35<li>Added functions <b>length()</b> and <b>substr()</b>.</li>

drh63e27412000-08-22 18:29:33 +000041chng {2000 Aug 22 (Version 1.0.3)} {
drh80afdca2000-08-22 13:27:22 +000042<li>In the sqlite shell, print the "Database opened READ ONLY" message
43 to stderr instead of stdout.</li>
drh4b1fb132000-08-22 13:43:28 +000044<li>In the sqlite shell, now print the version number on initial startup.</li>

drh63e27412000-08-22 18:29:33 +000046<li>Makefile updates</li>
47<li>Bug fix: incorrect VDBE code was being generated for the following
48 circumstance: a query on an indexed table containing a WHERE clause with
49 an IN operator that had a subquery on its right-hand side.</li>
drh80afdca2000-08-22 13:27:22 +000050}

56
drh303aaa72000-08-17 10:22:34 +000057chng {2000 Aug 17 (Version 1.0)} {
drh167a4b12000-08-17 09:49:59 +000058<li>Change the <b>sqlite</b> program so that it can read
59 databases for which it lacks write permission. (It used to
60 refuse all access if it could not write.)</li>
61}
62
drh30cab802000-08-09 17:17:25 +000063chng {2000 Aug 9} {

73<li>Documentation updates</li>

75}
76
drhb97bedb2000-08-03 15:09:19 +000077chng {2000 Aug 3} {
78<li>File format version number was being stored in sqlite_master.tcl
79 multiple times. This was harmless, but unnecessary. It is now fixed.</li>
80}
81
drh353f57e2000-08-02 12:26:28 +000082chng {2000 Aug 2} {
83<li>The file format for indices was changed slightly in order to work
84 around an inefficiency that can sometimes come up with GDBM when
85 there are large indices having many entries with the same key.
86 <font color="red">** Incompatible Change **</font></li>
87}
88
drhed380d82000-08-01 09:56:27 +000089chng {2000 Aug 1} {
90<li>The parser's stack was overflowing on a very long UPDATE statement.
91 This is now fixed.</li>
92}
93
drh1050f982000-07-31 11:59:02 +000094chng {2000 July 31} {

drh867f9ee2000-07-31 18:56:15 +000096<li>Added documentation on compiling to WindowsNT.</li>
drhd0752602000-07-31 14:10:47 +000097<li>Fix a configuration program for WindowsNT.</li>
drh1050f982000-07-31 11:59:02 +000098<li>Fix a configuration problem for HPUX.</li>
99}
100
drhe1b6a5b2000-07-29 13:06:59 +0000101chng {2000 July 29} {
102<li>Better labels on column names of the result.</li>
103}
104
drh2dfbbca2000-07-28 14:32:48 +0000105chng {2000 July 28} {
106<li>Added the <b>sqlite_busy_handler()</b>
107 and <b>sqlite_busy_timeout()</b> interface.</li>
108}
109
drh74c360e2000-06-23 19:16:23 +0000110chng {2000 June 23} {
111<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
112}
113
drh1fd14a72000-06-21 14:00:39 +0000114chng {2000 June 21} {
115<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
116 No functional changes to the code.</li>
117}
118
drh6206d502000-06-19 19:09:08 +0000119chng {2000 June 19} {
drh7ed19902000-06-19 19:10:28 +0000120<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.
121 This mistake has now been fixed.</li>
drh6206d502000-06-19 19:09:08 +0000122}
123
drh00400772000-06-16 20:51:26 +0000124chng {2000 June 16} {
125<li>Added the concatenate string operator (||)</li>
126}
127
drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000128chng {2000 June 12} {
drhe91cd0c2000-06-12 12:36:36 +0000129<li>Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter. The fcnt() function
130 returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
131 This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
132 queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
133 useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
134<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000135 The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
drh6de4f4c2000-06-12 12:20:48 +0000136}
137
drhdcc7c742000-06-09 03:51:26 +0000138chng {2000 June 8} {
139<li>Added lots of new test cases</li>
140<li>Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases</li>
141<li>Begin adding lots of new documentation</li>
142}
143
drh49c87802000-06-06 18:24:42 +0000144chng {2000 June 6} {
drh37f0b252000-06-09 03:52:04 +0000145<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
drhf5005772000-06-06 22:19:00 +0000146<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>
drh49c87802000-06-06 18:24:42 +0000147<li>Added support for using <b>(SELECT ...)</b> within expressions</li>
148<li>Added support for <b>IN</b> and <b>BETWEEN</b> operators</li>
149<li>Added support for <b>GROUP BY</b> and <b>HAVING</b></li>
150<li>NULL values are now reported ot the callback as a NULL pointer
151 rather than an empty string.</li>
152}
153
drh32aa77e2000-06-03 19:28:48 +0000154chng {2000 June 3} {
155<li>Added support for default values on columns of a table.</li>
156<li>Improved test coverage. Fixed a few obscure bugs found by the
157improved tests.</li>
158}
159
drhbed86902000-06-02 13:27:59 +0000160chng {2000 June 2} {
161<li>All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are
162now locked before any changes are made to any files.
163This makes it safe (I think) to access
164the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.</li>
165<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
166}
167
168chng {2000 June 1} {
169<li>Better support for file locking so that two or more processes
170(or threads)
171can access the same database simultaneously. More work needed in
172this area, though.</li>
173}
174
drh7203e282000-05-31 15:35:42 +0000175chng {2000 May 31} {
drhbf66fff2000-05-31 15:43:25 +0000176<li>Added support for aggregate functions (Ex: <b>COUNT(*)</b>, <b>MIN(...)</b>)
drhcce7d172000-05-31 15:34:51 +0000177to the SELECT statement.</li>
drh56d48ad2000-05-31 21:06:30 +0000178<li>Added support for <B>SELECT DISTINCT ...</B></li>
drhcce7d172000-05-31 15:34:51 +0000179}
180
drhdce2cbe2000-05-31 02:27:49 +0000181chng {2000 May 30} {
182<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
183<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B>
184but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
185and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
186<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after
187<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
188can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
189of PostgreSQL.</li>
190<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that that calls the
191<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
192files.</li>
193<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
194}
195
196chng {2000 May 29} {
197<li>Initial Public Release of Alpha code</li>
