Resolving SQLite 3.40.0 Compilation Failures in Visual Studio 6.0 Due to 64-Bit Literal Suffixes

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: LL/ULL Suffix Compatibility in Legacy Microsoft Compilers The core problem arises when attempting to compile SQLite 3.40.0 with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 (MSVC 12.0), a compiler released in 1998. The compilation fails due to syntax errors related to the use of LL and ULL suffixes for 64-bit integer literals. These suffixes are part…

Missing sqlite3_stmt_scanstatus_v2 in SQLite Extensions Due to API Structure Limitations

Missing sqlite3_stmt_scanstatus_v2 in SQLite Extensions Due to API Structure Limitations

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding the Absence of Scan Status Functions in SQLite Extensions The core issue revolves around the unavailability of sqlite3_stmt_scanstatus and sqlite3_stmt_scanstatus_v2 functions within SQLite extensions. These functions are designed to provide diagnostic information about query execution, such as the number of rows scanned by specific components of a prepared statement. However, extensions cannot directly access…

Enforcing Conditional Uniqueness in SQLite for Furniture Room Allocation

Enforcing Conditional Uniqueness in SQLite for Furniture Room Allocation

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Unique Constraint Applicable Only When a Flag is Active The core challenge involves implementing a database schema in SQLite where certain records must adhere to a uniqueness constraint only when a specific boolean flag (e.g., unique_type) is enabled. In the provided scenario, furniture items within a room must be unique per type if…

Floating-Point Precision Issues in SQLite Output Modes

Floating-Point Precision Issues in SQLite Output Modes

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Floating-Point Precision Discrepancies in SQLite Output Modes The core issue revolves around the inconsistent handling of floating-point numbers in SQLite’s output modes, particularly .mode quote and .mode insert. When a floating-point number such as 13.0 is queried, the output in .mode quote displays as 12.999999999999999999, which is unexpected and incorrect. This behavior is…

and Addressing the MAX_PATHNAME=512 Limitation in SQLite Unix VFS

BySQLite.work Team

The MAX_PATHNAME=512 Limitation in SQLite Unix VFS SQLite, a widely-used embedded database engine, employs a Virtual File System (VFS) abstraction layer to interact with the underlying operating system’s file system. This abstraction allows SQLite to be portable across various platforms, including Unix-like systems. However, one notable limitation in SQLite’s Unix VFS implementation is the hard-coded…
