2022-11-29
17:52
Change the handling of hwtime.h to make it easier to compile performance measurement builds that make use of hwtime.h. This should not affect productions builds. (check-in: f64a2242 user: drh tags: trunk)
2022-11-28
21:17

Rework the covering index checking routine, whereIsCoveringIndex(), so that it can return a "maybe" result for aggregate queries where we are not exactly sure. The index is scored as if it is covering, but the main table is still opened. (check-in: b8eec421 user: drh tags: covering-indexed-expr)
2022-11-26
20:52

16:32
Fix #ifdefs so that restrictions (8) and (9) of the push-down optimization are still enforced even if compiled with SQLITE_OMIT_WINDOWFUNC. This fixes a bug introduced by check-in [346a3b12b861ce7b]. (check-in: 09e1e42e user: drh tags: trunk)

Aggregates with GROUP BY now make use of expressions on indexes. This code works and gets the correct answer for the test case in the ticket. Lots more testing and documentation is needed, however. (check-in: 8dcf9f20 user: drh tags: agg-with-indexed-expr)
17:56
This attempt at modifying AggInfo to make use of indexed expressions does not work. It gets an incorrect answer for the test case shown in the ticket. (check-in: 84c06023 user: drh tags: agg-with-indexed-expr)

Rename the SELECTTRACE macro to TREETRACE, so that is corresponds to the new CLI command. Renumber all of the bits in the bitmask used to enable various kinds of tracing, and add a trace bitmap decoder in sqliteInt.h. Changes to debugging logic only.

15:43
Since the memory registers used by the columns and functions of an AggInfo object are sequential, it is not neecessary to remember each register separately. We can simply remember the first one and do the math when others are needed. (check-in: dc5bd349 user: drh tags: agg-with-indexed-expr)
14:31
Omit the unnecessary AggInfo.mnReg field. (check-in: d79c58ef user: drh tags: agg-with-indexed-expr)

16:40

13:58
Split out the documentation for sqlite3_value_encoding() into its own page and make it clear that this interface is intended for testing and debugging only. Forum thread c9f445453da950ad. Comment changes only - no changes to code. (check-in: 9048a766 user: drh tags: trunk)

2022-11-14

Previous change to the fake_big_file command in the test harness was not correct. This one should fix the problem. (check-in: 6ee57a2e user: drh tags: trunk)
18:57
Change the fake_big_file test command so that it fails for files larger than 2MB on Windows, as we have observed that Window10 will sometimes bluescreen when operating on very large sparse files. (check-in: d39ffd2a user: drh tags: trunk)

2022-11-03
21:08
Experimental changes that try to identify indexes as covering when they contain expressions which do cover all data uses. This check-in does not work, because the AggInfo object might still refer to individual columns. The purpose of this check-in is to preserve the idea. I might come back to it later. (Leaf check-in: 018914a5 user: drh tags: indexed-expr-exp)
