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 terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte-sized strings
|
|
and blobs. (See <a href="limits.html">limits.html</a>.)
|
|
<li>Small code footprint:
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SizeOfSqlite">
|
|
less than 250KiB</a> fully configured or less
|
|
than 150KiB with optional features omitted.</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 98% test coverage.</li>
|
|
<li>Available as a
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=TheAmalgamation">
|
|
single ANSI-C source-code file</a> that you can easily drop into
|
|
another project.
|
|
<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>
|

|
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.

|
|
While stress-testing the
|
|
<a href="capi3ref.html#sqlite3_soft_heap_limit">soft_heap_limit</a>
|
|
feature, a bug that could lead to
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=DatabaseCorruption">database
|
|
corruption</a> was <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=2565">
|
|
discovered and fixed</a>.
|
|
Though the consequences of this bug are severe, the chances of hitting
|
|
it in a typical application are remote. Upgrading is recommended
|
|
only if you use the
|
|
<a href="capi3ref.html#sqlite3_soft_heap_limit">sqlite3_soft_heap_limit</a>
|
|
interface.

newsitem {2007-Jly-20} {Version 3.4.1} {

This release fixes a bug in <a href="lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a> that
|
|
can lead to <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=DatabaseCorruption">
|
|
database corruption</a>. The bug was introduced in version
|
|
<a href="changes.html#version_3_3_14">3.3.14</a>.
|
|
Upgrading is recommended for all users. Also included are a slew of
|
|
other more routine
|

<a href="changes.html#version_3_4_1">enhancements and bug fixes</a>.

|
}
|
|
|
|
newsitem {2007-Jun-18} {Version 3.4.0} {
|
|
This release fixes two separate bugs either of which
|
|
can lead to database corruption. Upgrading
|
|
is strongly recommended. If you must continue using an older version
|
|
of SQLite, please at least read about how to avoid these bugs
|
|
at
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=CorruptionFollowingBusyError">
|
|
CorruptionFollowingBusyError</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=2418">ticket #2418</a>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release also adds explicit <a href="limits.html">limits</a> on the
|
|
sizes and quantities of things SQLite will handle. The new limits might
|
|
causes compatibility problems for existing applications that
|
|
use excessively large strings, BLOBs, tables, or SQL statements.
|
|
The new limits can be increased at compile-time to work around any problems
|
|
that arise. Nevertheless, the version number of this release is
|
|
3.4.0 instead of 3.3.18 in order to call attention to the possible
|
|
incompatibility.
|
|
</p>
|
|
There are also new features, including
|
|
<a href="capi3ref.html#sqlite3_blob_open">incremental BLOB I/O</a> and
|
|
<a href="pragma.html#pragma_incremental_vacuum">incremental vacuum</a>.
|
|
