RowID Reassignment Determinism in SQLite VACUUM Operations

RowID Reassignment Determinism in SQLite VACUUM Operations

BySQLite.work Team

RowID Stability and VACUUM Behavior in SQLite Core Mechanics of RowID Assignment and VACUUM Impact In SQLite, the rowid is a 64-bit signed integer that uniquely identifies a row within a table. For tables lacking an explicit INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column, SQLite automatically generates this rowid. When an explicit INTEGER PRIMARY KEY is declared, it…

Optimizing SQLite Queries to Avoid Redundant Sorting in CTEs and Window Functions

Optimizing SQLite Queries to Avoid Redundant Sorting in CTEs and Window Functions

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding the Redundant Sorting Issue in SQLite CTEs and Window Functions The core issue revolves around SQLite’s query execution plan introducing redundant sorting operations when Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and window functions are used together. This redundancy occurs because SQLite’s query planner does not fully leverage the sorting information already present in the CTE, leading…
