Compile Error When Combining SQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE and SQLITE_USER_AUTHENTICATION

Compile Error When Combining SQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE and SQLITE_USER_AUTHENTICATION

BySQLite.work Team

Conflict Between Shared Cache Omission and User Authentication Checks Structural Dependency on Shared Cache in Authentication Logic The core issue arises from a structural dependency in SQLite’s codebase where the SQLITE_USER_AUTHENTICATION feature inadvertently relies on the nTableLock member of the Parse structure. This member is conditionally compiled based on the presence of SQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE. When both…

Implementing Binary and Octal Literal Support in SQLite: Challenges and Solutions

Implementing Binary and Octal Literal Support in SQLite: Challenges and Solutions

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Patch Implementation Gaps in Binary/Octal Literal Syntax Support The core objective of this patch is to extend SQLite’s numeric literal support to include binary (e.g., 0b1010) and octal (e.g., 0o755) formats, aligning their behavior with existing hexadecimal literal handling. While functional for basic use cases, several critical implementation gaps prevent this patch from…

Summing Time Fields in SQLite: Challenges and Solutions

Summing Time Fields in SQLite: Challenges and Solutions

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding the Problem with SUM() on Time Fields The core issue revolves around the inability to directly sum time fields stored in the hh:mm:ss format in SQLite. Time fields, when stored as strings or in a time-specific format, do not behave like numeric fields. This means that arithmetic operations like summation cannot be performed directly…

SQLite’s Default busy_timeout of 0: Rationale, Implications, and Configuration

SQLite’s Default busy_timeout of 0: Rationale, Implications, and Configuration

BySQLite.work Team

The Rationale Behind SQLite’s Default busy_timeout Configuration SQLite’s busy_timeout PRAGMA determines how long the database engine will retry acquiring a lock before returning an SQLITE_BUSY error. By default, this value is set to 0 milliseconds, meaning the engine will not retry at all and immediately fail when encountering a locked resource. This design choice has…

Determining WITHOUT ROWID Tables via sqlite_schema.sql Column

Determining WITHOUT ROWID Tables via sqlite_schema.sql Column

BySQLite.work Team

Understanding the Role of sqlite_schema.sql in Identifying WITHOUT ROWID Tables Issue Overview The core issue revolves around determining whether an existing SQLite table is defined as a WITHOUT ROWID table. The SQLite documentation currently describes a method for identifying such tables by querying the sqlite_schema table’s type and name columns. However, the documentation does not…

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: SQLite Integration Crash on Meta Quest 2 The core issue revolves around a Unity application designed for the Meta Quest 2 that crashes when attempting to initialize or load an SQLite database. The application functions correctly on Windows, but fails on the Meta Quest 2 headset, specifically during the scene where the database…

Calculating Images per Year, Quarter, and Month Using SQLite Date Functions

Calculating Images per Year, Quarter, and Month Using SQLite Date Functions

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Grouping Image Counts by Time Periods with Unix Epoch Timestamps The core challenge revolves around aggregating image records from an SQLite database into yearly, quarterly, and monthly totals. Two tables are involved: treatments (with a checkinTime column storing Unix epoch timestamps in milliseconds) and images (linked to treatments via a foreign key). The…

and Resolving SQLite Progress Handler Callback Invocation Issues

and Resolving SQLite Progress Handler Callback Invocation Issues

BySQLite.work Team

Issue Overview: Progress Handler Callback Not Invoked with Large Period Values The core issue revolves around the behavior of the sqlite3_progress_handler() function in SQLite, specifically when the period parameter is set to a large value. The sqlite3_progress_handler() function is designed to invoke a user-defined callback function periodically during the execution of long-running queries. This mechanism…
