<a name="version_3_40_1"></a>
<h3>2022-12-28 (3.40.1)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Fix the <a href="cli.html#safemode">--safe command-line option</a> to the <a href="cli.html">CLI</a> such that it correctly disallows the
use of SQL functions like writefile() that can cause harmful side-effects.
<li> Fix a potential infinite loop in the <a href="malloc.html#memsys5">memsys5</a> alternative memory allocator. This
bug was introduced by a performance optimization in version 3.39.0.
<li> Various other obscure fixes.
<p><b>Hashes:</b>
<li>SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: 2022-12-28 14:03:47 df5c253c0b3dd24916e4ec7cf77d3db5294cc9fd45ae7b9c5e82ad8197f38a24
<li>SHA3-256 for sqlite3.c: 4d6800e9032ff349376fe612e422b49ba5eb4e378fac0b3e405235d09dd366ab
</ol></p>
<a name="version_3_40_0"></a>
<h3>2022-11-16 (3.40.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Add support for compiling <a href="https://sqlite.org/wasm">SQLite to WASM</a>
and running it in web browsers. NB: The WASM build and its interfaces
are considered "beta" and are subject to minor changes if the need
arises. We anticipate finalizing the interface for the next release.
<li> Add the <a href="recovery.html">recovery extension</a> that might be able to recover some content
from a corrupt database file.
<li> Query planner enhancements:
<ol type="a">
<li> Recognize <a href="queryplanner.html#covidx">covering indexes</a> on tables with more than 63 columns where
columns beyond the 63rd column are used in the query and/or are
referenced by the index.
<li> Extract the values of expressions contained within <a href="expridx.html">expression indexes</a>
where practical, rather than recomputing the expression.
<li> The NOT NULL and IS NULL operators (and their equivalents) avoid
loading the content of large strings and BLOB values from disk.
<li> Avoid materializing a view on which a full scan is performed
exactly once. Use and discard the rows of the view as they are computed.
<li> Allow flattening of a subquery that is the right-hand operand of
a LEFT JOIN in an aggregate query.
</ol>
<li> A new typedef named <a href="c3ref/filename.html">sqlite3_filename</a> is added and used to represent
the name of a database file. Various interfaces are
modified to use the new typedef instead of "char*". This interface
change should be fully backwards compatible, though it might cause
(harmless) compiler warnings when rebuilding some legacy applications.
<li> Add the <a href="c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_encoding()</a> interface.
<li> Security enhancement: <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE</a> is augmented to prohibit
changing the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_schema_version">schema_version</a>. The schema_version
becomes read-only in defensive mode.
<li> Enhancements to the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> statement:
<ol type="a">
<li> Columns in non-STRICT tables with TEXT affinity should not contain numeric values.
<li> Columns in non-STRICT tables with NUMERIC affinity should not
contain TEXT values that could be converted into numbers.
<li> Verify that the rows of a <a href="withoutrowid.html">WITHOUT ROWID</a> table are in the correct order.
</ol>
<li> Enhance the <a href="lang_vacuum.html#vacuuminto">VACUUM INTO</a> statement so that it honors the
<a href="pragma.html#pragma_synchronous">PRAGMA synchronous</a> setting.
<li> Enhance the <a href="c3ref/strglob.html">sqlite3_strglob()</a> and <a href="c3ref/strlike.html">sqlite3_strlike()</a> APIs so that they are able
to accept NULL pointers for their string parameters and still generate a sensible
result.
<li> Provide the new <a href="compile.html#max_allocation_size">SQLITE_MAX_ALLOCATION_SIZE</a> compile-time option for limiting
the size of memory allocations.
<li> Change the algorithm used by SQLite's built-in pseudo-random number generator (PRNG)
from RC4 to Chacha20.
<li> Allow two or more indexes to have the same name as long as they are all in
separate schemas.
<li> Miscellaneous performance optimizations result in about 1% fewer CPU cycles
used on typical workloads.

</ol></p>
<a name="version_3_39_4"></a>
<h3>2022-09-29 (3.39.4)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Fix the build on Windows so that it works with -DSQLITE_OMIT_AUTOINIT
<li> Fix a long-standing problem in the btree balancer that might, in rare cases,
cause database corruption if the application uses an
<a href="c3ref/pcache_methods2.html">application-defined page cache</a>.
<li> Enhance <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE</a> so that it disallows <a href="lang_createtrigger.html">CREATE TRIGGER</a>
statements if one or more of the statements in the body of the trigger write
into <a href="vtab.html#xshadowname">shadow tables</a>.
<li> Fix a possible integer overflow in the size computation for a memory allocation

<li> Revert the data layout for an internal-use-only SQLite data structure.
Applications that use SQLite should never reference internal SQLite
data structures, but some do anyhow, and a change to one such
data structure in 3.30.0 broke a popular and widely-deployed
application. Reverting that change in SQLite, at least temporarily,
gives developers of misbehaving applications time to fix their code.

<p><b>Performance:</b>
<li> <a href="lang_update.html">UPDATE</a> avoids unnecessary low-level disk writes when the contents

For example, "UPDATE t1 SET x=25 WHERE y=?" generates no extra
disk I/O if the value in column x is already 25. Similarly,
when doing <a href="lang_update.html">UPDATE</a> on records that span multiple pages, only
the subset of pages that actually change are written to disk.
This is a low-level performance optimization only and does not
affect the behavior of TRIGGERs or other higher level SQL
structures.
<li> Queries that use ORDER BY and LIMIT now try to avoid computing
rows that cannot possibly come in under the LIMIT. This can greatly
improve performance of ORDER BY LIMIT queries, especially when the
LIMIT is small relative to the number of unrestricted output rows.
<li> The <a href="optoverview.html#or_opt">OR optimization</a> is allowed to proceed
even if the OR expression has also been converted into an IN
expression. Uses of the OR optimization are now also
<a href="eqp.html#or-opt">more clearly shown</a> in the <a href="eqp.html">EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN</a> output.
<li> The query planner is more aggressive about using

<li> Added the <a href="rtree.html#rtreecheck">rtreecheck()</a> scalar SQL function to the <a href="rtree.html">R-Tree extension</a>.
<li> Added the <a href="c3ref/vtab_nochange.html">sqlite3_vtab_nochange()</a> and <a href="c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_nochange()</a> interfaces

</ol>
<li> Query planner enhancements:
<ol type='a'>
<li> The optimization that uses an index to quickly compute an
aggregate min() or max() is extended to work with
<a href="expridx.html">indexes on expressions</a>.
<li> The decision of whether to implement a FROM-clause subquery
as a co-routine or using <a href="optoverview.html#flattening">query flattening</a>
now considers whether
the result set of the outer query is "complex" (if it
contains functions or expression subqueries). A complex result
set biases the decision toward the use of co-routines.
<li> The planner avoids query plans that use indexes with unknown
collating functions.
<li> The planner omits unused LEFT JOINs even if they are not the
right-most joins of a query.
</ol>
<li> Other performance optimizations:
<ol type='a'>
<li> A smaller and faster implementation of text to floating-point
conversion subroutine: sqlite3AtoF().

<li> Use the strcspn() C-library routine to speed up the LIKE and
GLOB operators.
</ol>
<li> Improvements to the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a>:
<ol type='a'>
<li> The ".schema" command shows the structure of virtual tables.
<li> Added support for reading and writing
<a href="sqlar.html">SQLite Archive</a> files using
the <a href="cli.html#sqlar">.archive command</a>.
<li> Added the experimental <a href="cli.html#expert">.expert command</a>
<li> Added the ".eqp trigger" variant of the ".eqp" command
<li> Enhance the ".lint fkey-indexes" command so that it works with
<a href="withoutrowid.html">WITHOUT ROWID</a> tables.
<li> If the filename argument to the shell is a ZIP archive rather than
an SQLite database, then the shell automatically opens that ZIP
archive using the <a href="zipfile.html">Zipfile virtual table</a>.
<li> Added the <a href="cli.html#editfunc">edit() SQL function</a>.
<li> Added the <a href="cli.html#exexcel*">.excel command</a> to simplify exporting
database content to a spreadsheet.
<li> Databases are opened using

</ol>
<li> Enhance the <a href="compile.html#enable_update_delete_limit">SQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT</a> compile-time option so

<h3>2017-10-24 (3.21.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Take advantage of the atomic-write capabilities in the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS">F2FS filesystem</a> when available, for
greatly reduced transaction overhead. This currently requires the
<a href="compile.html#enable_batch_atomic_write">SQLITE_ENABLE_BATCH_ATOMIC_WRITE</a> compile-time option.
<li> Allow <a href="lang_attach.html">ATTACH</a> and <a href="lang_detach.html">DETACH</a> commands to work inside of a transaction.
<li> Allow <a href="vtab.html#worid">WITHOUT ROWID virtual tables</a> to be writable if the PRIMARY KEY
contains exactly one column.
<li> The "fsync()" that occurs after the header is written in a WAL reset
now uses the sync settings for checkpoints. This means it will use a
"fullfsync" on macs if <a href="pragma.html#pragma_checkpoint_fullfsync">PRAGMA checkpoint_fullfsync</a> set on.
<li> The <a href="c3ref/libversion.html">sqlite3_sourceid()</a> function tries to detect if the source code has
been modified from what is checked into version control and if there are
modifications, the last four characters of the version hash are shown as
"alt1" or "alt2". The objective is to detect accidental and/or careless
edits. A forger can subvert this feature.
<li> Improved de-quoting of column names for <a href="lang_createtable.html#createtabas">CREATE TABLE AS</a> statements with
an aggregate query on the right-hand side.
<li> Fewer "stat()" system calls issued by the unix VFS.
<li> Enhanced the <a href="optoverview.html#like_opt">LIKE optimization</a> so that it works with an <a href="lang_expr.html#like">ESCAPE</a> clause.
<li> Enhanced <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> and <a href="pragma.html#pragma_quick_check">PRAGMA quick_check</a> to detect obscure
row corruption that they were formerly missing. Also update both pragmas
so that they return error text rather than SQLITE_CORRUPT when encountering
corruption in <a href="fileformat2.html#record_format">records</a>.
<li> The query planner now prefers to implement FROM-clause subqueries using
<a href="optoverview.html#coroutines">co-routines</a> rather using the <a href="optoverview.html#flattening">query flattener</a> optimization. Support for
the use of co-routines for subqueries may no longer be disabled.
<li> Pass information about !=, IS, IS NOT, NOT NULL, and IS NULL constraints
into the <a href="vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex</a> method of virtual tables.
<li> Enhanced the <a href="csv.html">CSV virtual table</a> so that it accepts the last row of
input if the final new-line character is missing.
<li> Remove the rarely-used "scratch" memory allocator. Replace it with the
<a href="c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigsmallmalloc">SQLITE_CONFIG_SMALL_MALLOC</a> configuration setting that gives SQLite
a hint that large memory allocations should be avoided when possible.
<li> Added the
<a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc/unionvtab.c">swarm virtual table</a>
to the existing union virtual table extension.
<li> Added the
<a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/src/dbpage.c">sqlite_dbpage virtual table</a>

of the database file. The source code is built into the <a href="amalgamation.html">amalgamation</a> and
is activated using the <a href="compile.html#enable_dbpage_vtab">-DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBPAGE_VTAB</a> compile-time option.
<li> Add a new type of fts5vocab virtual table - "instance" - that provides
direct access to an FTS5 full-text index at the lowest possible level.
<li> Remove a call to rand_s() in the Windows VFS since it was causing problems
in Firefox on some older laptops.
<li> The <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/finfo?name=src/shell.c">src/shell.c</a> source code
to the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a> is no longer under version control. That file

<ol type='a'>
<li> When generating individual loops for each ORed term of an OR scan,
move any constant WHERE expressions outside of the loop, as is
done for top-level loops.
<li> The query planner examines the values of bound parameters to help
determine if a partial index is usable.
<li> When deciding between two plans with the same estimated cost, bias
the selection toward the one that does not use the sorter.
<li> Evaluate WHERE clause constraints involving correlated subqueries
last, in the hope that they never have be evaluated at all.
<li> Do not use the <a href="optoverview.html#flattening">flattening optimization</a> for a sub-query on the RHS
of a LEFT JOIN if that subquery reads data from a <a href="vtab.html">virtual table</a> as
doing so prevents the query planner from creating <a href="optoverview.html#autoindex">automatic indexes</a>
on the results of the sub-query, which can slow down the query.

<a name="version_3_12_0"></a>
<h3>2016-03-29 (3.12.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<p><b>Potentially Disruptive Change:</b>
<li>The <a href="compile.html#default_page_size">SQLITE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE</a> is increased from 1024 to 4096.
The <a href="compile.html#default_cache_size">SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE</a> is changed from 2000 to -2000 so
the same amount of cache memory is used by default.
See the application note on the
<a href="pgszchng2016.html">version 3.12.0 page size change</a> for further information.
<p><b>Performance enhancements:</b>
<li>Enhancements to the <a href="lemon.html">Lemon parser generator</a>
so that it creates a smaller and faster SQL parser.
<li>Only create <a href="tempfiles.html#superjrnl">master journal</a> files if two or more attached databases are all
modified, do not have <a href="pragma.html#pragma_synchronous">PRAGMA synchronous</a> set to OFF, and
do not have the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode">journal_mode</a> set to OFF, MEMORY, or WAL.
<li>Only create <a href="tempfiles.html#stmtjrnl">statement journal</a> files when their size exceeds a threshold.
Otherwise the journal is held in memory and no I/O occurs. The threshold
can be configured at compile-time using <a href="compile.html#stmtjrnl_spill">SQLITE_STMTJRNL_SPILL</a> or at
start-time using <a href="c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigstmtjrnlspill">SQLITE_CONFIG_STMTJRNL_SPILL</a>).
<li>The query planner is able to optimize IN operators on <a href="vtab.html">virtual tables</a>
even if the <a href="vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex</a> method does not set the
sqlite3_index_constraint_usage.omit flag of the
virtual table column to the left of the IN operator.
<li>The query planner now does a better job of optimizing <a href="vtab.html">virtual table</a>
accesses in a 3-way or higher join where constraints on the virtual
table are split across two or more other tables of the join.
<li>More efficient handling of <a href="appfunc.html">application-defined SQL functions</a>, especially
in cases where the application defines hundreds or thousands of
custom functions.
<li>The query planner considers the LIMIT clause when estimating the cost
of ORDER BY.
<li>The configure script (on unix) automatically detects
pread() and pwrite() and sets compile-time options to use those OS
interfaces if they are available.
<li>Reduce the amount of memory needed to hold the schema.
<li>Other miscellaneous micro-optimizations for improved performance and reduced
memory usage.
<p><b>New Features:</b>
<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigenablefts3tokenizer">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER</a> option to <a href="c3ref/db_config.html">sqlite3_db_config()</a>
which allows the two-argument version of the <a href="fts3.html#f3tknzr">fts3_tokenizer()</a> SQL function to
be enabled or disabled at run-time.
<li>Added the <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact/d7cc99350?ln=403-443">sqlite3rbu_bp_progress()</a>
interface to the <a href="rbu.html">RBU</a> extension.
<li>The <a href="pragma.html#pragma_defer_foreign_keys">PRAGMA defer_foreign_keys=ON</a> statement now also disables
<a href="foreignkeys.html#fk_actions">RESTRICT actions</a> on foreign key.
<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/system_errno.html">sqlite3_system_errno()</a> interface.
<li>Added the <a href="compile.html#default_synchronous">SQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS</a> and <a href="compile.html#default_wal_synchronous">SQLITE_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNCHRONOUS</a>
compile-time options. The <a href="compile.html#default_synchronous">SQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS</a> compile-time option
replaces the <a href="compile.html#extra_durable">SQLITE_EXTRA_DURABLE</a> option, which is no longer supported.
<li>Enhanced the ".stats" command in the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a> to show more
information about I/O performance obtained from /proc, when available.
<p><b>Bug fixes:</b>
<li>Make sure the <a href="c3ref/get_auxdata.html">sqlite3_set_auxdata()</a> values from multiple triggers
within a single statement do not interfere with one another.
Ticket <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/dc9b1c91">dc9b1c91</a>.

<ol>
<li>If the default entry point "sqlite3_extension_init" is not present in

See <a href="35to36.html">35to36.html</a> for additional information.
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>
<li>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
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>

<li>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
<font color="red">*** Potentially incompatible change ***</font></li>

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.</li>

of the entire SQLite library.</li>
<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/status.html">sqlite3_status()</a> interface used for querying run-time status
information about the overall SQLite library and its subsystems.</li>

<h3>2002-03-11 (2.4.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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 <a href="lemon.html">Lemon parser generator</a> 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 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.</li>

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

<li>The ".dump" output from the shell does not work if there are embedded

<h3>2001-04-05 (1.0.29)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>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.</li>
<li>If the library is not configured for UTF-8 and the Tcl library
is one of the newer ones that uses UTF-8 internally,

<h3>2001-03-20 (1.0.27)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>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.</li>
<li>The DELETE command without a WHILE clause just removes the database
files from the disk, rather than going through and deleting record

<a name="version_1_0_4"></a>
<h3>2000-08-28 (1.0.4)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Added functions <b>length()</b> and <b>substr()</b>.</li>
<li>Fix a bug in the <b>sqlite</b> shell program that was causing
a coredump when the output mode was "column" and the first row
of data contained a NULL.</li>
</ol></p>
<a name="version_1_0_3"></a>
<h3>2000-08-22 (1.0.3)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>

to stderr instead of stdout.</li>
<li>In the sqlite shell, now print the version number on initial startup.</li>
<li>Add the <b>sqlite_version[]</b> string constant to the library</li>
<li>Makefile updates</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol></p>
<a name="version_1_0_1"></a>
<h3>2000-08-18 (1.0.1)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Fix a bug in the configure script.</li>
<li>Minor revisions to the website.</li>
</ol></p>
<a name="version_1_0"></a>
<h3>2000-08-17 (1.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Change the <b>sqlite</b> program so that it can read
databases for which it lacks write permission. (It used to
refuse all access if it could not write.)</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-09</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Treat carriage returns as white space.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-08</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Added pattern matching to the ".table" command in the "sqlite"
command shell.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-04</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Documentation updates</li>
<li>Added "busy" and "timeout" methods to the Tcl interface</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-03</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>File format version number was being stored in sqlite_master.tcl
multiple times. This was harmless, but unnecessary. It is now fixed.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-02</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>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.
<font color="red">** Incompatible Change **</font></li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-08-01</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>The parser's stack was overflowing on a very long UPDATE statement.
This is now fixed.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-07-31</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Finish the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
<li>Added documentation on compiling to WinNT.</li>
<li>Fix a configuration program for WinNT.</li>
<li>Fix a configuration problem for HPUX.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-07-29</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Better labels on column names of the result.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-07-28</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Added the <b>sqlite_busy_handler()</b>
and <b>sqlite_busy_timeout()</b> interface.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-23</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-21</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
No functional changes to the code.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-19</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.
This mistake has now been fixed.</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-18</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Added the concatenate string operator (||)</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-12</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-08</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-06</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-03</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-02</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-06-01</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-05-31</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-05-30</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<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 calls the
<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
files.</li>
<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
</ol></p>
<h3>2000-05-29</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li>Initial Public Release of Alpha code</li>
</ol></p>
