<p><b>Details:</b></p>

<p>These routines extract type, size, and content information from
<a href="../c3ref/value.html">protected sqlite3_value</a> objects.  Protected sqlite3_value objects
are used to pass parameter information into the functions that
implement <a href="../appfunc.html">application-defined SQL functions</a> and <a href="../vtab.html">virtual tables</a>.</p>

<p>These routines work only with <a href="../c3ref/value.html">protected sqlite3_value</a> objects.
Any attempt to use these routines on an <a href="../c3ref/value.html">unprotected sqlite3_value</a>
is not threadsafe.</p>

<p>These routines work just like the corresponding <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">column access functions</a>
except that these routines take a single <a href="../c3ref/value.html">protected sqlite3_value</a> object
pointer instead of a <a href="../c3ref/stmt.html">sqlite3_stmt*</a> pointer and an integer column number.</p>

<p>The sqlite3_value_text16() interface extracts a UTF-16 string
in the native byte-order of the host machine.  The
sqlite3_value_text16be() and sqlite3_value_text16le() interfaces
extract UTF-16 strings as big-endian and little-endian respectively.</p>

<p>If <a href="../c3ref/value.html">sqlite3_value</a> object V was initialized
using <a href="../c3ref/bind_blob.html">sqlite3_bind_pointer(S,I,P,X,D)</a> or <a href="../c3ref/result_blob.html">sqlite3_result_pointer(C,P,X,D)</a>
and if X and Y are strings that compare equal according to strcmp(X,Y),
then sqlite3_value_pointer(V,Y) will return the pointer P.  Otherwise,
sqlite3_value_pointer(V,Y) returns a NULL. The sqlite3_bind_pointer()
routine is part of the <a href="../bindptr.html">pointer passing interface</a> added for SQLite 3.20.0.</p>

<p>The sqlite3_value_type(V) interface returns the
<a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">datatype code</a> for the initial datatype of the
<a href="../c3ref/value.html">sqlite3_value</a> object V. The returned value is one of <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_INTEGER</a>,
<a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_FLOAT</a>, <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_TEXT</a>, <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_BLOB</a>, or <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_NULL</a>.
Other interfaces might change the datatype for an sqlite3_value object.
For example, if the datatype is initially SQLITE_INTEGER and
sqlite3_value_text(V) is called to extract a text value for that
integer, then subsequent calls to sqlite3_value_type(V) might return
SQLITE_TEXT.  Whether or not a persistent internal datatype conversion
occurs is undefined and may change from one release of SQLite to the next.</p>

<p>The sqlite3_value_numeric_type() interface attempts to apply
numeric affinity to the value.  This means that an attempt is
made to convert the value to an integer or floating point.  If
such a conversion is possible without loss of information (in other
words, if the value is a string that looks like a number)
then the conversion is performed.  Otherwise no conversion occurs.
The <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">datatype</a> after conversion is returned.</p>

<p>Within the <a href="../vtab.html#xupdate">xUpdate</a> method of a <a href="../vtab.html">virtual table</a>, the
sqlite3_value_nochange(X) interface returns true if and only if
the column corresponding to X is unchanged by the UPDATE operation
that the xUpdate method call was invoked to implement and if
and the prior <a href="../vtab.html#xcolumn">xColumn</a> method call that was invoked to extracted
the value for that column returned without setting a result (probably
because it queried <a href="../c3ref/vtab_nochange.html">sqlite3_vtab_nochange()</a> and found that the column
was unchanging).  Within an <a href="../vtab.html#xupdate">xUpdate</a> method, any value for which
sqlite3_value_nochange(X) is true will in all other respects appear
to be a NULL value.  If sqlite3_value_nochange(X) is invoked anywhere other
than within an <a href="../vtab.html#xupdate">xUpdate</a> method call for an UPDATE statement, then
the return value is arbitrary and meaningless.</p>

<p>The sqlite3_value_frombind(X) interface returns non-zero if the
value X originated from one of the <a href="../c3ref/bind_blob.html">sqlite3_bind()</a>
interfaces.  If X comes from an SQL literal value, or a table column,
or an expression, then sqlite3_value_frombind(X) returns zero.</p>

<p>Please pay particular attention to the fact that the pointer returned
from <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_blob()</a>, <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text()</a>, or
<a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text16()</a> can be invalidated by a subsequent call to
<a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_bytes()</a>, <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_bytes16()</a>, <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text()</a>,
or <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text16()</a>.</p>

<p>These routines must be called from the same thread as
the SQL function that supplied the <a href="../c3ref/value.html">sqlite3_value*</a> parameters.</p>

<p>As long as the input parameter is correct, these routines can only
fail if an out-of-memory error occurs during a format conversion.
Only the following subset of interfaces are subject to out-of-memory
errors:</p>

<p><ul>
<li> sqlite3_value_blob()
<li> sqlite3_value_text()
<li> sqlite3_value_text16()
<li> sqlite3_value_text16le()
<li> sqlite3_value_text16be()
<li> sqlite3_value_bytes()
<li> sqlite3_value_bytes16()
</ul></p>

<p>If an out-of-memory error occurs, then the return value from these
routines is the same as if the column had contained an SQL NULL value.
Valid SQL NULL returns can be distinguished from out-of-memory errors
by invoking the <a href="../c3ref/errcode.html">sqlite3_errcode()</a> immediately after the suspect
return value is obtained and before any
other SQLite interface is called on the same <a href="../c3ref/sqlite3.html">database connection</a>.
