2005 September 24 (3.2.7)
* GROUP BY now considers NULLs to be equal again, as it should
* Now compiles on Solaris and OpenBSD and other Unix variants that lack the
fdatasync() function
* Now compiles on MSVC++6 again
* Fix uninitialized variables causing malfunctions for various obscure queries
* Correctly compute a LEFT OUTER JOINs that is constrained on the left table only
2005 September 17 (3.2.6)
* Fix a bug that can cause database corruption if a VACUUM (or autovacuum) fails
and is rolled back on a database that is larger than 1GiB
* LIKE optiization now works for columns with COLLATE NOCASE
* ORDER BY and GROUP BY now use bounded memory
* Added support for COUNT(DISTINCT expr)
* Change the way SUM() handles NULL values in order to comply with the SQL standard
* Use fdatasync() instead of fsync() where possible in order to speed up commits
slightly
* Use of the CROSS keyword in a join turns off the table reordering optimization
* Added the experimental and undocumented EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN capability
* Use the unicode API in windows
2005 August 27 (3.2.5)
* Fix a bug effecting DELETE and UPDATE statements that changed more than 40960
rows.
* Change the makefile so that it no longer requires GNUmake extensions
* Fix the --enable-threadsafe option on the configure script
* Fix a code generator bug that occurs when the left-hand side of an IN operator is
constant and the right-hand side is a SELECT statement
* The PRAGMA synchronous=off statement now disables syncing of the master journal
file in addition to the normal rollback journals
2005 August 24 (3.2.4)
* Fix a bug introduced in the previous release that can cause a segfault while
generating code for complex WHERE clauses.
* Allow floating point literals to begin or end with a decimal point.
2005 August 21 (3.2.3)
* Added support for the CAST operator
* Tcl interface allows BLOB values to be transferred to user-defined functions
* Added the "transaction" method to the Tcl interface
* Allow the DEFAULT value of a column to call functions that have constant operands
* Added the ANALYZE command for gathering statistics on indices and using those
statistics when picking an index in the optimizer
* Remove the limit (formerly 100) on the number of terms in the WHERE clause
* The right-hand side of the IN operator can now be a list of expressions instead
of just a list of constants
* Rework the optimizer so that it is able to make better use of indices
* The order of tables in a join is adjusted automatically to make better use of
indices
* The IN operator is now a candidate for optimization even if the left-hand side is
not the left-most term of the index. Multiple IN operators can be used with the
same index.
* WHERE clause expressions using BETWEEN and OR are now candidates for optimization
* Added the "case_sensitive_like" pragma and the SQLITE_CASE_SENSITIVE_LIKE
compile-time option to set its default value to "on".
* Use indices to help with GLOB expressions and LIKE expressions too when the
case_sensitive_like pragma is enabled
* Added support for grave-accent quoting for compatibility with MySQL
* Improved test coverage
SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. Programs
that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without
running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone
command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an
SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite
library.
SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big database server.
SQLite is the server. The SQLite library reads and writes directly to and
from the database files on disk.
This package provides the TCL bindings for the SQLite C library.
