<h2>SQL Features That SQLite Does Not Implement</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Rather than try to list all the features of SQL92 that SQLite does
|
|
support, it is much easier to list those that it does not.
|
|
Unsupported features of SQL92 are shown below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The order of this list gives some hint as to when a feature might
|
|
be added to SQLite. Those features near the top of the list are
|
|
likely to be added in the near future. There are no immediate
|
|
plans to add features near the bottom of the list.
|
|

puts "<tr><td valign=\"top\"><b><nobr>$name</nobr></b></td>"
|
|
puts "<td width=\"10\"> </th>"
|
|
puts "<td valign=\"top\">$desc</td></tr>"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {FOREIGN KEY constraints} {
|
|
FOREIGN KEY constraints are parsed but are not enforced.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {Complete trigger support} {
|
|
There is some support for triggers but it is not complete. Missing
|
|
subfeatures include FOR EACH STATEMENT triggers (currently all triggers
|
|
must be FOR EACH ROW), INSTEAD OF triggers on tables (currently
|
|
INSTEAD OF triggers are only allowed on views), and recursive
|
|
triggers - triggers that trigger themselves.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {Complete ALTER TABLE support} {
|
|
Only the RENAME TABLE and ADD COLUMN variants of the
|
|
ALTER TABLE command are supported. Other kinds of ALTER TABLE operations
|
|
such as
|
|
DROP COLUMN, ALTER COLUMN, ADD CONSTRAINT, and so forth are omitted.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {Nested transactions} {
|
|
The current implementation only allows a single active transaction.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {RIGHT and FULL OUTER JOIN} {
|
|
LEFT OUTER JOIN is implemented, but not RIGHT OUTER JOIN or
|
|
FULL OUTER JOIN.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {Writing to VIEWs} {
|
|
VIEWs in SQLite are read-only. You may not execute a DELETE, INSERT, or
|
|
UPDATE statement on a view. But you can create a trigger
|
|
that fires on an attempt to DELETE, INSERT, or UPDATE a view and do
|
|
what you need in the body of the trigger.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
feature {GRANT and REVOKE} {
|
|
Since SQLite reads and writes an ordinary disk file, the
|
|
only access permissions that can be applied are the normal
|
|
file access permissions of the underlying operating system.
|
|
The GRANT and REVOKE commands commonly found on client/server
|
|
RDBMSes are not implemented because they would be meaningless
|
|
for an embedded database engine.
