/*
** OVERVIEW:
**
** To use the API to recover data from a corrupted database, an
** application:
**
**   1) Creates an sqlite3_recover handle by calling either
**      sqlite3_recover_init() or sqlite3_recover_init_sql().
**
**   2) Configures the new handle using one or more calls to
**      sqlite3_recover_config().
**
**   3) Executes the recovery by repeatedly calling sqlite3_recover_step() on
**      the handle until it returns something other than SQLITE_OK. If it
**      returns SQLITE_DONE, then the recovery operation completed without 
**      error. If it returns some other non-SQLITE_OK value, then an error 
**      has occurred.
**
**   4) Retrieves any error code and English language error message using the
**      sqlite3_recover_errcode() and sqlite3_recover_errmsg() APIs,
**      respectively.
**
**   5) Destroys the sqlite3_recover handle and frees all resources
**      using sqlite3_recover_finish().
**
** The application may abandon the recovery operation at any point 
** before it is finished by passing the sqlite3_recover handle to
** sqlite3_recover_finish(). This is not an error, but the final state
** of the output database, or the results of running the partial script
** delivered to the SQL callback, are undefined.

/* 
** These two APIs attempt to create and return a new sqlite3_recover object.
** In both cases the first two arguments identify the (possibly
** corrupt) database to recover data from. The first argument is an open
** database handle and the second the name of a database attached to that
** handle (i.e. "main", "temp" or the name of an attached database).
**
** If sqlite3_recover_init() is used to create the new sqlite3_recover
** handle, then data is recovered into a new database, identified by
** string parameter zUri. zUri may be an absolute or relative file path,
** or may be an SQLite URI. If the identified database file already exists,
** it is overwritten.
**
** If sqlite3_recover_init_sql() is invoked, then any recovered data will
** be returned to the user as a series of SQL statements. Executing these
** SQL statements results in the same database as would have been created
** had sqlite3_recover_init() been used. For each SQL statement in the
** output, the callback function passed as the third argument (xSql) is 
** invoked once. The first parameter is a passed a copy of the fourth argument
** to this function (pCtx) as its first parameter, and a pointer to a
** nul-terminated buffer containing the SQL statement formated as UTF-8 as 
** the second. If the xSql callback returns any value other than SQLITE_OK,
** then processing is immediately abandoned and the value returned used as
** the recover handle error code (see below).
**
** If an out-of-memory error occurs, NULL may be returned instead of
** a valid handle. In all other cases, it is the responsibility of the
** application to avoid resource leaks by ensuring that
** sqlite3_recover_finish() is called on all allocated handles.

/*
** SQLITE_RECOVER_LOST_AND_FOUND:
**   The pArg argument points to a string buffer containing the name
**   of a "lost-and-found" table in the output database, or NULL. If
**   the argument is non-NULL and the database contains seemingly
**   valid pages that cannot be associated with any table in the
**   recovered part of the schema, data is extracted from these
**   pages to add to the lost-and-found table.
**
** SQLITE_RECOVER_FREELIST_CORRUPT:
**   The pArg value must actually be a pointer to a value of type
**   int containing value 0 or 1 cast as a (void*). If this option is set
**   (argument is 1) and a lost-and-found table has been configured using
**   SQLITE_RECOVER_LOST_AND_FOUND, then is assumed that the freelist is 
**   corrupt and an attempt is made to recover records from pages that
**   appear to be linked into the freelist. Otherwise, pages on the freelist
**   are ignored. Setting this option can recover more data from the
**   database, but often ends up "recovering" deleted records. The default 
**   value is 0 (clear).
**
** SQLITE_RECOVER_ROWIDS:
**   The pArg value must actually be a pointer to a value of type
**   int containing value 0 or 1 cast as a (void*). If this option is set
**   (argument is 1), then an attempt is made to recover rowid values
**   that are not also INTEGER PRIMARY KEY values. If this option is
**   clear, then new rowids are assigned to all recovered rows. The
**   default value is 1 (set).
**
** SQLITE_RECOVER_SLOWINDEXES:
**   The pArg value must actually be a pointer to a value of type
**   int containing value 0 or 1 cast as a (void*). If this option is clear
**   (argument is 0), then when creating an output database, the recover 
**   module creates and populates non-UNIQUE indexes right at the end of the
**   recovery operation - after all recoverable data has been inserted
**   into the new database. This is faster overall, but means that the
**   final call to sqlite3_recover_step() for a recovery operation may
**   be need to create a large number of indexes, which may be very slow.
**
**   Or, if this option is set (argument is 1), then non-UNIQUE indexes
**   are created in the output database before it is populated with 
**   recovered data. This is slower overall, but avoids the slow call
**   to sqlite3_recover_step() at the end of the recovery operation.
**
**   The default option value is 0.
