Interaction Between Compile-Time Thread Safety and Runtime Mutex Flags The core issue revolves around the interplay between SQLite’s compile-time thread safety configuration (via -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0) and runtime mutex mode selection using SQLITE_OPEN_FULLMUTEX with sqlite3_open_v2(). When SQLite is compiled in single-threaded mode, the library disables all internal mutexing mechanisms. Attempting to override this behavior at runtime by…

Issue Overview: Inconsistent Treatment of Empty Fields in CSV Import The core issue revolves around how SQLite handles empty fields in CSV files, particularly when the file does not end with a newline character. Specifically, when the last field of the last record in a CSV file is empty and the file lacks a trailing…

Issue Overview: Missing SQLITE_CREATE_TABLE/INDEX Authorization Events Due to Constant Overlap When implementing an authorization callback using SQLite’s sqlite3_set_authorizer() mechanism through Python’s sqlite3 module, developers may encounter situations where expected authorization events for table and index creation operations fail to trigger. This manifests specifically as SQLITE_CREATE_TABLE (action code 2) and SQLITE_CREATE_INDEX (action code 1) not appearing…

SQLite Version Support and Maintenance Overview SQLite, a widely-used, lightweight, and serverless database engine, follows a unique versioning and maintenance policy that can sometimes be unclear to users. The core of the issue revolves around understanding which versions of SQLite are actively supported and maintained by the SQLite development team. Unlike some other software projects,…

Issue Overview: Pointer Nullification vs. Value Assignment in sqlite3Checkpoint The core issue revolves around the behavior of the sqlite3Checkpoint function in SQLite, specifically how output parameters pnLog and pnCkpt are managed during the checkpointing process. The sqlite3Checkpoint function is responsible for executing Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) checkpoints, which synchronize data between the WAL file and the…

Issue Overview: SQLITE_CORRUPT Database Errors in CoreProtect Plugin Logs A Minecraft server administrator encounters repeated SQLITE_CORRUPT errors in the server console, originating from the CoreProtect plugin. The error indicates that the SQLite database disk image is malformed, causing the plugin to fail during write operations such as entity kill logging. The stack trace points to…

Issue Overview: Memory Database Transactions and Table Visibility When working with SQLite, particularly with in-memory databases (:memory:), users may encounter unexpected behavior related to transaction isolation and table visibility. Specifically, the issue arises when multiple transactions are opened concurrently, and the second transaction cannot see a table created outside the transaction. This behavior is inconsistent…

Scatter/Gather Binding for Multi-Chunk Blobs and Text in SQLite Issue Overview The core issue revolves around the inefficiency of binding large multi-chunk blob and text values in SQLite. Currently, SQLite requires that these values be contiguous in memory before they can be bound to a prepared statement. This necessitates allocating a large array and performing…

Understanding the Rounding Discrepancies in SQLite The core issue revolves around the inconsistent behavior of the ROUND() function in SQLite, where certain floating-point numbers are not rounded as expected. This problem manifests in specific scenarios, particularly when dealing with numbers like 146.3599 or 10.555, where the rounding results deviate from the expected output. For example,…

Issue Overview: SQLite Wasm OPFS Compatibility in Safari and Firefox The core issue revolves around the compatibility of SQLite Wasm with the Origin-Private File System (OPFS) in Safari and Firefox browsers. SQLite Wasm is a WebAssembly (Wasm) build of SQLite that allows running SQLite directly in the browser. OPFS is a browser API that provides…
