21<li>Merge development changes into the main trunk. Future work toward
22 using a BTree file structure will use a separate CVS source tree. This
23 CVS tree will continue to support the GDBM version of SQLite only.</li>
24}

drh80afdca2000-08-22 13:27:22 +0000135}

168<li>The file format for indices was changed slightly in order to work
169 around an inefficiency that can sometimes come up with GDBM when
170 there are large indices having many entries with the same key.
171 <font color="red">** Incompatible Change **</font></li>

196<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
197}
198
drh1fd14a72000-06-21 14:00:39 +0000199chng {2000 June 21} {
200<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
201 No functional changes to the code.</li>
202}
203
drh6206d502000-06-19 19:09:08 +0000204chng {2000 June 19} {

drhe91cd0c2000-06-12 12:36:36 +0000214<li>Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter. The fcnt() function
215 returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
216 This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
217 queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
218 useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
219<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000220 The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
drh6de4f4c2000-06-12 12:20:48 +0000221}

227}

drh37f0b252000-06-09 03:52:04 +0000230<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
drhf5005772000-06-06 22:19:00 +0000231<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>

244
drhbed86902000-06-02 13:27:59 +0000245chng {2000 June 2} {
246<li>All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are
247now locked before any changes are made to any files.
248This makes it safe (I think) to access
249the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.</li>
250<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
251}
252
253chng {2000 June 1} {
254<li>Better support for file locking so that two or more processes
255(or threads)
256can access the same database simultaneously. More work needed in
257this area, though.</li>
258}
259
drh7203e282000-05-31 15:35:42 +0000260chng {2000 May 31} {

267<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
268<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B>
269but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
270and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
271<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after
272<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
273can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
274of PostgreSQL.</li>
275<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that that calls the
276<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
277files.</li>
278<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
