newsitem {2014-02-11} {Release 3.8.3.1} {
<p>SQLite [version 3.8.3.1] fixes a bug present in versions 3.8.1,
   3.8.2 and 3.8.3 that can cause queries to omit valid out rows.
   Upgrading from those versions is recommended.
   
<p>The problem only comes up if SQLite is compiled with either the
   [SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3] or [SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4] compile-time options.
   In that case, if a query has a WHERE clause that contains expressions
   like this:
   <blockquote>
WHERE (expr1 OR expr2 OR ... OR exprN) AND column IS NOT NULL
   </blockquote>
   Where all of expr1 through exprN are suitable for use by indexes,
   then during query planning SQLite might mistakenly converted
   the "column IS NOT NULL" term into "column>NULL".  But the latter
   term is never true, and so the query would return no rows.

<p>The trouble ticket for this bug is
   &#91;[http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/4c86b126f2|4c86b126f2]&#93;.
   It is recommended that all users upgrade to avoid this problem.
