<li>Modified the journal file format to make it more resistant to corruption
|

that can occur after an OS crash or power failure.</li>

not been written - see the source code comments for instructions on
|
|
how to use this function.</li>

with upper-case letters.</li>

|
|
satisfy an ORDER BY ... DESC clause.</li>

a relative path is passed into sqlite_open(). This allows

the library to continue operating correctly after a chdir().</li>

segfault under certain circumstances.</li>

the source tree. But they are not yet linked into the library.</li>

|
|
<li>Many improvements and enhancements to the shell.</li>

value when it is a pointer to a structure rather than a pointer to

a string.</li>

the NULL value into a unique key automatically.</li>

its own CVSTrac bug tracking system.</li>

subquery in the FROM of a SELECT.</li>

give it two or more SELECTs that return different numbers of columns.</li>

in a SELECT statement on a view.</li>
|
|
<li>Bug fix: Fix an uninitialized variable in the VDBE that would could an
|
|
assert failure.</li>

for windows and when it is for unix.</li>

chng {2002 Mar 13 (2.4.1)} {

<li>Using an unnamed subquery in a FROM clause would cause a segfault.</li>

executing a statement. This avoids an accidental disaster if the
|
|
WHERE keyword is misspelled in an UPDATE or DELETE statement.</li>

chng {2002 Mar 10 (2.4.0)} {
|

<li>Change the name of the sanity_check PRAGMA to <b>integrity_check</b>
|

and make it available in all compiles.</li>
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>Automatically generated ROWIDs are now sequential.</li>
|
|
<li>Do not allow dot-commands of the command-line shell to occur in the
|
|
middle of a real SQL command.</li>
|
|
<li>Modifications to the "lemon" parser generator so that the parser tables
|
|
are 4 times smaller.</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for user-defined functions implemented in C.</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for new functions: <b>coalesce()</b>, <b>lower()</b>,
|
|
<b>upper()</b>, and <b>random()</b>
|
|
<li>Added support for VIEWs.</li>
|
|
<li>Added the subquery flattening optimizer.</li>
|
|
<li>Modified the B-Tree and Pager modules so that disk pages that do not
|
|
contain real data (free pages) are not journalled 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.</li>
|
|
<li>Made the CACHE_SIZE pragma persistent</li>
|
|
<li>Added the SYNCHRONOUS pragma</li>

<li>Fixed a bug that was causing updates to fail inside of transactions when
|
|
the database contained a temporary table.</li>

|
|
<li>More efficient implementation of sqliteFileExists() under Windows.

(by Joel Luscy)</li>

|
|
scalar SELECT clauses.</li>

transaction was not working.</li>

|
|
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.</li>

clauses specified its columns in some order other than the default.</li>

<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>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.)</li>

<li>NOT NULL constraints are honored.</li>

<li>The COPY command puts NULLs in columns whose data is '\N'.</li>

chng {2000 June 12} {
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
|
|
The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
|
|
}
|
|

|
chng {2000 June 8} {
|

<li>Added lots of new test cases</li>
|

<li>Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases</li>
|
|
<li>Begin adding lots of new documentation</li>

chng {2000 June 6} {
|
|
<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
|
|
<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>
|
|
<li>Added support for using <b>(SELECT ...)</b> within expressions</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for <b>IN</b> and <b>BETWEEN</b> operators</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for <b>GROUP BY</b> and <b>HAVING</b></li>
|
|
<li>NULL values are now reported to the callback as a NULL pointer
|
|
rather than an empty string.</li>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
chng {2000 June 3} {
|
|
<li>Added support for default values on columns of a table.</li>
|
|
<li>Improved test coverage. Fixed a few obscure bugs found by the
|
|
improved tests.</li>

chng {2000 June 2} {
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
chng {2000 June 1} {
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
}
|
|
|

chng {2000 May 31} {
|
|
<li>Added support for aggregate functions (Ex: <b>COUNT(*)</b>, <b>MIN(...)</b>)
|
|
to the SELECT statement.</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for <B>SELECT DISTINCT ...</B></li>
|
|
}
|
|

|
chng {2000 May 30} {
|
|
<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
|
|
<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B>
|
|
but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
|
|
and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
|
|
<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after
|
|
<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
|
|
can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
|
|
of PostgreSQL.</li>
|
|
<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that that calls the
|
|
<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
|
|
files.</li>
|
|
<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
