2023-06-30
23:42
Fix an issue with the "+" attribute in printf(). (check-in: bdfd1eb1 user: drh tags: fp-to-decimal-refactor)
23:18
Begin cutting over sqlite3FpDecode() into printf(). The code in this check-in gets a lot right, but there are still some formatting discrepencies. (check-in: c134d423 user: drh tags: fp-to-decimal-refactor)
19:41
Add decimal rounding to the sqlite3FpDecode() routine. (check-in: 27871140 user: drh tags: fp-to-decimal-refactor)
18:35
Experiments with a new algorithm for converting ieee-754 binary64 numbers into decimal. (check-in: e923405e user: drh tags: fp-to-decimal-refactor)
14:01
Completely unwind the enhanced precision sum() from [a915f15a916af698] so as not to offend UBSAN and OSS-Fuzz. (check-in: 85be05b6 user: drh tags: trunk)
12:59
Omit the doubleToReal() function in vdbemem.c. Use the equivalent sqlite3RealToI64() function in its place. (check-in: 625820e8 user: drh tags: trunk)
11:51
Make the sum() function less precise and slower in order to avoid harmless signed integer overflow UBSAN warnings from OSS-Fuzz. (check-in: 1be0646a user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-29
23:03
Cleanup and commenting of the new DECIMAL extension code. No functional changes. (check-in: 51244816 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:28
Enhancements to the DECIMAL extension: (1) If the argument to decimal(X) is a floating point value (or an 8-byte blob), the floating point value is expanded into its exact decimal representation. (2) Function decimal_sci(X) works the same except it returns the result in scientific notation. (3) New function decimal_pow2(N) returns the full decimal expansion of the N-th integer power of 2. (check-in: 8baf8c10 user: drh tags: trunk)
17:48
Fix harmless compiler warnings about unused function arguments. (check-in: 24927c13 user: drh tags: trunk)
17:36
Improve the range of floating-point numbers that can be handled as integers for numeric-to-text conversion. (check-in: 41580ba4 user: drh tags: trunk)
17:26
Further refine the dtostr() testing function in the CLI so that it takes an optional second parameter which is the number of significant digits to display. (check-in: 2f9d4444 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:48
Change the (undocumented) dtostr() SQL function in the CLI so that it only shows the first 26 significant digits - 10 more digits than are available in a 64-bit double. (check-in: d758859f user: drh tags: trunk)
14:49
Add the decimal_sci(X) function to the Decimal extension for showing a decimal value in scientific notation: +D.DDDDDe+DD (check-in: 61d49239 user: drh tags: trunk)
12:14
CLI enhancements to facilitate SQLite core testing: (1) Add built-in functions strtod() and dtostr() that convert text to floating point and back using C-library routines. (2) Do not disable all of ".testctrl" without --unsafe-testing, but only those subcommands of .testctrl that are actually dangerous. (check-in: 669996a8 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-28
12:02
Enhance the SUM() aggregate (and related AVG() and TOTAL()) so that the running sum is accurate to about 100 bits. (check-in: a915f15a user: drh tags: trunk)
11:46
Improved accuracy of floating-point conversion constants as suggested by forum post 598d32f6135c41c1. (check-in: 4943e8a1 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-26
19:57
Simple test cases for the enhanced SUM() function. (Closed-Leaf check-in: c66ef244 user: drh tags: extended-precision-fp)
19:35
Use ideas from T. J. Dekker in "A Floating-Point Technique for Extending the Available Precision" (1971-07-26) to enhance the accuracy of the SUM() aggregate function in cases where input magnitudes vary wildly. (check-in: 439fc00f user: drh tags: extended-precision-fp)
2023-06-25
20:23
Fix typo in the README.md file. (check-in: 6d435d1d user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-23
11:10
Add support for the octet_length() SQL function, with low-level optimizations that avoid loading large string content from disk when the argument to octet_length() is a table column. (check-in: fa5f7786 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-22
21:19
Optimize the argument to the octet_length() function so that it does not attempt to read content from disk. (Closed-Leaf check-in: 8b8ea4e3 user: drh tags: octet_length)
15:26
basic test cases for octet_length(). (check-in: 034a5fe2 user: drh tags: octet_length)
14:50
Merge the latest trunk enhancements into the reuse-schema branch. (check-in: 905c6c9d user: drh tags: reuse-schema)
14:40
Merge the latest trunk enhancements into the bedrock branch. (check-in: 0551b79b user: drh tags: bedrock)
14:20
Merge the latest trunk enhancements into the wal2 branch. (check-in: 80ac494f user: drh tags: wal2)
13:28
Merge recent trunk enhancements into the begin-concurrent branch. (check-in: 5bd26fea user: drh tags: begin-concurrent)
13:01
Merge recent trunk enhancements into the octet_length branch. (check-in: d35c2148 user: drh tags: octet_length)
01:03
Simplification to the getAndInitPage() routine that results in improved performance. (check-in: 2e9734c2 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-21
21:47
Improved comment on the getAndInitPage() in btree.c. No code changes. (check-in: dc468cfd user: drh tags: trunk)
18:12 Edit [84731a1fd25bd74c|84731a1f]: Mark "Closed". (artifact: c03431e2 user: drh)
18:12
This is a failed attempt to optimize the usage of the page cache in sqlite3BtreeIndexMoveto() by deferring calls to sqlite3PagerUnref() for child pages of the btree until we are sure those pages will not be reused. The code does not work in two senses: (1) Many tests still fail. (2) The performance gain is less than 2 million cycles and does not seem worth the extra risk and complication. (Closed-Leaf check-in: 84731a1f user: drh tags: pcache-opt)
14:11
Add the --pcachetrace option to the CLI. (check-in: 61dfa92b user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-20

15:48
Avoid unnecessary calls to sqlite3CodeRowTrigger(). (check-in: 27c174db user: drh tags: trunk)
11:46
Performance optimization in sqlite3VdbeAddOp4Int(). (check-in: 456a2432 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-19
23:27
Avoid unnecessary NULL pointer checks on calls to sqlite3WalkExpr(). (check-in: 73d86a12 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:54
Small performance improvement and size reduction by recognizing that no SQL keywords have less than 2 characters. (check-in: 6b3d25b7 user: drh tags: trunk)
13:09
Fix large integer constants so that they work on older C compilers. (check-in: 3c94f878 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-17
15:42
Fix harmless compiler warnings that show up on 32-bit RaspberryPI builds. (check-in: bc4d20f3 user: drh tags: trunk)
15:22
In date/time functions, fix the rendering of "subsecond" and the computeHMS() routine to better deal with floating point rounding errors that arise on some 32-bit systems. (check-in: e46a00ae user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-16
14:39
Address various harmless compiler warnings from forum post d526da8ee4. (check-in: 365caf2f user: drh tags: trunk)
11:05
Fix the pager such that if the xOpen() message sends back the SQLITE_OPEN_MEMORY flag, the pager is opened in journal-mode MEMORY, even if compiled with SQLITE_OMIT_DESERIALIZE. No changes to the logic as long as that OMIT flag is omitted. We need to better document the behavior of xOpen to describe this. (check-in: da1252b2 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-15
17:56 Edit [330219863c4d9554|33021986]: Mark "Closed". Edit check-in comment. (artifact: 4f977e08 user: drh)
16:02
Updates to the README.md file. (check-in: fa5cb6da user: drh tags: trunk)
15:43
Fix harmless typo in a comment. (check-in: 6937986a user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-14
13:45
Add SQLITE_DBCONFIG_RANDOM_SCANORDER. This option causes unconstrained table and index scan to happen in a random order, in order to help detect under-constrained queries in applications. Closed because this feature does not add any new capabilities that are not already available with SQLITE_DBCONFIG_REVERSE_SCANORDER, but it does make the behavior non-deterministic, and hence more difficult to test. (Closed-Leaf check-in: 33021986 user: drh tags: random-scanorder)
12:19
Work around what appears to be a GCC 32-bit optimization problem in the computeHMS() routine of the date/time logic. (check-in: aebdbcbe user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-13
18:10
Improved sqlite3_error_offset() values for bare column errors on '*' and 'table.*' expressions in SELECT statements. (check-in: 118fe600 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:55
Extended the time-diff format so that it can have a 5-digit year. This enables time differences to span the full range of dates supported by SQLite. Also fix some inaccuracies in the computation of time differences and add new test cases. (check-in: d57ddbf4 user: drh tags: trunk)
10:47 Edit [c8ef3b787419ccb7|c8ef3b78]: Mark "Closed". Edit check-in comment. (artifact: c8f7f9cb user: drh)
2023-06-12
18:22
Initialize a local variable in FTS3 to avoid a GCC compiler warning. (check-in: 7ec4ab32 user: drh tags: trunk)
14:26
The decision was made to halt work on this enhancement. See the discussion beginning with forum post 4c8a673560d7999a. The changes on this branch work, but they add unnecessary user complexity with no corresponding benefit. (Closed-Leaf check-in: c8ef3b78 user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
14:16
Fix a buffer over-read that could occur as part of an fts5 secure-delete operation on a database containing corrupt fts5 records. dbsqlfuzz a463eac437783bcd246cc675b87842618a569cae (check-in: 44fdc798 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
14:12
Make sure temporary sqlite3_value objects used by STAT4 are reset to NULL prior to being reused, to prevent a memory leak associated with the custom xDel string value destructor. dbsqlfuzz 65209ab5d5730e4fd14fff9d024325a77239036e. (check-in: 2cf197a2 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
14:09
Defer setting the BTS_PAGESIZE_FIXED flag until after we are certain there are no errors and the page size has been set. Forum post b901808856. (check-in: cefaf128 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
14:03
Extra space to prevent a buffer overread on corrupt STAT4 records. dbsqlfuzz 7128d1b41ce9df2c007f9c24c1e89e2f1b2590ca. (check-in: 566c4c14 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
13:57
Simplify a memcpy() in defragmentPage(). It now might copy more content than is strictly necessary, but runs faster and uses less code space. Possible reasons for the improved performance: (1) the copy is now always 8-byte aligned, (2) fewer intermediate results are required which means less register pressure which helps the compiler to optimize the subroutine. (check-in: 1292d676 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
13:53
Fix CLI fault on missing -nonce reported by forum post f8c14a1134. (check-in: 67cf7c40 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
13:46
Fix a problem causing an infinite loop in the recovery extension when processing a corrupt free-block list. (check-in: d21c06b7 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
13:43
Fix an issue with sqldiff reported by forum post 9bd2155bdfae25a7. (check-in: 50721074 user: drh tags: branch-3.42)
13:35 Edit [a35c50eca907d0cf|a35c50ec]: Edit check-in comment. (artifact: 3ec88134 user: drh)
13:31
Check-in [70e12efd1b189560] left a path through lockBtree() that failed to set the BTS_PAGESIZE_FIXED flag. That omission is fixed by this check-in. dbsqlfuzz 02c9ab74eb0619c9ae3b894ce157fae1d7f94645 (check-in: 30dcc872 user: drh tags: trunk)
2023-06-11
22:05

2023-06-10
19:33
Defer setting the BTS_PAGESIZE_FIXED flag until after we are certain there are no errors and the page size has been set. (check-in: 70e12efd user: drh tags: trunk)

17:05
Extra space to prevent a buffer overread on corrupt STAT4 records. dbsqlfuzz 7128d1b41ce9df2c007f9c24c1e89e2f1b2590ca. (check-in: b9913528 user: drh tags: trunk)
10:37
Enhance fuzzcheck so that it understand the sqlite3_db_config() and optimization settings from unused bits in the database header, which dbsqlfuzz is now using. (check-in: 918708c6 user: drh tags: trunk)
09:24
Fix a potential UAF in the parser caused by the changes on this branch. (check-in: c29ec769 user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
2023-06-09
19:24
Naming consistency: Always use the singular "STRICT AGGREGATE", not the plural. (check-in: 275d056e user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
18:58
Improved sqlite3_error_offset() values for bare column errors on '*' and 'table.*' expressions in SELECT statements. (check-in: 446ad162 user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
18:30
The -DSQLITE_STRICT_AGGREGATES compile-time option enables SQLITE_DBCONFIG_STRICT_AGGREGATE by default. (check-in: cd1f6b27 user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
15:54
Simplify a memcpy() in defragmentPage(). It now might copy more content than is strictly necessary, but runs faster and uses less code space. Possible reasons for the improved performance: (1) the copy is now always 8-byte aligned, (2) fewer intermediate results are required which means less register pressure which helps the compiler to optimize the subroutine. (check-in: 6e5607ae user: drh tags: trunk)
13:08
Experimental change to add a per-connection option that raises an error if a bare column appears in an aggregate query. (check-in: f5878911 user: drh tags: newbie-safe-aggregates)
2023-06-08
16:19
Improvements to the src-verify.c utility program so that it continues to muddle through a corrupt manifest file, making the most sense of it that it can and reporting "manifest" has having changed at the end. (check-in: 157b5d25 user: drh tags: trunk)
15:30
Fix the amagamation generator so that it works one a clean source tree. (check-in: f502610d user: drh tags: trunk)

22:59
Fix harmless compiler warnings in tool/src-verify.c (check-in: 0e79ee97 user: drh tags: trunk)
22:56
Enhancement to tool/src-verify.c to also check the manifest.uuid file. (check-in: a39a5694 user: drh tags: trunk)

Generalize the LEFT JOIN strength reduction optimization so that it works for RIGHT and FULL JOIN as well. Rename it to the "OUTER JOIN strength reduction" optimization. (check-in: d747afda user: drh tags: trunk)
16:40
If the filename argument to sqlite3_load_extension() is an empty string, then raise an error. It turns out that if dlopen() is called with an empty filename, it tries to load the current executable. And then if the caller requests some other function from the current executable, mischief can result. (check-in: d0168855 user: drh tags: trunk)
00:28
Add an ALWAYS() on an unreachable branch. (check-in: a00928d4 user: drh tags: trunk)
