123<li>File format version number was being stored in sqlite_master.tcl
124 multiple times. This was harmless, but unnecessary. It is now fixed.</li>
125}
126
drh353f57e2000-08-02 12:26:28 +0000127chng {2000 Aug 2} {
128<li>The file format for indices was changed slightly in order to work
129 around an inefficiency that can sometimes come up with GDBM when
130 there are large indices having many entries with the same key.
131 <font color="red">** Incompatible Change **</font></li>

149
drh2dfbbca2000-07-28 14:32:48 +0000150chng {2000 July 28} {
151<li>Added the <b>sqlite_busy_handler()</b>
152 and <b>sqlite_busy_timeout()</b> interface.</li>
153}
154
drh74c360e2000-06-23 19:16:23 +0000155chng {2000 June 23} {
156<li>Begin writing the <a href="vdbe.html">VDBE tutorial</a>.</li>
157}
158
drh1fd14a72000-06-21 14:00:39 +0000159chng {2000 June 21} {
160<li>Clean up comments and variable names. Changes to documentation.
161 No functional changes to the code.</li>
162}
163
drh6206d502000-06-19 19:09:08 +0000164chng {2000 June 19} {
drh7ed19902000-06-19 19:10:28 +0000165<li>Column names in UPDATE statements were case sensitive.

drhe91cd0c2000-06-12 12:36:36 +0000174<li>Added the fcnt() function to the SQL interpreter. The fcnt() function
175 returns the number of database "Fetch" operations that have occurred.
176 This function is designed for use in test scripts to verify that
177 queries are efficient and appropriately optimized. Fcnt() has no other
178 useful purpose, as far as I know.</li>
179<li>Added a bunch more tests that take advantage of the new fcnt() function.
drh61fc2c62000-06-12 12:29:25 +0000180 The new tests did not uncover any new problems.</li>
drh6de4f4c2000-06-12 12:20:48 +0000181}

185<li>Fix a few bugs discovered while adding test cases</li>
186<li>Begin adding lots of new documentation</li>
187}
188
drh49c87802000-06-06 18:24:42 +0000189chng {2000 June 6} {
drh37f0b252000-06-09 03:52:04 +0000190<li>Added compound select operators: <B>UNION</b>, <b>UNION ALL</B>,
drhf5005772000-06-06 22:19:00 +0000191<b>INTERSECT</b>, and <b>EXCEPT</b></li>

202improved tests.</li>

204
drhbed86902000-06-02 13:27:59 +0000205chng {2000 June 2} {
206<li>All database files to be modified by an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE are
207now locked before any changes are made to any files.
208This makes it safe (I think) to access
209the same database simultaneously from multiple processes.</li>
210<li>The code appears stable so we are now calling it "beta".</li>
211}
212
213chng {2000 June 1} {
214<li>Better support for file locking so that two or more processes
215(or threads)
216can access the same database simultaneously. More work needed in
217this area, though.</li>
218}
219
drh7203e282000-05-31 15:35:42 +0000220chng {2000 May 31} {

drhcce7d172000-05-31 15:34:51 +0000222to the SELECT statement.</li>

drhdce2cbe2000-05-31 02:27:49 +0000226chng {2000 May 30} {
227<li>Added the <b>LIKE</b> operator.</li>
228<li>Added a <b>GLOB</b> operator: similar to <B>LIKE</B>
229but it uses Unix shell globbing wildcards instead of the '%'
230and '_' wildcards of SQL.</li>
231<li>Added the <B>COPY</b> command patterned after
232<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> so that SQLite
233can now read the output of the <b>pg_dump</b> database dump utility
234of PostgreSQL.</li>
235<li>Added a <B>VACUUM</B> command that that calls the
236<b>gdbm_reorganize()</b> function on the underlying database
237files.</li>
238<li>And many, many bug fixes...</li>
239}
