<a name="version_3_46_0"></a>
<h3>2024-05-23 (3.46.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Enhance <a href="pragma.html#pragma_optimize">PRAGMA optimize</a> in multiple ways, to make it
     <a href="lang_analyze.html#pragopt">simpler to use</a>:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> PRAGMA optimize automatically implements a temporary
          <a href="pragma.html#pragma_analysis_limit">analysis limit</a> to prevent excess runtime
          on large databases.
     <li> Added the new 0x10000 bitmask option to check for updates on all tables.
     <li> Automatically re-analyze tables that do not have sqlite_stat1 entries.
     </ol>
<li> Enhancements to the <a href="lang_datefunc.html">date and time functions</a>:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> The <a href="lang_datefunc.html#strftm">strftime() SQL function</a> now supports %G, %g, %U, and %V.
     <li> New modifiers 'ceiling' and 'floor' control the algorithm used to
          resolve <a href="lang_datefunc.html#dtambg">ambiguous dates</a> when shifting a date by an integer number
          of months and/or years.
     <li> The <a href="lang_datefunc.html#localtime">'utc' and 'localtime' modifiers</a> are now no-ops if SQLite knows
          that the time is already in UTC or in the localtime, respectively.
     </ol>
<li> Add support for underscore ("_") characters between digits in
     <a href="lang_expr.html#litvalue">numeric literals</a>.
<li> Add the <a href="json1.html#jpretty">json_pretty()</a> SQL function.
<li> Query planner improvements:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> The "VALUES-as-coroutine" optimization enables INSERT statements with 
          thousands of rows in the VALUES clause to parse and run in about half
          the time and using about half as much memory.
     <li> Allow the use of an index for queries like "SELECT count(DISTINCT col) FROM ...",
          even if the index records are not smaller than the table records.
     <li> Improved recognition of cases where the value of an SQL function is
          constant because all its arguments are constant.
     <li> Enhance the <a href="optoverview.html#pushdown">WHERE-clause push-down optimization</a> so that it is able to
          push down WHERE clause terms containing uncorrelated subqueries.
     </ol>
<li> Allocate additional memory from the heap for the SQL parser stack if
     that stack overflows, rather than reporting a "parser stack overflow" error.
<li> JSON changes:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> Allow ASCII control characters within JSON5 string literals.
     <li> Fix <a href="json1.html#jptr">the -> and ->> operators</a> so that when the right-hand side operand is a string
          that looks like an integer it is still treated as a string, because that is what
          PostgreSQL does.
     </ol>
<li> Allow large hexadecimal literals to be used as the DEFAULT value to a table column.

<h3>2024-03-12 (3.45.2)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Fix an error in <a href="lang_upsert.html">UPSERT</a>, introduced by enhancement 3a in <a href="#version_3_35_0">version 3.35.0</a>
     (2021-03-12), that could cause an index to get out-of-sync with its table.
     <a href="https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/919c6579c8">Forum thread 919c6579c8</a>.
<li> Reduce the scope of the NOT NULL strength reduction optimization that was
     added as item 8e in <a href="#version_3_35_0">version 3.35.0</a> (2021-03-12).  The optimization

<h3>2024-01-30 (3.45.1)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Restore the <a href="json1.html#jblobbug">JSON BLOB input bug</a>, and promise to support the anomaly in
     subsequent releases, for backward compatibility.
<li> Fix the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> command so that it works on read-only
     databases that contain FTS3 and FTS5 tables. This resolves an issue
     introduced in <a href="#version_3_44_0">version 3.44.0</a> but was undiscovered until after the 3.45.0 release.
<li> Fix issues associated with processing corrupt <a href="json1.html#jsonbx">JSONB</a> inputs:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> Prevent exponential runtime when converting a corrupt JSONB into text.
     <li> Fix a possible read of one byte past the end of the JSONB blob when converting
          a corrupt JSONB into text.
     <li> Enhanced testing using <a href="testing.html#dbsqlfuzz">jfuzz</a> to prevent any future JSONB problems such
          as the above.
     </ol>
<li> Fix a long-standing bug in which a read of a few bytes past the end of a
     memory-mapped segment might occur when accessing a craftily corrupted database
     using <a href="pragma.html#pragma_mmap_size">memory-mapped database</a>.
<li> Fix a long-standing bug in which a NULL pointer dereference might occur in
     the <a href="opcode.html">bytecode engine</a> due to incorrect bytecode being generated for a class
     of SQL statements that are deliberately designed to stress the query planner
     but which are otherwise pointless.

</ol></p>
<a name="version_3_45_0"></a>
<h3>2024-01-15 (3.45.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Added the <a href="c3ref/c_deterministic.html#sqliteresultsubtype">SQLITE_RESULT_SUBTYPE</a> property for
     <a href="appfunc.html">application-defined SQL functions</a>.  
     All application defined SQL functions that invokes
     <a href="c3ref/result_subtype.html">sqlite3_result_subtype()</a> must be registered with this new property.
     Failure to do so might cause the call to sqlite3_result_subtype() to
     behave as a no-op.  Compile with <a href="compile.html#strict_subtype">-DSQLITE_STRICT_SUBTYPE=1</a> to cause an
     SQL error to be raised if a function that is not <a href="c3ref/c_deterministic.html#sqliteresultsubtype">SQLITE_RESULT_SUBTYPE</a>
     tries invokes <a href="c3ref/result_subtype.html">sqlite3_result_subtype()</a>.  The use of <a href="compile.html#strict_subtype">-DSQLITE_STRICT_SUBTYPE=1</a>
     is a recommended compile-time option for every application that makes
     use of subtypes.
<li> Enhancements to the <a href="json1.html">JSON SQL functions</a>:
    <ol type="a">
    <li> All JSON functions are rewritten to use a new internal parse tree
         format called <a href="json1.html#jsonbx">JSONB</a>.  The new parse-tree format is serializable 
         and hence can be stored in the database to avoid unnecessary re-parsing
         whenever the JSON value is used.
    <li> New versions of JSON-generating functions generate binary JSONB instead
         of JSON text.
    <li> The <a href="json1.html#jvalid">json_valid()</a> function adds an optional second argument that
         specifies what it means for the first argument to be "well-formed".
    </ol>
<li> Add the <a href="fts5.html#the_tokendata_option">FTS5 tokendata option</a> to the <a href="fts5.html">FTS5</a> virtual table.
<li> The <a href="compile.html#direct_overflow_read">SQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ</a> optimization is now enabled by default.
     Disable it at compile-time using -DSQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ=0.
<li> Query planner improvements:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> Do not allow the transitive constraint optimization to trick the
          query planner into using a range constraint when a better equality
          constraint is available.
          (<a href="https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/2568d1f6e6">Forum post 2568d1f6e6</a>.)
     <li> The query planner now does a better job of disregarding
          indexes that <a href="lang_analyze.html">ANALYZE</a> identifies as low-quality.
          (<a href="https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/6f0958b03b">Forum post 6f0958b03b</a>.)
     </ol>
<li> Increase the default value for <a href="limits.html#max_page_count">SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_COUNT</a> from 1073741824 to
     4294967294.
<li> Enhancements to the <a href="cli.html">CLI</a>:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> Improvements to the display of UTF-8 content on Windows
     <li> Automatically detect playback of ".dump" scripts and make appropriate
          changes to settings such as ".dbconfig defensive off" and
          ".dbconfig dqs_dll on".

     minutes after the 3.44.1 release was tagged.

<a name="version_3_44_0"></a>
<h3>2023-11-01 (3.44.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> <a href="lang_aggfunc.html">Aggregate functions</a> can now include an ORDER BY clause after their last
     parameter.  The arguments to the function are processed in the order
     specified.  This can be important for functions like
     <a href="lang_aggfunc.html#group_concat">string_agg()</a> and <a href="json1.html#jgrouparray">json_group_array()</a>.
<li> Add support for the <a href="lang_corefunc.html#concat">concat()</a> and <a href="lang_corefunc.html#concat_ws">concat_ws()</a> scalar SQL functions,
     compatible with PostgreSQL, SQLServer, and MySQL.
<li> Add support for the <a href="lang_aggfunc.html#group_concat">string_agg()</a> aggregate SQL function, compatible
     with PostgreSQL and SQLServer.
<li> New conversion letters on the <a href="lang_datefunc.html#strftm">strftime() SQL function</a>: %e %F %I %k %l %p %P %R %T %u
<li> Add new C-language APIs:  <a href="c3ref/get_clientdata.html">sqlite3_get_clientdata()</a> and <a href="c3ref/get_clientdata.html">sqlite3_set_clientdata()</a>.
<li> Many errors associated with CREATE TABLE are now raised when the CREATE TABLE statement
     itself is run, rather than being deferred until the first time the table is actually
     used.
<li> The <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a> command now verifies the consistency of the
     content in various built-in <a href="vtab.html">virtual tables</a> using the new <a href="vtab.html#xintegrity">xIntegrity method</a>.
     This works for the <a href="fts3.html">FTS3</a>, <a href="fts3.html#fts4">FTS4</a>, <a href="fts5.html">FTS5</a>, <a href="rtree.html">RTREE</a>, and <a href="geopoly.html">GEOPOLY</a> extensions.
<li> The <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE</a> setting now prevents <a href="pragma.html#pragma_writable_schema">PRAGMA writable_schema</a>
     from being turned on.  Previously writable_schema could be turned on, but would
     not actually allow the schema to be writable.  Now it simply cannot be turned on.
<li> Tag the built-in <a href="fts3.html">FTS3</a>, <a href="fts3.html#fts4">FTS4</a>, <a href="fts5.html">FTS5</a>, <a href="rtree.html">RTREE</a>, and <a href="geopoly.html">GEOPOLY</a> virtual tables as
     <a href="c3ref/c_vtab_constraint_support.html#sqlitevtabinnocuous">SQLITE_VTAB_INNOCUOUS</a> so that they can be used inside of triggers in
     high-security deployments.
<li> The <a href="pragma.html#pragma_case_sensitive_like">PRAGMA case_sensitive_like</a> statement is deprecated, as its use when the
     schema contains LIKE operators can lead to reports of database corruption
     by <a href="pragma.html#pragma_integrity_check">PRAGMA integrity_check</a>.
<li> <a href="compile.html#use_seh">SQLITE_USE_SEH</a> (Structured Exception Handling) is now enabled by default whenever
     SQLite is built using the Microsoft C compiler.  It can be disabled using
     -DSQLITE_USE_SEH=0
<li> Query planner optimizations:
     <ol type="a">
     <li> In partial index scans, if the WHERE clause implies a constant value for a table
          column, replace occurrences of that table column with the constant. This
          increases the likelihood of the partial index being a covering index.
     <li> Disable the view-scan optimization (added in <a href="#version_3_42_0">version 3.42.0</a> - item 1c) 
          as it was causing multiple performance regressions. In its place, reduce
          the estimated row count for DISTINCT subqueries by a factor of 8.
     </ol>
<li> SQLite now performs run-time detection of whether or not the underlying hardware
     supports "long double" with precision greater than "double" and uses appropriate
     floating-point routines depending on what it discovered.
<li> The <a href="cli.html">CLI</a> for Windows now defaults to using UTF-8 for both input

    <li> The query planner has improved awareness of when an index is

    <li> The query planner is more aggressive about using <a href="optoverview.html#coroutines">co-routines</a> rather

<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/interrupt.html">sqlite3_is_interrupted()</a> interface.
<li>Long-running calls to <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare()</a> and similar now invoke the

    They return SQLITE_ERROR instead of SQLITE_MISUSE in this case.
<li>The parser now ignores excess parentheses around a subquery on the right-hand side
    of an IN operator, so that SQLite now works the same as PostgreSQL in this regard.
    Formerly, SQLite treated the subquery as an expression with an implied "LIMIT 1".

     <li> The NOT NULL and IS NULL operators (and their equivalents) avoid

     <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_encoding.html">sqlite3_value_encoding()</a> interface.

<li> Back out the EXISTS-to-IN optimization (item 8b in the
     <a href="#version_3_35_0">SQLite 3.35.0 change log</a>)
     as it was found to slow down queries more often than speed them up.

<h3>2018-06-04 (3.24.0)</h3><p><ol class='lessindent'>
<li> Add support for PostgreSQL-style <a href="lang_upsert.html">UPSERT</a>.
<li> Add support for <a href="rtree.html#auxcol">auxiliary columns in r-tree tables</a>.
<li> Add C-language APIs for discovering SQL keywords used by
     SQLite: <a href="c3ref/keyword_check.html">sqlite3_keyword_count()</a>, <a href="c3ref/keyword_check.html">sqlite3_keyword_name()</a>, and
     <a href="c3ref/keyword_check.html">sqlite3_keyword_check()</a>.
<li> Add C-language APIs for dynamic strings based on the
     <a href="c3ref/str.html">sqlite3_str</a> object.
<li> Enhance <a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE</a> so that it recognizes "true" and "false" as
     valid arguments to DEFAULT.
<li> Add the sorter-reference optimization as a compile-time option.
     Only available if compiled with SQLITE_ENABLE_SORTER_REFERENCES.
<li> Improve the format of the <a href="eqp.html">EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN</a> raw output, so that
     it gives better information about the query plan and about the
     relationships between the various components of the plan.
<li> Added the <a href="c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigresetdatabase">SQLITE_DBCONFIG_RESET_DATABASE</a> option to the
     <a href="c3ref/db_config.html">sqlite3_db_config()</a> API.
<p><b><a href="cli.html">CLI</a> Enhancements:</b>
<li> Automatically intercepts the raw <a href="eqp.html">EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN</a>
     output and reformats it into an ASCII-art graph.
<li> Lines that begin with "#" and that are not in the middle of an
     SQL statement are interpreted as comments.
<li> Added the --append option to the ".backup" command.
<li> Added the ".dbconfig" command.
<p><b>Performance:</b>
<li> <a href="lang_update.html">UPDATE</a> avoids unnecessary low-level disk writes when the contents
     of the database file do not actually change.
     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
     <a href="optoverview.html#autoindex">automatic indexes</a> for views and subqueries for which it is
     not possible to create a persistent index.
<li> Make use of the one-pass UPDATE and DELETE query plans in the
     <a href="rtree.html">R-Tree extension</a> where appropriate.
<li> Performance improvements in the LEMON-generated parser.
<p><b>Bug fixes:</b>
<li> For the right-hand table of a LEFT JOIN, compute the values
     of expressions directly rather than loading precomputed values
     out of an <a href="expridx.html">expression index</a> as the expression index might
     not contain the correct value.  Ticket

  <li> Added the <a href="cli.html#editfunc">edit() SQL function</a>.

<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>
     for providing direct access to pages
     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
     is now generated as part of the build process.
<li> Miscellaneous <a href="cpu.html#microopt">microoptimizations</a> reduce CPU usage by about 2.1%.
<li> Bug fixes:
<ol type="a">
  <li> Fix a faulty assert() statement discovered by OSSFuzz.

<li> Added the <a href="completion.html">COMPLETION extension</a> - designed to suggest
     tab-completions for interactive user interfaces.  This is a work in progress.
     Expect further enhancements in future releases.
<li> Added the <a href="unionvtab.html">UNION virtual table</a> extension.
<li> The built-in <a href="lang_datefunc.html">date and time functions</a> have been enhanced so that they can be
     used in <a href="lang_createtable.html#ckconst">CHECK constraints</a>, in <a href="expridx.html">indexes on expressions</a>, and in the WHERE clauses
     of <a href="partialindex.html">partial indexes</a>, provided that they do not use the 'now', 'localtime', or
     'utc' keywords.  <a href="deterministic.html#dtexception">More information</a>.
<li> Added the <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v3()</a> and <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare16_v3()</a> interfaces
     with the extra "prepFlags" parameters.
<li> Provide the <a href="c3ref/c_prepare_normalize.html#sqlitepreparepersistent">SQLITE_PREPARE_PERSISTENT</a> flag for <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v3()</a> and

<li> Added the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_secure_delete">PRAGMA secure_delete=FAST</a> command.  When secure_delete is
     set to FAST, old content is overwritten with zeros as long as that does
     not increase the amount of I/O.  Deleted content might still persist on
     the <a href="fileformat2.html#freelist">free-page list</a> but will be purged from all b-tree pages.
<li> Enhancements to the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a>:
<ol type='a'>
  <li> Add support for tab-completion using the <a href="completion.html">COMPLETION extension</a>, for
       both readline and linenoise.

  <li> The "<a href="cli.html#csv">.import</a>" command ignores an initial UTF-8 BOM.
  <li> Added the "--newlines" option to the "<a href="cli.html#dump">.dump</a>" command to cause U+000a and
       U+000d characters to be output literally rather than escaped using the
       <a href="lang_corefunc.html#replace">replace()</a> function.
</ol>
<li> Query planner enhancements:
<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.
</ol>

with a home-baked pie.</center>
</div>
<li>Added support for <a href="vtab.html#worid">WITHOUT ROWID virtual tables</a>.
<li>Improved the query planner so that the <a href="optoverview.html#or_opt">OR optimization</a> can
    be used on <a href="vtab.html">virtual tables</a> even if one or more of the disjuncts
    use the <a href="lang_expr.html#like">LIKE</a>, <a href="lang_expr.html#glob">GLOB</a>, <a href="lang_expr.html#regexp">REGEXP</a>, <a href="lang_expr.html#match">MATCH</a> operators.
<li>Added the <a href="csv.html">CSV virtual table</a> for reading
    <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt">RFC 4180</a> formatted comma-separated
    value files.
<li>Added the <a href="carray.html">carray() table-valued function</a> extension.
<li>Enabled <a href="loadext.html#persist">persistent loadable extensions</a> using the new
    <a href="rescode.html#ok_load_permanently">SQLITE_OK_LOAD_PERMANENTLY</a> return code from the extension
    entry point.
<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/c_dbstatus_options.html#sqlitedbstatuscacheusedshared">SQLITE_DBSTATUS_CACHE_USED_SHARED</a> option to <a href="c3ref/db_status.html">sqlite3_db_status()</a>.
<li>Add the
    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact?ci=trunk&filename=ext/misc/vfsstat.c">vfsstat.c</a>
    loadable extension - a VFS shim that measures I/O
    together with an <a href="vtab.html#epovtab">eponymous virtual table</a> that provides access to the measurements.
<li>Improved algorithm for running queries with both an ORDER BY and a LIMIT where
    only the inner-most loop naturally generates rows in the correct order.
<li>Enhancements to <a href="lemon.html">Lemon parser generator</a>, so that it generates a
    faster parser.
<li>The <a href="pragma.html#pragma_compile_options">PRAGMA compile_options</a> command now attempts to show the version number
    of the compiler that generated the library.
<li>Enhance <a href="pragma.html#pragma_table_info">PRAGMA table_info</a> so that it provides information about
    <a href="vtab.html#epovtab">eponymous virtual tables</a>.
<li>Added the "win32-none" VFS, analogous to the "unix-none" VFS, that works like
    the default "win32" VFS except that it ignores all file locks.
<li>The query planner uses a full scan of a <a href="partialindex.html">partial index</a> instead of a
    full scan of the main table, in cases where that makes sense.
<li>Allow <a href="vtab.html#tabfunc2">table-valued functions</a> to appear on the right-hand side of an <a href="lang_expr.html#in_op">IN operator</a>.
<li>Created the <a href="dbhash.html">dbhash.exe</a> command-line utility.
<li>Added two new C-language interfaces: <a href="c3ref/expanded_sql.html">sqlite3_expanded_sql()</a> and
    <a href="c3ref/trace_v2.html">sqlite3_trace_v2()</a>.  These new interfaces subsume the functions of
    <a href="c3ref/profile.html">sqlite3_trace()</a> and <a href="c3ref/profile.html">sqlite3_profile()</a> which are now deprecated.
<li>Added the <a href="json1.html#jquote">json_quote()</a> SQL function to <a href="json1.html">the json1 extension</a>.
<li>Disable the <a href="c3ref/set_authorizer.html">authorizer callback</a> while reparsing the schema.

    option on by default when building the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a>.
<p><b>Bug Fixes:</b>
<li>Fix the <a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE</a> command so that it does not corrupt <a href="lang_createindex.html#descidx">descending indexes</a>
    when adding a column to a <a href="pragma.html#pragma_legacy_file_format">legacy file format</a> database.  Ticket

    <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/e8d439c77685eca6">e8d439c77685eca6</a>.
<li>Improved the cost estimation for an index scan which includes a WHERE clause
    that can be partially or fully evaluated using columns in the index and without
    having to do a table lookup.  This fixes a performance regression that occurred
    for some obscure queries following the ORDER BY LIMIT optimization introduced
    in <a href="#version_3_12_0">version 3.12.0</a>.

    The <a href="compile.html#default_cache_size">SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE</a> is changed from 2000 to -2000 so

<p><b>Performance enhancements:</b>
<li>Enhancements to the <a href="lemon.html">Lemon parser generator</a>

<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>

    <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>Update the ".import" command in the <a href="cli.html">command-line shell</a> to support multi-line

<li>Add support for <a href="mmap.html">memory-mapped I/O</a>.
<li>Add the <a href="c3ref/strglob.html">sqlite3_strglob()</a> convenience interface.
<li>Assigned the integer at offset 68 in the <a href="fileformat2.html#database_header">database header</a> as the
    <a href="fileformat2.html#appid">Application ID</a> for when SQLite is used as an <a href="appfileformat.html">application file-format</a>.

<li>Report rollback recovery in the <a href="errlog.html">error log</a> as SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_ROLLBACK.
    Change the error log code for WAL recover from
    SQLITE_OK to SQLITE_NOTICE_RECOVER_WAL.
<li>Report the risky uses of <a href="howtocorrupt.html#unlink">unlinked database files</a> and
   <a href="howtocorrupt.html#alias">database filename aliasing</a> as SQLITE_WARNING messages in the <a href="errlog.html">error log</a>.
<li>Added the <a href="compile.html#trace_size_limit">SQLITE_TRACE_SIZE_LIMIT</a> compile-time option.
<li>Increase the default value of <a href="compile.html#max_schema_retry">SQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY</a> to 50 and make sure
    that it is honored in every place that a schema change might force a statement
    retry.
<li>Add a new test harness called "mptester" used to verify correct operation
    when multiple processes are using the same database file at the same time.
<li>Enhance the <a href="loadext.html">extension loading</a> mechanism to be more flexible (while
    still maintaining backwards compatibility) in two ways:
    <ol>
    <li>If the default entry point "sqlite3_extension_init" is not present in
        the loadable extension, also try an entry point "sqlite3_X_init" where
        "X" is based on the shared library filename.  This allows every extension
        to have a different entry point, which allows them to be statically linked
        with no code changes.
    <li>The shared library filename passed to <a href="c3ref/load_extension.html">sqlite3_load_extension()</a> may
        omit the filename suffix, and an appropriate architecture-dependent
        suffix (".so", ".dylib", or ".dll") will be added automatically.
    </ol>
<li>Added many new loadable extensions to the source tree, including
    amatch, closure, fuzzer, ieee754, nextchar, regexp, spellfix,
    and wholenumber.  See header comments on each extension source file
    for further information about what that extension does.
<li>Enhance <a href="fts3.html">FTS3</a> to avoid using excess stack space when there are a huge
    number of terms on the right-hand side of the MATCH operator.  A side-effect
    of this change is that the MATCH operator can only accommodate 12 NEAR
    operators at a time.
<li>Enhance the <a href="fts3.html#fts4aux">fts4aux</a> virtual table so that it can be a TEMP table.
<li>Added the <a href="fts3.html#fts3tok">fts3tokenize virtual table</a> to the <a href="fts3.html">full-text search</a> logic.
<li>Query planner enhancement: Use the transitive property of constraints
    to move constraints into the outer loops of a join whenever possible,
    thereby reducing the amount of work that needs to occur in inner loops.
<li>Discontinue the use of posix_fallocate() on unix, as it does not work on all
    filesystems.
<li>Improved tracing and debugging facilities in the Windows <a href="vfs.html">VFS</a>.
<li>Bug fix: Fix a potential <b>database corruption bug</b>

<li>Modifications to the <a href="c3ref/vfs.html">virtual file system</a> interface

    <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

<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

    on the older buggy behavior, we mark that as a

<li>The result column names generated for compound subqueries have been
    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>
<li>Added the <a href="c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config()</a> interface for doing run-time configuration
    of the entire SQLite library.</li>

<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'>

    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>2000-06-12</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.

<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>
<li>Added support for using <b>(SELECT ...)</b> within expressions</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>

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>
