<h2>About SQLite</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
SQLite is a small C library that implements a
|
|
self-contained, embeddable,
|
|
zero-configuration SQL database engine.
|
|
Features include:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul>
|
|
<li>Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID)
|
|
even after system crashes and power failures.
|
|
<li>Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.</li>
|
|
<li>Implements most of SQL92.
|
|
(<a href="omitted.html">Features not supported</a>)</li>
|
|
<li>A complete database is stored in a single disk file.</li>
|
|
<li>Database files can be freely shared between machines with
|
|
different byte orders.</li>
|
|
<li>Supports databases up to 2 terabytes
|
|
(2<sup><small>41</small></sup> bytes) in size.</li>
|
|
<li>Sizes of strings and BLOBs limited only by available memory.</li>
|
|
<li>Small code footprint: less than 30K lines of C code,
|
|
less than 250KB code space (gcc on i486)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="speed.html">Faster</a> than popular client/server database
|
|
engines for most common operations.</li>
|
|
<li>Simple, easy to use <a href="capi3.html">API</a>.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="tclsqlite.html">TCL bindings</a> included.
|
|
Bindings for many other languages
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteWrappers">
|
|
available separately.</a></li>
|
|
<li>Well-commented source code with over 95% test coverage.</li>
|
|
<li>Self-contained: no external dependencies.</li>
|
|
<li>Sources are in the <a href="copyright.html">public domain</a>.
|
|
Use for any purpose.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The SQLite distribution comes with a standalone command-line
|
|
access program (<a href="sqlite.html">sqlite</a>) that can
|
|
be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as
|
|
an example of how to use the SQLite library.

newsitem {2005-Mar-29} {Version 3.2.1} {
|
|
This release fixes a memory allocation problem in the new
|
|
<a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN</a>
|
|
command.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
newsitem {2005-Mar-21} {Version 3.2.0} {
|
|
The primary purpose for version 3.2.0 is to add support for
|
|
<a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN</a>.
|
|
The new ADD COLUMN capability is made
|
|
possible by AOL developers supporting and embracing great
|
|
open-source software. Thanks, AOL!
|
|
|
|
Version 3.2.0 also fixes an obscure but serious bug that was discovered
|
|
just prior to release. If you have a multi-statement transaction and
|
|
within that transaction an UPDATE or INSERT statement fails due to a
|
|
constraint, then you try to rollback the whole transaction, the rollback
|
|
might not work correctly. See
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1171">Ticket #1171</a>
|
|
for details. Upgrading is recommended for all users.
|
|

|
|
newsitem {2005-Mar-16} {Version 3.1.6} {
|
|
Version 3.1.6 fixes a critical bug that can cause database corruption
|
|
when inserting rows into tables with around 125 columns. This bug was
|
|
introduced in version 3.0.0. See
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1163">Ticket #1163</a>
|
|
for additional information.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
newsitem {2005-Mar-11} {Versions 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 Released} {
|
|
Version 3.1.4 fixes a critical bug that could cause database corruption
|
|
if the autovacuum mode of version 3.1.0 is turned on (it is off by
|
|
default) and a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX is executed within a transaction but
|
|
fails because the indexed columns are not unique. Anyone using the
|
|
autovacuum feature and unique indices should upgrade.
|
|
|
|
Version 3.1.5 adds the ability to disable
|
|
the F_FULLFSYNC ioctl() in OS-X by setting "PRAGMA synchronous=on" instead
|
|
of the default "PRAGMA synchronous=full". There was an attempt to add
|
|
this capability in 3.1.4 but it did not work due to a spelling error.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
newsitem {2005-Feb-19} {Version 3.1.3 Released} {
|
|
Version 3.1.3 cleans up some minor issues discovered in version 3.1.2.
