<a href="../c3ref/intro.html"><h2>SQLite C Interface</h2></a>
<h2>Constraint values in xBestIndex()</h2>
</div>
<blockquote><pre>
int sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value(sqlite3_index_info*, int, sqlite3_value **ppVal);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This API may only be used from within the <a href="../vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex method</a>
of a <a href="../vtab.html">virtual table</a> implementation. The result of calling this interface
from outside of an xBestIndex method are undefined and probably harmful.</p>

<p>When the sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value(P,J,V) interface is invoked from within
the <a href="../vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex</a> method of a <a href="../vtab.html">virtual table</a> implementation, with P being
a copy of the <a href="../c3ref/index_info.html">sqlite3_index_info</a> object pointer passed into xBestIndex and
J being a 0-based index into P->aConstraint[], then this routine
attempts to set *V to the value of the right-hand operand of
that constraint if the right-hand operand is known.  If the
right-hand operand is not known, then *V is set to a NULL pointer.
The sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value(P,J,V) interface returns SQLITE_OK if
and only if *V is set to a value.  The sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value(P,J,V)
inteface returns SQLITE_NOTFOUND if the right-hand side of the J-th
constraint is not available.  The sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value() interface
can return an result code other than SQLITE_OK or SQLITE_NOTFOUND if
something goes wrong.</p>

<p>The sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value() interface is usually only successful if
the right-hand operand of a constraint is a literal value in the original
SQL statement.  If the right-hand operand is an expression or a reference
to some other column or a <a href="../c3ref/bind_blob.html">host parameter</a>, then sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value()
will probably return <a href="../rescode.html#notfound">SQLITE_NOTFOUND</a>.</p>

<p>Some constraints, such as <a href="../c3ref/c_index_constraint_eq.html">SQLITE_INDEX_CONSTRAINT_ISNULL</a> and
<a href="../c3ref/c_index_constraint_eq.html">SQLITE_INDEX_CONSTRAINT_ISNOTNULL</a>, have no right-hand operand.  For such
constraints, sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value() always returns SQLITE_NOTFOUND.</p>

<p>The <a href="../c3ref/value.html">sqlite3_value</a> object returned in *V is a protected sqlite3_value
and remains valid for the duration of the xBestIndex method call.
When xBestIndex returns, the sqlite3_value object returned by
sqlite3_vtab_rhs_value() is automatically deallocated.</p>

<p>The "_rhs_" in the name of this routine is an abbreviation for
"Right-Hand Side".
