drhc6b52df2002-01-04 03:09:29 +000021<li>Bug fix: An attempt to delete a single row of a table with a WHERE
22 clause of "ROWID=x" when no such rowid exists was causing an error.</li>
drhe638bbf2002-01-07 19:04:21 +000023<li>Bug fix: Passing in a NULL as the 3rd parameter to <b>sqlite_open()</b>
24 would sometimes cause a coredump.</li>
drh74e24cd2002-01-09 03:19:59 +000025<li>Bug fix: DROP TABLE followed by a CREATE TABLE with the same name all
26 within a single transaction was causing a coredump.</li>
27<li>Makefile updates from A. Rottmann</li>

31<li>Columns of type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY are actually used as the primary
32 key in underlying B-Tree representation of the table.</li>
33<li>Several obscure, unrelated bugs were found and fixed while
34 implemented the integer primary key change of the previous bullet.</li>
drh7c917d12001-12-16 20:05:05 +000035<li>Added the ability to specify "*" as part of a larger column list in
36 the result section of a SELECT statement. For example:
37 <nobr>"<b>SELECT rowid, * FROM table1;</b>"</nobr>.</li>
38<li>Updates to comments and documentation.</li>

42<li>Fix a bug in <b>CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE</b> which was causing the
43 table to be initially allocated in the main database file instead
44 of in the separate temporary file. This bug could cause the library
drhc38f3d52001-12-15 03:00:42 +000045 to suffer an assertion failure and it could cause "page leaks" in the
drh4cbd68f2001-12-15 02:58:18 +000046 main database file.
47<li>Fix a bug in the b-tree subsystem that could sometimes cause the first
48 row of a table to be repeated during a database scan.</li>

52<li>Fix the locking mechanism yet again to prevent
53 <b>sqlite_exec()</b> from returning SQLITE_PROTOCOL

55 the locking code. This change effects both POSIX and Windows users.</li>

drhf5bf0a72001-11-23 00:24:12 +000086<li>Fix a bug that could (rarely) cause the database to become
87 unreadable after a DROP TABLE due to corruption to the SQLITE_MASTER
88 table.</li>
89<li>Change the code so that version 2.1.1 databases that were rendered
90 unreadable by the above bug can be read by this version of
91 the library even though the SQLITE_MASTER table is (slightly)
92 corrupted.</li>

120<li>Patches from Christian Werner to improve ODBC compatibility and to
121 fix a bug in the round() function.</li>
122<li>Plug some memory leaks that use to occur if malloc() failed.
123 We have been and continue to be memory leak free as long as
124 malloc() works.</li>
125<li>Changes to some test scripts so that they work on Windows in
126 addition to Unix.</li>

152<li>Bug fix: an assertion was failing if the disk holding the database
153 file became full or stopped accepting writes for some other reason.
154 New tests were added to detect similar problems in the future.</li>
drhbf4133c2001-10-13 02:59:08 +0000155<li>Added new operators: <b>&amp;</b> (bitwise-and)

drh382c0242001-10-06 16:33:02 +0000163<li>Removed some unused "#include <unistd.h>" that were causing problems
164 for VC++.</li>
drhf57b3392001-10-08 13:22:32 +0000165<li>Fixed <b>sqlite.h</b> so that it is usable from C++</li>
drh382c0242001-10-06 16:33:02 +0000166<li>Added the FULL_COLUMN_NAMES pragma. When set to "ON", the names of
167 columns are reported back as TABLE.COLUMN instead of just COLUMN.</li>
drhad75e982001-10-09 04:19:46 +0000168<li>Added the TABLE_INFO() and INDEX_INFO() pragmas to help support the

177 newlines anywhere in the data. This is an old bug that was carried
178 forward from version 1.0. To fix it, the ".dump" output no longer
179 uses the COPY command. It instead generates INSERT statements.</li>
180<li>Extend the expression syntax to support "expr NOT NULL" (with a
181 space between the "NOT" and the "NULL") in addition to "expr NOTNULL"
182 (with no space).</li>

203 to "SQLus" was abandoned in favor of keeping the "SQLite" name and
204 bumping the major version number.</li>
