FTS5 Auxiliary Functions Functioning with LIKE Operator Despite Documentation Restrictions

FTS5 Auxiliary Functions Functioning with LIKE Operator Despite Documentation Restrictions

BySQLite.work Team

Documentation Discrepancy: FTS5 Auxiliary Functions Invoked via LIKE Operator The FTS5 auxiliary function documentation explicitly states that auxiliary functions such as snippet(), highlight(), and bm25() may only be used within full-text queries employing the MATCH operator on FTS5 tables. However, empirical observations reveal that these functions can execute successfully in queries using the LIKE operator…

Generating JSONB TEXTRAW Elements in SQLite: Causes and Solutions

Generating JSONB TEXTRAW Elements in SQLite: Causes and Solutions

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding JSONB TEXTRAW Elements and Their Generation Context JSONB in SQLite utilizes various internal element types to optimize storage and processing efficiency. Among these, the TEXTRAW type (0xa) is a specialized marker for string values that originate from SQL text inputs requiring JSON escaping. This element type is not generated during standard JSON rendering or…
