<h3>2017-01-06 (3.16.2)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Fix the <a href="lang_replace.html">REPLACE</a> statement for
<a href="withoutrowid.html">WITHOUT ROWID</a> tables that lack secondary indexes so that
it works correctly with triggers and foreign keys. This was a new bug
caused by performance optimizations added in version 3.16.0.
Ticket <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/30027b613b4">30027b613b4</a>
<li>Fix the <a href="c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text()</a> interface so that it correctly
translates content generated by <a href="lang_corefunc.html#zeroblob">zeroblob()</a> into a string of all
0x00 characters. This is a long-standing issue discovered after the
3.16.1 release by <a href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz">OSS-Fuzz</a>
<li>Fix the bytecode generator to deal with a subquery in the FROM clause
that is itself a UNION ALL where one side of the UNION ALL is a view
that contains an ORDER BY. This is a long-standing issue that was
discovered after the release of 3.16.1. See ticket
<a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/190c2507">190c2507</a>.
<li>Adjust the <a href="c3ref/column_count.html">sqlite3_column_count()</a> API so it more often returns the same
values for <a href="pragma.html#syntax">PRAGMA</a> statements as it did in prior releases, to
minimize disruption to applications that might be using that
interface in unexpected ways.

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>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 Lemon parser generator, 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

<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>.

clause references a non-existent collating sequence. 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>.

<h3>2016-04-18 (3.12.2)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Fix a backwards compatibility problem in version 3.12.0 and 3.12.1:
Columns declared as <tt>"INTEGER" PRIMARY KEY</tt> (with quotes around
the datatype keyword) were not being recognized as an

<a name="version_3_12_0"></a>
<h3>2016-03-29 (3.12.0)</h3><p><ul 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="https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/doc/lemon.html">Lemon</a>
parser generator so that it creates a smaller and faster SQL parser.
<li>Only create <a href="tempfiles.html#masterjrnl">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="c3ref/create_function.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_enable_fkey.html">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>.
<li>Fix the code generator for expressions of the form "x IN (SELECT...)" where
the SELECT statement on the RHS is a correlated subquery.
Ticket <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/5e3c886796e5512e">5e3c886796e5512e</a>.

<a href="pragma.html#pragma_synchronous">PRAGMA synchronous=EXTRA</a> by default.
<li>Enhanced the <a href="optoverview.html">query planner</a> so that it is able to use

<h3>2013-10-17 (3.8.1)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Added the <a href="lang_corefunc.html#unlikely">unlikely()</a> and <a href="lang_corefunc.html#likelihood">likelihood()</a> SQL functions to be used
as hints to the query planner.
<li>Enhancements to the query planner:
<ul>
<li>Take into account the fact WHERE clause terms that cannot be used with indices
still probably reduce the number of output rows.
<li>Estimate the sizes of table and index rows and use the smallest applicable B-Tree
for full scans and "count(*)" operations.
</ul>
<li>Added the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_soft_heap_limit">soft_heap_limit pragma</a>.
<li>Added support for <a href="compile.html#enable_stat4">SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4</a>
<li>Added support for "sz=NNN" parameters at the end of
<a href="fileformat2.html#stat1tab">sqlite_stat1.stat</a> fields
used to specify the average length in bytes for table and index rows.
<li>Avoid running foreign-key constraint checks on an UPDATE if none of the
modified columns are associated with foreign keys.
<li>Added the <a href="compile.html#minimum_file_descriptor">SQLITE_MINIMUM_FILE_DESCRIPTOR</a> compile-time option
<li>Added the win32-longpath VFS on windows, permitting filenames up to 32K
characters in length.
<li>The <a href="lang_datefunc.html">Date And Time Functions</a> are enhanced so that the current time
(ex: julianday('now')) is always the same for multiple function invocations
within the same <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> call.
<li>Add the "totype.c" extension, implementing the tointeger() and toreal()
SQL functions.
<li><a href="fts3.html#fts4">FTS4</a> queries are better able to make use of docid<$limit constraints to
limit the amount of I/O required.
<li>Added the hidden <a href="fts3.html#f4alid">fts4aux languageid column</a> to the <a href="fts3.html#fts4aux">fts4aux</a> virtual table.
<li>The <a href="lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a> command packs the database about 1% tighter.
<li>The sqlite3_analyzer utility program is updated to provide better descriptions
and to compute a more accurate estimate for "Non-sequential pages"
<li>Refactor the implementation of PRAGMA statements to improve parsing performance.
<li>The directory used to hold temporary files on unix can now be set using
the SQLITE_TMPDIR environment variable, which takes precedence over the
TMPDIR environment variable. The <a href="c3ref/temp_directory.html">sqlite3_temp_directory</a> global variable
still has higher precedence than both environment variables, however.
<li>Added the <a href="pragma.html#pragma_stats">PRAGMA stats</a> statement.

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>

<h3>2002-06-25 (2.5.3)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Bug fix: Database corruption can occur due to the optimization
that was introduced in version 2.4.0 (check-in [410]). The problem
should now be fixed. The use of versions 2.4.0 through 2.5.2 is

for Windows and when it is for Unix.</li>
</ul></p>
<a name="version_2_4_1"></a>
<h3>2002-03-13 (2.4.1)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Using an unnamed subquery in a FROM clause would cause a segfault.</li>
<li>The parser now insists on seeing a semicolon or the end of input before

<li>Bug fix: There was an incorrect assert() in pager.c. The real code was
all correct (as far as is known) so everything should work OK if you
compile with -DNDEBUG=1. When asserts are not disabled, there
could be a fault.</li>

into the wrong columns if the data source was a SELECT and the INSERT
clauses specified its columns in some order other than the default.</li>
<li>Added the ability to resolve constraint conflicts is ways other than
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
when closed. There are no more dangling temporary files on a program
crash. (If the OS crashes, fsck will delete the file after reboot
under Unix. I do not know what happens under Windows.)</li>
<li>NOT NULL constraints are honored.</li>

<li>Bug fix: An attempt to delete a single row of a table with a WHERE
clause of "ROWID=x" when no such rowid exists was causing an error.</li>
<li>Bug fix: Passing in a NULL as the 3rd parameter to <b>sqlite_open()</b>

<h3>2001-12-14 (2.1.6)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Fix the locking mechanism yet again to prevent
<b>sqlite_exec()</b> from returning SQLITE_PROTOCOL

<li>Remove some C++ style comments from btree.c so that it will compile
using compilers other than gcc.</li>
<li>The ".dump" output from the shell does not work if there are embedded

</ul></p>
<h3>2001-09-20 (2.0-alpha-2)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Initial release of version 2.0. The idea of renaming the library
to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
bumping the major version number.</li>
<li>The pager and btree subsystems added back. They are now the only
available backend.</li>
<li>The Dbbe abstraction and the GDBM and memory drivers were removed.</li>
<li>Copyright on all code was disclaimed. The library is now in the

</ul></p>
<a name="version_1_0_29"></a>
<h3>2001-04-05 (1.0.29)</h3><p><ul 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,
then a conversion from UTF-8 to iso8859 and
back again is done inside the TCL interface.</li>

</ul></p>
<a name="version_1_0_27"></a>
<h3>2001-03-20 (1.0.27)</h3><p><ul 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
by record.</li>

<h3>2001-03-15 (1.0.25)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Modify the test scripts to identify tests that depend on system
load and processor speed and
to warn the user that a failure of one of those (rare) tests does
not necessarily mean the library is malfunctioning. No changes to
code.
</li>
</ul></p>
<a name="version_1_0_24"></a>
<h3>2001-03-14 (1.0.24)</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Fix a bug which was causing
the UPDATE command to fail on systems where "malloc(0)" returns
NULL. The problem does not appear on Windows, Linux, or HPUX but does
cause the library to fail on QNX.
</li>

</ul></p>
<h3>2000-08-03</h3><p><ul 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

<li>Added documentation on compiling to WinNT.</li>
<li>Fix a configuration program for WinNT.</li>
<li>Fix a configuration problem for HPUX.</li>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-07-29</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>

</ul></p>
<h3>2000-07-28</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>

</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-21</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
No functional changes to the code.</li>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-19</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.
This mistake has now been fixed.</li>
</ul></p>

<li>Added the concatenate string operator (||)</li>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-12</h3><p><ul 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>
</ul></p>

<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>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-03</h3><p><ul 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>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-02</h3><p><ul 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>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-06-01</h3><p><ul 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>
</ul></p>

<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>

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>
</ul></p>
<h3>2000-05-29</h3><p><ul class='lessindent'>
<li>Initial Public Release of Alpha code</li>
</ul></p>
