drh80afdca2000-08-22 13:27:22 +000078}

drh167a4b12000-08-17 09:49:59 +000086<li>Change the <b>sqlite</b> program so that it can read
87 databases for which it lacks write permission. (It used to

104
drhb97bedb2000-08-03 15:09:19 +0000105chng {2000 Aug 3} {
106<li>File format version number was being stored in sqlite_master.tcl
107 multiple times. This was harmless, but unnecessary. It is now fixed.</li>
108}
109
drh353f57e2000-08-02 12:26:28 +0000110chng {2000 Aug 2} {
111<li>The file format for indices was changed slightly in order to work
112 around an inefficiency that can sometimes come up with GDBM when
113 there are large indices having many entries with the same key.
114 <font color="red">** Incompatible Change **</font></li>
115}

128
drhe1b6a5b2000-07-29 13:06:59 +0000129chng {2000 July 29} {
130<li>Better labels on column names of the result.</li>
131}
132
drh2dfbbca2000-07-28 14:32:48 +0000133chng {2000 July 28} {
134<li>Added the <b>sqlite_busy_handler()</b>
135 and <b>sqlite_busy_timeout()</b> interface.</li>
136}
137
drh74c360e2000-06-23 19:16:23 +0000138chng {2000 June 23} {
139<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
140}
141
drh1fd14a72000-06-21 14:00:39 +0000142chng {2000 June 21} {
143<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
144 No functional changes to the code.</li>
145}
146
drh6206d502000-06-19 19:09:08 +0000147chng {2000 June 19} {
drh7ed19902000-06-19 19:10:28 +0000148<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.

drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000156chng {2000 June 12} {
drhe91cd0c2000-06-12 12:36:36 +0000157<li>Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter. The fcnt() function
158 returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
159 This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
160 queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
161 useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
162<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000163 The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
drh6de4f4c2000-06-12 12:20:48 +0000164}
165
drhdcc7c742000-06-09 03:51:26 +0000166chng {2000 June 8} {
167<li>Added lots of new test cases</li>
168<li>Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases</li>
169<li>Begin adding lots of new documentation</li>
170}
171
drh49c87802000-06-06 18:24:42 +0000172chng {2000 June 6} {
drh37f0b252000-06-09 03:52:04 +0000173<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
drhf5005772000-06-06 22:19:00 +0000174<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>
drh49c87802000-06-06 18:24:42 +0000175<li>Added support for using <b>(SELECT ...)</b> within expressions</li>
176<li>Added support for <b>IN</b> and <b>BETWEEN</b> operators</li>
177<li>Added support for <b>GROUP BY</b> and <b>HAVING</b></li>
178<li>NULL values are now reported ot the callback as a NULL pointer
179 rather than an empty string.</li>
180}
181
drh32aa77e2000-06-03 19:28:48 +0000182chng {2000 June 3} {

185improved tests.</li>
186}
187
drhbed86902000-06-02 13:27:59 +0000188chng {2000 June 2} {
189<li>All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are
190now locked before any changes are made to any files.
191This makes it safe (I think) to access
192the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.</li>
193<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
194}
195
196chng {2000 June 1} {
197<li>Better support for file locking so that two or more processes
198(or threads)
199can access the same database simultaneously. More work needed in
200this area, though.</li>
201}
202
drh7203e282000-05-31 15:35:42 +0000203chng {2000 May 31} {
drhbf66fff2000-05-31 15:43:25 +0000204<li>Added support for aggregate functions (Ex: <b>COUNT(*)</b>, <b>MIN(...)</b>)
drhcce7d172000-05-31 15:34:51 +0000205to the SELECT statement.</li>
drh56d48ad2000-05-31 21:06:30 +0000206<li>Added support for <B>SELECT DISTINCT ...</B></li>

drhdce2cbe2000-05-31 02:27:49 +0000209chng {2000 May 30} {
210<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
211<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B>
212but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
213and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
214<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after
215<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
216can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
217of PostgreSQL.</li>
218<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that that calls the
219<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
220files.</li>
221<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
222}
223
224chng {2000 May 29} {
