Addressing Array Serialization, Endianness, and Storage Efficiency in SQLite Extensions

Addressing Array Serialization, Endianness, and Storage Efficiency in SQLite Extensions

BySQLite.work Team

Array Serialization Compatibility Across Mixed-Endianness Environments Issue Overview The SQLite array extension introduced in the discussion serializes arrays as BLOB values, storing integers, floats, and strings with 1-based indexing. However, the implementation does not account for endianness differences between systems. This creates portability risks when databases are transferred between machines with conflicting byte orders (e.g.,…
