Do full-table scans using covering indices when possible, under the
theory that an index will be smaller and hence can be scanned with
less I/O.
- Enhance the query optimizer so that ORDER BY clauses are more aggressively
optimized, especially in joins where various terms of the ORDER BY clause
come from separate tables of the join.
- Add the ability to implement FROM clause subqueries as coroutines rather
that manifesting the subquery into a temporary table.
- Enhancements the command-line shell:

URI filenames.
- Avoid resetting the schema of shared cache connections when any one
connection closes. Instead, wait for the last connection to close before
resetting the schema.

This means that, unless
the PRAGMA legacy_file_format=ON statement is
run, newly created database files will be unreadable by version of SQLite
prior to 3.3.0 (2006-01-10). It also means that the descending indices
are enabled by default.
- The sqlite3_pcache_methods structure and the SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE

INTEGER PRIMARY KEY ON CONFLICT as long as the destination table is
initially empty.
- Enhanced the windows VFS so that all system calls can be overridden
using the xSetSystemCall interface.
- Updated the "unix-dotfile" VFS to use locking directories with mkdir()
and rmdir() instead of locking files with open() and unlink().
- Enhancements to the test_quota.c extension to support stdio-like interfaces
with quotas.
- Change the unix VFS to be tolerant of read() system calls that return
less then the full number of requested bytes.

instead of the old default of 512.
- In the TCL Interface, add the -uri option to the "sqlite3" TCL command
used for creating new database connection objects.
- Added the SQLITE_TESTCTRL_EXPLAIN_STMT test-control option with the
SQLITE_ENABLE_TREE_EXPLAIN compile-time option to enable the
command-line shell to display ASCII-art parse trees of SQL statements
that it processes, for debugging and analysis.
- Bug fix:
Add an additional xSync when restarting a WAL in order to prevent an
exceedingly unlikely but theoretically possible
database corruption following power-loss.

better support for chromium sandboxes.
- Increase the default size of a lookahead cache line from 100 to 128 bytes.
- Enhancements to the test_quota.c module so that it can track
preexisting files.

2011-06-23 (3.7.7)
2011-05-19 (3.7.6.3)
- Fix a problem with WAL mode which could cause transactions to
silently rollback if the cache_size is set very small (less than 10)
and SQLite comes under memory pressure.
2011-04-17 (3.7.6.2)
- Fix the function prototype for the open(2) system call to agree with
POSIX. Without this fix, pthreads does not work correctly on NetBSD.
- SQLITE_SOURCE_ID:

2011-04-13 (3.7.6.1)
- Fix a bug in 3.7.6 that only appears if the SQLITE_FCNTL_SIZE_HINT
file control is used with a build of SQLite that makes use of the
HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE compile-time option and which has

2011-04-12 (3.7.6)
- Added the sqlite3_wal_checkpoint_v2() interface and enhanced the
wal_checkpoint pragma to support blocking checkpoints.
- Improvements to the query planner so that it makes better estimates of
plan costs and hence does a better job of choosing the right plan,
especially when SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2 is used.
- Fix a bug which prevented deferred foreign key constraints from being
enforced when sqlite3_finalize() was not
called by one statement with a failed foreign key constraint prior to
another statement with foreign key constraints running.
- Integer arithmetic operations that would have resulted in overflow
are now performed using floating-point instead.
- Increased the version number on the VFS object to
3 and added new methods xSetSysCall, xGetSysCall, and xNextSysCall
used for doing full-coverage testing.
- Increase the maximum value of SQLITE_MAX_ATTACHED from 30 to 62
(though the default value remains at 10).
- Enhancements to FTS4:

2011-02-01 (3.7.5)
2010-12-07 (3.7.4)
2010-10-08 (3.7.3)
- Added the sqlite3_create_function_v2() interface that includes a
destructor callback.
- Added support for custom r-tree queries using application-supplied
callback routines to define the boundary of the query region.
- The default page cache strives more diligently to avoid using memory
beyond what is allocated to it by SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE. Or if
using page cache is allocating from the heap, it strives to avoid
going over the sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64(), even if
SQLITE_ENABLE_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT is not set.
- Added the sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64() interface as a replacement for
sqlite3_soft_heap_limit().
- The ANALYZE command now gathers statistics on tables even if they
have no indices.
- Tweaks to the query planner to help it do a better job of finding the
most efficient query plan for each query.
- Enhanced the internal text-to-numeric conversion routines so that they
work with UTF8 or UTF16, thereby avoiding some UTF16-to-UTF8 text
conversions.
- Fix a problem that was causing excess memory usage with large WAL
transactions in win32 systems.
- The interface between the VDBE and B-Tree layer is enhanced such that
the VDBE provides hints to the B-Tree layer letting the B-Tree layer
know when it is safe to use hashing instead of B-Trees for transient
tables.
- Miscellaneous documentation enhancements.
2010-08-24 (3.7.2)
2010-08-23 (3.7.1)
- Added new commands SQLITE_DBSTATUS_SCHEMA_USED and
SQLITE_DBSTATUS_STMT_USED to the sqlite3_db_status() interface, in
order to report out the amount of memory used to hold the schema and
prepared statements of a connection.
- Increase the maximum size of a database pages from 32KiB to 64KiB.
- Use the LIKE optimization even if the right-hand side string contains
no wildcards.
- Added the SQLITE_FCNTL_CHUNK_SIZE verb to the sqlite3_file_control()
interface for both unix and windows, to cause database files to grow in
large chunks in order to reduce disk fragmentation.
- Fixed a bug in the query planner that caused performance regressions
relative to 3.6.23.1 on some complex joins.
- Fixed a typo in the OS/2 backend.
- Refactored the pager module.
- The SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_SIZE compile-time option is now silently ignored.
The maximum page size is hard-coded at 65536 bytes.
2010-08-04 (3.7.0.1)
- Fix a potential database corruption bug that can occur if version 3.7.0
and version 3.6.23.1 alternately write to the same database file.
Ticket [51ae9cad317a1]
- Fix a performance regression related to the query planner enhancements
of version 3.7.0.
2010-07-21 (3.7.0)
- Added support for write-ahead logging.
- Query planner enhancement - automatic transient indices are created
when doing so reduces the estimated query time.
- Query planner enhancement - the ORDER BY becomes a no-op if the query
also contains a GROUP BY clause that forces the correct output order.
- Add the SQLITE_DBSTATUS_CACHE_USED verb for sqlite3_db_status().
- The logical database size is now stored in the database header so that
bytes can be appended to the end of the database file without corrupting
it and so that SQLite will work correctly on systems that lack support
for ftruncate().
2010-03-26 (3.6.23.1)
- Fix a bug in the offsets() function of FTS3
- Fix a missing "sync" that when omitted could lead to database
corruption if a power failure or OS crash occurred just as a
ROLLBACK operation was finishing.
2010-03-09 (3.6.23)
2010-01-06 (3.6.22)
- Fix bugs that can (rarely) lead to incorrect query results when
the CAST or OR operators are used in the WHERE clause of a query.
- Continuing enhancements and improvements to FTS3.

2009-12-07 (3.6.21)
- The SQL output resulting from sqlite3_trace() is now modified to include
the values of bound parameters.
- Performance optimizations targeting a specific use case from
a single high-profile user of SQLite. A 12% reduction in the number of
CPU operations is achieved (as measured by Valgrind). Actual performance
improvements in practice may vary depending on workload. Changes
include:
- The ifnull() and coalesce() SQL functions are now implemented
using in-line VDBE code rather than calling external functions, so that
unused arguments need never be evaluated.
- The substr() SQL function does not bother to measure the length
its entire input string if it is only computing a prefix
- Unnecessary OP_IsNull, OP_Affinity, and OP_MustBeInt VDBE opcodes
are suppressed
- Various code refactorizations for performance
- The FTS3 extension has undergone a major rework and cleanup.
New FTS3 documentation is now available.
- The SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE compile-time option fixed to make sure that
content is deleted even when the truncate optimization applies.
- Improvements to "dot-command" handling in the
Command Line Interface.
- Other minor bug fixes and documentation enhancements.
2009-11-04 (3.6.20)
- Optimizer enhancement: prepared statements are automatically
re-compiled when a binding on the RHS of a LIKE operator changes or
when any range constraint changes under SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2.
- Various minor bug fixes and documentation enhancements.
2009-10-30 (3.6.16.1)
2009-10-14 (3.6.19)

are disabled by default. Use the foreign_keys pragma to turn them on.
- Generalized the IS and IS NOT operators to take arbitrary expressions
on their right-hand side.
- The TCL Interface has been enhanced to use the
Non-Recursive Engine (NRE)
interface to the TCL interpreter when linked against TCL 8.6 or later.

- Refactor the internal representation of SQL expressions so that they
use less memory on embedded platforms.
- Reduce the amount of stack space used
- Fix an 64-bit alignment bug on HP/UX and Sparc
- The sqlite3_create_function() family of interfaces now return
SQLITE_MISUSE instead of SQLITE_ERROR when passed invalid
parameter combinations.
- When new tables are created using CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... the
datatype of the columns is the simplified SQLite datatype (TEXT, INT,
REAL, NUMERIC, or BLOB) instead of a copy of the original datatype from
the source table.
- Resolve race conditions when checking for a hot rollback journal.
- The sqlite3_shutdown() interface frees all mutexes under windows.
- Enhanced robustness against corrupt database files
- Continuing improvements to the test suite and fixes to obscure
bugs and inconsistencies that the test suite improvements are
uncovering.
2009-05-25 (3.6.14.2)

2009-05-19 (3.6.14.1)
2009-05-07 (3.6.14)
- Added the optional asynchronous VFS module.
- Enhanced the query optimizer so that virtual tables are able to
make use of OR and IN operators in the WHERE clause.
- Speed improvements in the btree and pager layers.
- Added the SQLITE_HAVE_ISNAN compile-time option which will cause
the isnan() function from the standard math library to be used instead
of SQLite's own home-brew NaN checker.
- Countless minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, new and
improved test cases, and code simplifications and cleanups.
2009-04-13 (3.6.13)
- Fix a bug in version 3.6.12 that causes a segfault when running
a count(*) on the sqlite_master table of an empty database. Ticket #3774.

-
2009-02-18 (3.6.11)
2009-01-15 (3.6.10)
- Fix a cache coherency problem that could lead to database corruption.
Ticket #3584.
2009-01-14 (3.6.9)

in a way that is backwards compatible but which might cause
compiler warnings.
- Added superfluous casts and variable initializations in order
to suppress nuisance compiler warnings.
- Fixes for various minor bugs.
2008-11-26 (3.6.6.2)

to support a wider range of embedded systems.
See 35to36.html for additional information.
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- All C-preprocessor macros used to control compile-time options
now begin with the prefix "SQLITE_". This may require changes to
applications that compile SQLite using their own makefiles and with
custom compile-time options, hence we mark this as a
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- The SQLITE_MUTEX_APPDEF compile-time option is no longer supported.
Alternative mutex implementations can now be added at run-time using
the sqlite3_config() interface with the SQLITE_CONFIG_MUTEX verb.
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- The handling of IN and NOT IN operators that contain a NULL on their
right-hand side expression is brought into compliance with the SQL
standard and with other SQL database engines. This is a bug fix,
but as it has the potential to break legacy applications that depend
on the older buggy behavior, we mark that as a
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- The result column names generated for compound subqueries have been
simplified to show only the name of the column of the original table and
omit the table name. This makes SQLite operate more like other SQL
database engines.
- Added the sqlite3_config() interface for doing run-time configuration
of the entire SQLite library.
- Added the sqlite3_status() interface used for querying run-time status
information about the overall SQLite library and its subsystems.
- Added the sqlite3_initialize() and sqlite3_shutdown() interfaces.

when a string without a zero-terminator is passed to "%.*s".
- Always convert IEEE floating point NaN values into NULL during
processing. (Ticket #3060)
- Make sure that when a connection blocks on a RESERVED lock that
it is able to continue after the lock is released. (Ticket #3093)
- The "configure" scripts should now automatically configure Unix
systems for large file support. Improved error messages for
when large files are encountered and large file support is disabled.
- Avoid cache pages leaks following disk-full or I/O errors
- And, many more minor bug fixes and performance enhancements....
2008-04-16 (3.5.8)
- Expose SQLite's internal pseudo-random number generator (PRNG)
via the sqlite3_randomness() interface

database connection handle that has invoked an application-defined
SQL function.
- New interface sqlite3_limit() allows size and length limits to be
set on a per-connection basis and at run-time.
- Improved crash-robustness: write the database page size into the rollback
journal header.
- Allow the VACUUM command to change the page size of a database file.
- The xAccess() method of the VFS is allowed to return -1 to signal
a memory allocation error.
- Performance improvement: The OP_IdxDelete opcode uses unpacked records,
obviating the need for one OP_MakeRecord opcode call for each index
record deleted.
- Performance improvement: Constant subexpressions are factored out of
loops.
- Performance improvement: Results of OP_Column are reused rather than
issuing multiple OP_Column opcodes.
- Fix a bug in the RTRIM collating sequence.
- Fix a bug in the SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE option that was causing
Firefox crashes. Make arrangements to always test SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE
prior to each release.
- Other miscellaneous performance enhancements.
- Other miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
2008-03-17 (3.5.7)

compound selects - introduced by the new VM code in version 3.5.5.
- ALTER TABLE uses double-quotes instead of single-quotes for quoting
filenames.
- Use the WHERE clause to reduce the size of a materialized VIEW in
an UPDATE or DELETE statement. (Optimization)
- Do not apply the flattening optimization if the outer query is an
aggregate and the inner query contains ORDER BY. (Ticket #2943)
- Additional OS/2 updates
- Added an experimental power-of-two, first-fit memory allocator.
- Remove all instances of sprintf() from the code
- Accept "Z" as the zulu timezone at the end of date strings
- Fix a bug in the LIKE optimizer that occurs when the last character
before the first wildcard is an upper-case "Z"
- Added the "bitvec" object for keeping track of which pages have
been journalled. Improves speed and reduces memory consumption, especially
for large database files.
- Get the SQLITE_ENABLE_LOCKING_STYLE macro working again on Mac OS X.
- Store the statement journal in the temporary file directory instead of
collocated with the database file.
- Many improvements and cleanups to the configure script
2008-02-06 (3.5.6)
- Fix a bug (ticket #2913)
that prevented virtual tables from working in a LEFT JOIN.
The problem was introduced into shortly before the 3.5.5 release.

- Add the new sqlite3_result_error_code() API and use it in the
implementation of ATTACH so that proper error codes are returned
when an ATTACH fails.
2008-01-31 (3.5.5)
- Convert the underlying virtual machine to be a register-based machine
rather than a stack-based machine. The only user-visible change
is in the output of EXPLAIN.
- Add the build-in RTRIM collating sequence.
2007-12-14 (3.5.4)
- Fix a critical bug in UPDATE or DELETE that occurs when an
OR REPLACE clause or a trigger causes rows in the same table to
be deleted as side effects. (See ticket #2832.) The most likely
result of this bug is a segmentation fault, though database
corruption is a possibility.
- Bring the processing of ORDER BY into compliance with the
SQL standard for case where a result alias and a table column name
are in conflict. Correct behavior is to prefer the result alias.
Older versions of SQLite incorrectly picked the table column.
(See ticket #2822.)
- The VACUUM command preserves
the setting of the
legacy_file_format pragma.
(Ticket #2804.)

- Fix multiple bugs that can occur following a malloc() failure.
- sqlite3_step() returns SQLITE_MISUSE instead of crashing when
called with a NULL parameter.
- FTS3 now uses the SQLite memory allocator exclusively. The
FTS3 amalgamation can now be appended to the SQLite amalgamation to
generate a super-amalgamation containing both.
- The DISTINCT keyword now will sometimes use an INDEX if an
appropriate index is available and the optimizer thinks its use
might be advantageous.
2007-11-05 (3.5.2)
- Dropped support for the SQLITE_OMIT_MEMORY_ALLOCATION compile-time
option.
- Always open files using FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS under Windows.
- The 3rd parameter of the built-in SUBSTR() function is now optional.
- Bug fix: do not invoke the authorizer when reparsing the schema after
a schema change.

- Virtual machine stores 64-bit integer and floating point constants
in binary instead of text for a performance boost.
- Fix a race condition in test_async.c.
- Added the ".timer" command to the CLI
2007-10-04 (3.5.1)
- Nota Bene: We are not using terms "alpha" or "beta" on this
release because the code is stable and because if we use those terms,
nobody will upgrade. However, we still reserve the right to make
incompatible changes to the new VFS interface in future releases.
- Fix a bug in the handling of SQLITE_FULL errors that could lead
to database corruption. Ticket #2686.
- The test_async.c drive now does full file locking and works correctly
when used simultaneously by multiple processes on the same database.
- The CLI ignores whitespace (including comments) at the end of lines
- Make sure the query optimizer checks dependencies on all terms of
a compound SELECT statement. Ticket #2640.
- Add demonstration code showing how to build a VFS for a raw
mass storage without a filesystem.
- Added an output buffer size parameter to the xGetTempname() method
of the VFS layer.
- Sticky SQLITE_FULL or SQLITE_IOERR errors in the pager are reset
when a new transaction is started.
2007-09-04 (3.5.0) alpha
- Redesign the OS interface layer. See
34to35.html for details.
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- The sqlite3_release_memory(), sqlite3_soft_heap_limit(),

threads in the process, not just the single thread in which they
are invoked.
*** Potentially incompatible change ***
- Added the sqlite3_open_v2() interface.
- Reimplemented the memory allocation subsystem and made it
replaceable at compile-time.

compile-time.
- The same database connection may now be used simultaneously by
separate threads.
2007-08-13 (3.4.2)
- Fix a database corruption bug that might occur if a ROLLBACK command
is executed in auto-vacuum mode
and a very small sqlite3_soft_heap_limit is set.
Ticket #2565.

sqlite3_soft_heap_limit.
- Fix other minor problems with using small soft heap limits.
- Work-around for
GCC bug 32575.
- Improved error detection of misused aggregate functions.
- Improvements to the amalgamation generator script so that all symbols
are prefixed with either SQLITE_PRIVATE or SQLITE_API.
2007-07-20 (3.4.1)
- Fix a bug in VACUUM that can lead to
database corruption if two
processes are connected to the database at the same time and one
VACUUMs then the other then modifies the database.
- The expression "+column" is now considered the same as "column"
when computing the collating sequence to use on the expression.
- In the TCL language interface,
"@variable" instead of "$variable" always binds as a blob.
- Added PRAGMA freelist_count
for determining the current size of the freelist.
- The
PRAGMA auto_vacuum=incremental setting is now persistent.
- Add FD_CLOEXEC to all open files under Unix.
- Fix a bug in the
min()/max() optimization when applied to
descending indices.

- Use the macro SQLITE_PRIVATE (defaulting to "static") on all
internal functions in the amalgamation.
- Add pluggable tokenizers and ICU
tokenization support to FTS2
- Other minor bug fixes and documentation enhancements
2007-06-18 (3.4.0)
- Fix a bug that can lead to database corruption if an SQLITE_BUSY error
occurs in the middle of an explicit transaction and that transaction
is later committed. Ticket #2409.
See the
CorruptionFollowingBusyError wiki page for details.
- Fix a bug that can lead to database corruption if autovacuum mode is
on and a malloc() failure follows a CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX statement
which itself follows a cache overflow inside a transaction. See
ticket #2418.
- Added explicit upper bounds on the sizes and
quantities of things SQLite can process. This change might cause
compatibility problems for

a cache refill) unless another process changes the underlying
database file.

a transaction in exclusive access mode, or when committing the TEMP
database.

do an INSERT OR REPLACE or an UPDATE OR REPLACE on a table that
contains an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY plus one or more indices.
- Fix a bug in Windows locking code so that locks work correctly
when simultaneously accessed by Win95 and WinNT systems.
- Add the ability for INSERT and UPDATE statements to refer to the
"rowid" (or "_rowid_" or "oid") columns.

a database file.
- Added the ATTACH and DETACH commands to allow interacting with multiple
database files at the same time.
- Added support for TEMP triggers and indices.
- Added support for in-memory databases.
- Removed the experimental sqlite_open_aux_file(). Its function is
subsumed in the new ATTACH command.
- The precedence order for ON CONFLICT clauses was changed so that
ON CONFLICT clauses on BEGIN statements have a higher precedence than
ON CONFLICT clauses on constraints.
- Many, many bug fixes and compatibility enhancements.
2003-02-16 (2.8.0)
- Modified the journal file format to make it more resistant to corruption
that can occur after an OS crash or power failure.
- Added a new C/C++ API that does not use callback for returning data.
2003-01-25 (2.7.6)
- Performance improvements. The library is now much faster.
- Added the sqlite_set_authorizer() API. Formal documentation has
not been written - see the source code comments for instructions on
how to use this function.
- Fix a bug in the GLOB operator that was preventing it from working
with upper-case letters.
- Various minor bug fixes.
2002-12-28 (2.7.5)
- Fix an uninitialized variable in pager.c which could (with a probability
of about 1 in 4 billion) result in a corrupted database.
2002-12-17 (2.7.4)
- Database files can now grow to be up to 2^41 bytes. The old limit
was 2^31 bytes.
- The optimizer will now scan tables in the reverse if doing so will
satisfy an ORDER BY ... DESC clause.
- The full pathname of the database file is now remembered even if
a relative path is passed into sqlite_open(). This allows
the library to continue operating correctly after a chdir().
- Speed improvements in the VDBE.
- Lots of little bug fixes.
2002-10-31 (2.7.3)
- Various compiler compatibility fixes.
- Fix a bug in the "expr IN ()" operator.

- Added documentation on SELECT DISTINCT and on how SQLite handles NULLs.
- Fix a problem that was causing poor performance when many thousands
of SQL statements were executed by a single sqlite_exec() call.
2002-08-31 (2.7.1)
- Fix a bug in the ORDER BY logic that was introduced in version 2.7.0
- C-style comments are now accepted by the tokenizer.
- INSERT runs a little faster when the source is a SELECT statement.
2002-08-25 (2.7.0)
- Make a distinction between numeric and text values when sorting.
Text values sort according to memcmp(). Numeric values sort in
numeric order.
- Allow multiple simultaneous readers under Windows by simulating
the reader/writers locks that are missing from Win95/98/ME.
- An error is now returned when trying to start a transaction if
another transaction is already active.
2002-08-13 (2.6.3)
- Add the ability to read both little-endian and big-endian databases.
So a database created under SunOS or Mac OS X can be read and written
under Linux or Windows and vice versa.
- Convert to the new website: http://www.sqlite.org/
- Allow transactions to span Linux Threads
- Bug fix in the processing of the ORDER BY clause for GROUP BY queries

"ident" command and which contains the library version number.
- Fix an assertion failure that occurred when deleting all rows of
a table with the "count_changes" pragma turned on.
- Better error reporting when problems occur during the automatic
2.5.6 to 2.6.0 database format upgrade.
2002-07-18 (2.6.0)
- Change the format of indices to correct a design flaw the originated
with version 2.1.0. *** This is an incompatible
file format change *** When version 2.6.0 or later of the
library attempts to open a database file created by version 2.5.6 or
earlier, it will automatically and irreversibly convert the file format.
Make backup copies of older database files before opening them with
version 2.6.0 of the library.
2002-07-07 (2.5.6)
- Fix more problems with rollback. Enhance the test suite to exercise
the rollback logic extensively in order to prevent any future problems.
2002-07-06 (2.5.5)
- Fix a bug which could cause database corruption during a rollback.
This bugs was introduced in version 2.4.0 by the freelist
optimization of checkin [410].
- Fix a bug in aggregate functions for VIEWs.
- Other minor changes and enhancements.
2002-07-01 (2.5.4)
- Make the "AS" keyword optional again.
- The datatype of columns now appear in the 4th argument to the
callback.
- Added the sqlite_open_aux_file() API, though it is still
mostly undocumented and untested.
- Added additional test cases and fixed a few bugs that those
test cases found.
2002-06-25 (2.5.3)
- Bug fix: Database corruption can occur due to the optimization
that was introduced in version 2.4.0 (check-in [410]). The problem
should now be fixed. The use of versions 2.4.0 through 2.5.2 is
not recommended.
2002-06-25 (2.5.2)
- Added the new SQLITE_TEMP_MASTER table which records the schema
for temporary tables in the same way that SQLITE_MASTER does for
persistent tables.
- Added an optimization to UNION ALL
- Fixed a bug in the processing of LEFT OUTER JOIN
- The LIMIT clause now works on subselects
- ORDER BY works on subselects
- There is a new TypeOf() function used to determine if an expression
is numeric or text.
- Autoincrement now works for INSERT from a SELECT.
2002-06-19 (2.5.1)
- The query optimizer now attempts to implement the ORDER BY clause
using an index. Sorting is still used if not suitable index is
available.
2002-06-17 (2.5.0)
- Added support for row triggers.
- Added SQL-92 compliant handling of NULLs.
- Add support for the full SQL-92 join syntax and LEFT OUTER JOINs.

2002-05-10 (2.4.12)
- Added logic to detect when the library API routines are called out
of sequence.
2002-05-08 (2.4.11)
- Bug fix: Column names in the result set were not being generated
correctly for some (rather complex) VIEWs. This could cause a
segfault under certain circumstances.
2002-05-03 (2.4.10)
- Bug fix: Generate correct column headers when a compound SELECT is used
as a subquery.
- Added the sqlite_encode_binary() and sqlite_decode_binary() functions to
the source tree. But they are not yet linked into the library.
- Documentation updates.
- Export the sqlite_changes() function from Windows DLLs.
- Bug fix: Do not attempt the subquery flattening optimization on queries
that lack a FROM clause. To do so causes a segfault.
2002-04-22 (2.4.9)
- Fix a bug that was causing the precompiled binary of SQLITE.EXE to
report "out of memory" under Windows 98.
2002-04-20 (2.4.8)
- Make sure VIEWs are created after their corresponding TABLEs in the
output of the .dump command in the shell.
- Speed improvements: Do not do synchronous updates on TEMP tables.
- Many improvements and enhancements to the shell.
- Make the GLOB and LIKE operators functions that can be overridden
by a programmer. This allows, for example, the LIKE operator to
be changed to be case sensitive.
2002-04-12 (2.4.7)
- Add the ability to put TABLE.* in the column list of a
SELECT statement.
- Permit SELECT statements without a FROM clause.
- Added the last_insert_rowid() SQL function.
- Do not count rows where the IGNORE conflict resolution occurs in
the row count.
- Make sure functions expressions in the VALUES clause of an INSERT
are correct.
- Added the sqlite_changes() API function to return the number
of row that changed in the most recent operation.
2002-04-02 (2.4.6)
- Bug fix: Correctly handle terms in the WHERE clause of a join that
do not contain a comparison operator.
2002-04-02 (2.4.5)
- Bug fix: Correctly handle functions that appear in the WHERE clause
of a join.
- When the PRAGMA vdbe_trace=ON is set, correctly print the P3 operand
value when it is a pointer to a structure rather than a pointer to
a string.
- When inserting an explicit NULL into an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, convert
the NULL value into a unique key automatically.
2002-03-30 (2.4.4)
- Allow "VIEW" to be a column name
- Added support for CASE expressions (patch from Dan Kennedy)
- Added RPMS to the delivery (patches from Doug Henry)
- Fix typos in the documentation
- Cut over configuration management to a new CVS repository with
its own CVSTrac bug tracking system.
2002-03-23 (2.4.3)
- Fix a bug in SELECT that occurs when a compound SELECT is used as a
subquery in the FROM of a SELECT.
- The sqlite_get_table() function now returns an error if you
give it two or more SELECTs that return different numbers of columns.
2002-03-20 (2.4.2)
- Bug fix: Fix an assertion failure that occurred when ROWID was a column
in a SELECT statement on a view.
- Bug fix: Fix an uninitialized variable in the VDBE that would could an
assert failure.
- Make the os.h header file more robust in detecting when the compile is
for Windows and when it is for Unix.
2002-03-13 (2.4.1)
- Using an unnamed subquery in a FROM clause would cause a segfault.
- The parser now insists on seeing a semicolon or the end of input before
executing a statement. This avoids an accidental disaster if the
WHERE keyword is misspelled in an UPDATE or DELETE statement.
2002-03-11 (2.4.0)
- Change the name of the sanity_check PRAGMA to integrity_check
and make it available in all compiles.
- SELECT min() or max() of an indexed column with no WHERE or GROUP BY
clause is handled as a special case which avoids a complete table scan.
- Automatically generated ROWIDs are now sequential.
- Do not allow dot-commands of the command-line shell to occur in the
middle of a real SQL command.
- Modifications to the "lemon" parser generator so that the parser tables
are 4 times smaller.
- Added support for user-defined functions implemented in C.
- Added support for new functions: coalesce(), lower(),
upper(), and random()
- Added support for VIEWs.
- Added the subquery flattening optimizer.
- Modified the B-Tree and Pager modules so that disk pages that do not
contain real data (free pages) are not journaled and are not
written from memory back to the disk when they change. This does not
impact database integrity, since the
pages contain no real data, but it does make large INSERT operations
about 2.5 times faster and large DELETEs about 5 times faster.
- Made the CACHE_SIZE pragma persistent
- Added the SYNCHRONOUS pragma
- Fixed a bug that was causing updates to fail inside of transactions when
the database contained a temporary table.
2002-02-19 (2.3.3)
- Allow identifiers to be quoted in square brackets, for compatibility
with MS-Access.
- Added support for sub-queries in the FROM clause of a SELECT.
- More efficient implementation of sqliteFileExists() under Windows.
(by Joel Luscy)
- The VALUES clause of an INSERT can now contain expressions, including
scalar SELECT clauses.
- Added support for CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
- Bug fix: Creating and dropping a table all within a single
transaction was not working.
2002-02-14 (2.3.2)
- Bug fix: There was an incorrect assert() in pager.c. The real code was
all correct (as far as is known) so everything should work OK if you
compile with -DNDEBUG=1. When asserts are not disabled, there
could be a fault.
2002-02-13 (2.3.1)
- Bug fix: An assertion was failing if "PRAGMA full_column_names=ON;" was
set and you did a query that used a rowid, like this:
"SELECT rowid, * FROM ...".
2002-02-03 (2.3.0)
- Fix a serious bug in the INSERT command which was causing data to go
into the wrong columns if the data source was a SELECT and the INSERT
clauses specified its columns in some order other than the default.
- Added the ability to resolve constraint conflicts is ways other than
an abort and rollback. See the documentation on the "ON CONFLICT"
clause for details.
- Temporary files are now automatically deleted by the operating system
when closed. There are no more dangling temporary files on a program
crash. (If the OS crashes, fsck will delete the file after reboot
under Unix. I do not know what happens under Windows.)
- NOT NULL constraints are honored.
- The COPY command puts NULLs in columns whose data is '\N'.
- In the COPY command, backslash can now be used to escape a newline.
- Added the SANITY_CHECK pragma.
2002-01-28 (2.2.5)
- Important bug fix: the IN operator was not working if either the
left-hand or right-hand side was derived from an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY.
- Do not escape the backslash '\' character in the output of the
sqlite command-line access program.
2002-01-22 (2.2.4)
- The label to the right of an AS in the column list of a SELECT can now
be used as part of an expression in the WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and/or
HAVING clauses.
- Fix a bug in the -separator command-line option to the sqlite
command.
- Fix a problem with the sort order when comparing upper-case strings against
characters greater than 'Z' but less than 'a'.
- Report an error if an ORDER BY or GROUP BY expression is constant.
2002-01-16 (2.2.3)
- Fix warning messages in VC++ 7.0. (Patches from nicolas352001)
- Make the library thread-safe. (The code is there and appears to work
but has not been stressed.)
- Added the new sqlite_last_insert_rowid() API function.
2002-01-14 (2.2.2)
- Bug fix: An assertion was failing when a temporary table with an index
had the same name as a permanent table created by a separate process.
- Bug fix: Updates to tables containing an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY and an
index could fail.
2002-01-09 (2.2.1)
- Bug fix: An attempt to delete a single row of a table with a WHERE
clause of "ROWID=x" when no such rowid exists was causing an error.
- Bug fix: Passing in a NULL as the 3rd parameter to sqlite_open()
would sometimes cause a coredump.
- Bug fix: DROP TABLE followed by a CREATE TABLE with the same name all
within a single transaction was causing a coredump.
- Makefile updates from A. Rottmann
2001-12-22 (2.2.0)
- Columns of type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY are actually used as the primary
key in underlying B-Tree representation of the table.
- Several obscure, unrelated bugs were found and fixed while
implemented the integer primary key change of the previous bullet.
- Added the ability to specify "*" as part of a larger column list in
the result section of a SELECT statement. For example:
"SELECT rowid, * FROM table1;".
- Updates to comments and documentation.
2001-12-15 (2.1.7)
- Fix a bug in CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE which was causing the
table to be initially allocated in the main database file instead
of in the separate temporary file. This bug could cause the library
to suffer an assertion failure and it could cause "page leaks" in the
main database file.
- Fix a bug in the b-tree subsystem that could sometimes cause the first
row of a table to be repeated during a database scan.
2001-12-14 (2.1.6)
- Fix the locking mechanism yet again to prevent
sqlite_exec() from returning SQLITE_PROTOCOL
unnecessarily. This time the bug was a race condition in
the locking code. This change affects both POSIX and Windows users.
2001-12-06 (2.1.5)
- Fix for another problem (unrelated to the one fixed in 2.1.4)
that sometimes causes sqlite_exec() to return SQLITE_PROTOCOL
unnecessarily. This time the bug was
in the POSIX locking code and should not effect Windows users.
2001-12-05 (2.1.4)
- Sometimes sqlite_exec() would return SQLITE_PROTOCOL when it
should have returned SQLITE_BUSY.
- The fix to the previous bug uncovered a deadlock which was also
fixed.
- Add the ability to put a single .command in the second argument
of the sqlite shell
- Updates to the FAQ
2001-11-24 (2.1.3)
- Fix the behavior of comparison operators
(ex: "<", "==", etc.)
so that they are consistent with the order of entries in an index.
- Correct handling of integers in SQL expressions that are larger than
what can be represented by the machine integer.
2001-11-23 (2.1.2)
- Changes to support 64-bit architectures.
- Fix a bug in the locking protocol.
- Fix a bug that could (rarely) cause the database to become
unreadable after a DROP TABLE due to corruption to the SQLITE_MASTER
table.
- Change the code so that version 2.1.1 databases that were rendered
unreadable by the above bug can be read by this version of
the library even though the SQLITE_MASTER table is (slightly)
corrupted.
2001-11-13 (2.1.1)
- Bug fix: Sometimes arbitrary strings were passed to the callback
function when the actual value of a column was NULL.
2001-11-12 (2.1.0)
- Change the format of data records so that records up to 16MB in size
can be stored.
- Change the format of indices to allow for better query optimization.
- Implement the "LIMIT ... OFFSET ..." clause on SELECT statements.
2001-11-03 (2.0.8)
- Made selected parameters in API functions const. This should
be fully backwards compatible.
- Documentation updates
- Simplify the design of the VDBE by restricting the number of sorters
and lists to 1.
In practice, no more than one sorter and one list was ever used anyhow.
2001-10-22 (2.0.7)
- Any UTF-8 character or ISO8859 character can be used as part of
an identifier.
- Patches from Christian Werner to improve ODBC compatibility and to
fix a bug in the round() function.
- Plug some memory leaks that use to occur if malloc() failed.
We have been and continue to be memory leak free as long as
malloc() works.
- Changes to some test scripts so that they work on Windows in
addition to Unix.
2001-10-19 (2.0.6)
- Added the EMPTY_RESULT_CALLBACKS pragma
- Support for UTF-8 and ISO8859 characters in column and table names.
- Bug fix: Compute correct table names with the FULL_COLUMN_NAMES pragma
is turned on.
2001-10-15 (2.0.5)
- Added the COUNT_CHANGES pragma.
- Changes to the FULL_COLUMN_NAMES pragma to help out the ODBC driver.
- Bug fix: "SELECT count(*)" was returning NULL for empty tables.
Now it returns 0.
2001-10-13 (2.0.4)
- Bug fix: an obscure and relatively harmless bug was causing one of
the tests to fail when gcc optimizations are turned on. This release
fixes the problem.
2001-10-13 (2.0.3)
- Bug fix: the sqlite_busy_timeout() function was delaying 1000
times too long before failing.
- Bug fix: an assertion was failing if the disk holding the database
file became full or stopped accepting writes for some other reason.
New tests were added to detect similar problems in the future.
- Added new operators: & (bitwise-and)
| (bitwise-or), ~ (ones-complement),
<< (shift left), >> (shift right).
- Added new functions: round() and abs().
2001-10-09 (2.0.2)
- Fix two bugs in the locking protocol. (One was masking the other.)
- Removed some unused "#include " that were causing problems
for VC++.
- Fixed sqlite.h so that it is usable from C++
- Added the FULL_COLUMN_NAMES pragma. When set to "ON", the names of
columns are reported back as TABLE.COLUMN instead of just COLUMN.
- Added the TABLE_INFO() and INDEX_INFO() pragmas to help support the
ODBC interface.
- Added support for TEMPORARY tables and indices.
2001-10-02 (2.0.1)
- Remove some C++ style comments from btree.c so that it will compile
using compilers other than gcc.
- The ".dump" output from the shell does not work if there are embedded
newlines anywhere in the data. This is an old bug that was carried
forward from version 1.0. To fix it, the ".dump" output no longer
uses the COPY command. It instead generates INSERT statements.
- Extend the expression syntax to support "expr NOT NULL" (with a
space between the "NOT" and the "NULL") in addition to "expr NOTNULL"
(with no space).
2001-09-28 (2.0.0)
- Automatically build binaries for Linux and Windows and put them on
the website.
2001-09-28 (2.0-alpha-4)
- Incorporate makefile patches form A. Rottmann to use LIBTOOL
2001-09-27 (2.0-alpha-3)
- SQLite now honors the UNIQUE keyword in CREATE UNIQUE INDEX. Primary
keys are required to be unique.
- File format changed back to what it was for alpha-1
- Fixes to the rollback and locking behavior
2001-09-20 (2.0-alpha-2)
- Initial release of version 2.0. The idea of renaming the library
to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
bumping the major version number.
- The pager and btree subsystems added back. They are now the only
available backend.
- The Dbbe abstraction and the GDBM and memory drivers were removed.
- Copyright on all code was disclaimed. The library is now in the
public domain.
2001-07-23 (1.0.32)
- Pager and btree subsystems removed. These will be used in a follow-on
SQL server library named "SQLus".
- Add the ability to use quoted strings as table and column names in
expressions.
2001-04-15 (1.0.31)
- Pager subsystem added but not yet used.
- More robust handling of out-of-memory errors.
- New tests added to the test suite.
2001-04-06 (1.0.30)
- Remove the sqlite_encoding TCL variable that was introduced
in the previous version.
- Add options -encoding and -tcl-uses-utf to the
sqlite TCL command.
- Add tests to make sure that tclsqlite was compiled using Tcl header
files and libraries that match.
2001-04-05 (1.0.29)
- The library now assumes data is stored as UTF-8 if the --enable-utf8
option is given to configure. The default behavior is to assume
iso8859-x, as it has always done. This only makes a difference for
LIKE and GLOB operators and the LENGTH and SUBSTR functions.
- If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,
then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
back again is done inside the TCL interface.
2001-04-04 (1.0.28)
- Added limited support for transactions. At this point, transactions
will do table locking on the GDBM backend. There is no support (yet)
for rollback or atomic commit.
- Added special column names ROWID, OID, and _ROWID_ that refer to the
unique random integer key associated with every row of every table.
- Additional tests added to the regression suite to cover the new ROWID
feature and the TCL interface bugs mentioned below.
- Changes to the "lemon" parser generator to help it work better when
compiled using MSVC.
- Bug fixes in the TCL interface identified by Oleg Oleinick.
2001-03-20 (1.0.27)
- When doing DELETE and UPDATE, the library used to write the record
numbers of records to be deleted or updated into a temporary file.
This is changed so that the record numbers are held in memory.
- The DELETE command without a WHILE clause just removes the database
files from the disk, rather than going through and deleting record
by record.
2001-03-20 (1.0.26)
- A serious bug fixed on Windows. Windows users should upgrade.
No impact to Unix.
2001-03-15 (1.0.25)
- Modify the test scripts to identify tests that depend on system
load and processor speed and
to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning. No changes to
code.
2001-03-14 (1.0.24)
- Fix a bug which was causing
the UPDATE command to fail on systems where "malloc(0)" returns
NULL. The problem does not appear on Windows, Linux, or HPUX but does
cause the library to fail on QNX.
2001-02-20 (1.0.23)
- An unrelated (and minor) bug from Mark Muranwski fixed. The algorithm
for figuring out where to put temporary files for a "memory:" database
was not working quite right.
2001-02-19 (1.0.22)
- The previous fix was not quite right. This one seems to work better.
2001-02-19 (1.0.21)
- The UPDATE statement was not working when the WHERE clause contained
some terms that could be satisfied using indices and other terms that
could not. Fixed.
2001-02-11 (1.0.20)
- Merge development changes into the main trunk. Future work toward
using a BTree file structure will use a separate CVS source tree. This
CVS tree will continue to support the GDBM version of SQLite only.
2001-02-06 (1.0.19)
- Fix a strange (but valid) C declaration that was causing problems
for QNX. No logical changes.
2001-01-04 (1.0.18)
- Print the offending SQL statement when an error occurs.
- Do not require commas between constraints in CREATE TABLE statements.
- Added the "-echo" option to the shell.
- Changes to comments.
2000-12-10 (1.0.17)
- Rewrote sqlite_complete() to make it faster.
- Minor tweaks to other code to make it run a little faster.
- Added new tests for sqlite_complete() and for memory leaks.
2000-11-28 (1.0.16)
- Documentation updates. Mostly fixing of typos and spelling errors.
2000-10-23 (1.0.15)
- Documentation updates
- Some sanity checking code was removed from the inner loop of vdbe.c
to help the library to run a little faster. The code is only
removed if you compile with -DNDEBUG.
2000-10-19 (1.0.14)
- Added a "memory:" backend driver that stores its database in an
in-memory hash table.
2000-10-19 (1.0.13)
- Break out the GDBM driver into a separate file in anticipation
to added new drivers.
- Allow the name of a database to be prefixed by the driver type.
For now, the only driver type is "gdbm:".
2000-10-17 (1.0.12)
- Fixed an off-by-one error that was causing a coredump in
the '%q' format directive of the new
sqlite_..._printf() routines.
- Added the sqlite_interrupt() interface.
- In the shell, sqlite_interrupt() is invoked when the
user presses Control-C
- Fixed some instances where sqlite_exec() was
returning the wrong error code.
2000-10-11 (1.0.10)
- Added notes on how to compile for Windows95/98.
- Removed a few variables that were not being used. Etc.
2000-10-09 (1.0.9)
- Added the sqlite_..._printf() interface routines.
- Modified the sqlite shell program to use the new interface
routines.
- Modified the sqlite shell program to print the schema for
the built-in SQLITE_MASTER table, if explicitly requested.
2000-09-30 (1.0.8)
- Begin writing documentation on the TCL interface.
2000-09-29 (Not Released)
- Added the sqlite_get_table() API
- Updated the documentation for due to the above change.
- Modified the sqlite shell to make use of the new
sqlite_get_table() API in order to print a list of tables
in multiple columns, similar to the way "ls" prints filenames.
- Modified the sqlite shell to print a semicolon at the
end of each CREATE statement in the output of the ".schema" command.
2000-09-21 (Not Released)
- Change the tclsqlite "eval" method to return a list of results if
no callback script is specified.
- Change tclsqlite.c to use the Tcl_Obj interface
- Add tclsqlite.c to the libsqlite.a library
2000-09-14 (1.0.5)
- Changed the print format for floating point values from "%g" to "%.15g".
- Changed the comparison function so that numbers in exponential notation
(ex: 1.234e+05) sort in numerical order.
2000-08-28 (1.0.4)
- Added functions length() and substr().
- Fix a bug in the sqlite shell program that was causing
a coredump when the output mode was "column" and the first row
of data contained a NULL.
2000-08-22 (1.0.3)
- In the sqlite shell, print the "Database opened READ ONLY" message
to stderr instead of stdout.
- In the sqlite shell, now print the version number on initial startup.
- Add the sqlite_version[] string constant to the library
- Makefile updates
- Bug fix: incorrect VDBE code was being generated for the following
circumstance: a query on an indexed table containing a WHERE clause with
an IN operator that had a subquery on its right-hand side.
2000-08-18 (1.0.1)
- Fix a bug in the configure script.
- Minor revisions to the website.
2000-08-17 (1.0)
- Change the sqlite program so that it can read
databases for which it lacks write permission. (It used to
refuse all access if it could not write.)
2000-08-09
- Treat carriage returns as white space.
2000-08-08
- Added pattern matching to the ".table" command in the "sqlite"
command shell.
2000-08-04
- Documentation updates
- Added "busy" and "timeout" methods to the Tcl interface
2000-08-03
- File format version number was being stored in sqlite_master.tcl
multiple times. This was harmless, but unnecessary. It is now fixed.
2000-08-02
- The file format for indices was changed slightly in order to work
around an inefficiency that can sometimes come up with GDBM when
there are large indices having many entries with the same key.
** Incompatible Change **
2000-08-01
- The parser's stack was overflowing on a very long UPDATE statement.
This is now fixed.
2000-07-31
- Finish the VDBE tutorial.
- Added documentation on compiling to WinNT.
- Fix a configuration program for WinNT.
- Fix a configuration problem for HPUX.
2000-07-29
- Better labels on column names of the result.
2000-07-28
- Added the sqlite_busy_handler()
and sqlite_busy_timeout() interface.
2000-06-23
2000-06-21
- Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
No functional changes to the code.
2000-06-19
- Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.
This mistake has now been fixed.
2000-06-18
- Added the concatenate string operator (||)
2000-06-12
- Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter. The fcnt() function
returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
useful purpose, as far as I know.
- Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
The new tests did not uncover any new problems.
2000-06-08
- Added lots of new test cases
- Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases
- Begin adding lots of new documentation
2000-06-06
- Added compound select operators: UNION, UNION ALL,
INTERSECT, and EXCEPT
- Added support for using (SELECT ...) within expressions
- Added support for IN and BETWEEN operators
- Added support for GROUP BY and HAVING
- NULL values are now reported to the callback as a NULL pointer
rather than an empty string.
2000-06-03
- Added support for default values on columns of a table.
- Improved test coverage. Fixed a few obscure bugs found by the
improved tests.
2000-06-02
- All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are
now locked before any changes are made to any files.
This makes it safe (I think) to access
the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.
- The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".
2000-06-01
- Better support for file locking so that two or more processes
(or threads)
can access the same database simultaneously. More work needed in
this area, though.
2000-05-31
- Added support for aggregate functions (Ex: COUNT(*), MIN(...))
to the SELECT statement.
- Added support for SELECT DISTINCT ...
2000-05-30
- Added the LIKE operator.
- Added a GLOB operator: similar to LIKE
but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
and '_' wildcards of SQL.
- Added the COPY command patterned after
PostgreSQL so that SQLite
can now read the output of the pg_dump database dump utility
of PostgreSQL.
- Added a VACUUM command that calls the
gdbm_reorganize() function on the underlying database
files.
- And many, many bug fixes...
2000-05-29
- Initial Public Release of Alpha code
