SQLite Parameter Type Mismatch: String-to-Number Conversion Error

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: String Parameter Incorrectly Interpreted as Integer The core issue revolves around a parameterized SQL query in SQLite where a string parameter is being incorrectly interpreted as an integer, leading to a runtime exception. The error message, "Input string was not in a correct format," indicates that the SQLite library is attempting to convert…

Securing SQLite for Game Modding: Authorizer Configuration and Schema Design Trade-offs

Securing SQLite for Game Modding: Authorizer Configuration and Schema Design Trade-offs

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding SQLite Security Risks in Moddable Game Architectures The core challenge involves balancing flexibility for modders with security constraints to prevent malicious exploitation of SQLite databases in a multiplayer game environment. The primary risks stem from two domains: Unrestricted SQL Command Execution: Modders could theoretically execute SQL commands that interact with the filesystem (e.g., ATTACH…

Activating SQLite Extended Error Codes in Node.js: Solutions & Debugging

Activating SQLite Extended Error Codes in Node.js: Solutions & Debugging

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Understanding Extended Error Code Activation in SQLite with Node.js SQLite’s extended error codes provide granular diagnostics for database operations, distinguishing between generic errors (e.g., SQLITE_CONSTRAINT) and specific sub-errors (e.g., SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_UNIQUE). These codes are critical for debugging constraint violations, I/O errors, or schema conflicts. However, developers using Node.js often encounter challenges when attempting to…

Using Timestamps as Unique IDs in SQLite: Risks and Solutions

Using Timestamps as Unique IDs in SQLite: Risks and Solutions

BySQLite.work Team

Timestamps as Unique Identifiers: Reliability and Long-Term Considerations The use of timestamps as unique identifiers in SQLite databases is a common practice, especially in applications where time-based ordering or uniqueness is required. However, relying solely on timestamps for uniqueness introduces several risks, particularly over long-term usage. This post delves into the nuances of using timestamps…

SQLite Test Failure: Broken Pipe in fts5multiclient.test on Windows Build

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Broken Pipe During FTS5 Multi-Client Test Execution The core problem manifests as a "broken pipe" error during execution of the fts5multiclient.test suite when building SQLite from source on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019 and IronTcl. This occurs after successful completion of foundational test phases like fuzztest, with failure specifically in the TCL-based…

Non-Breaking Space Character Breaks Regexp in SQLite

Non-Breaking Space Character Breaks Regexp in SQLite

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Non-Breaking Space Characters in SQLite Regexp Queries The core issue revolves around the difficulty of identifying and handling non-breaking space characters (NBSP) in SQLite databases, particularly when using the regexp operator or string comparison functions. Non-breaking spaces, represented by Unicode code point U+00A0, are often inserted into data by upstream applications, leading to…
