doc {Appropriate Uses For SQLite} {whentouse.html} {
  This document describes situations where SQLite is an appropriate
  database engine to use versus situations where a client/server
  database engine might be a better choice.
}

doc {Distinctive Features} {different.html} {
  This document enumerates and describes some of the features of
  SQLite that make it different from other SQL database engines.
}
doc {How SQLite Is Tested} {testing.html} {
  The reliability and robustness of SQLite is achieved in large part
  by thorough and careful testing.  This document identifies the
  many tests that occur before very release of SQLite.
}
doc {Copyright} {copyright.html} {
  SQLite is in the public domain.  This document describes what that means
  and the implications for contributors.
}
doc {Frequently Asked Questions} {faq.html} {
  The title of the document says all...

heading {SQLite Programming Interfaces} {
  Documentation describing the APIs used to program SQLite, and the SQL
  dialect that it interprets.
}

  A very quick introduction to programming with SQLite.
}
doc {Introduction to the C/C++ API } {cintro.html} {
  This document introduces the C/C++ API. Users should read this document 
  before the C/C++ API Reference Guide linked below.
}
doc {C/C++ API Reference} {c3ref/intro.html} {
  This document describes each API function separately.
}
doc {Tcl API} {tclsqlite.html} {
  A description of the TCL interface bindings for SQLite.
}
doc {SQL Syntax} {lang.html} {
  This document describes the SQL language that is understood by
  SQLite.  
}
doc {Pragma commands} {pragma.html} {
  This document describes SQLite performance tuning options and other 
  special purpose database commands.
}
doc {Version 3 DataTypes } {datatype3.html} {
  SQLite version 3 introduces the concept of manifest typing, where the
  type of a value is associated with the value itself, not the column that
  it is stored in.
  This page describes data typing for SQLite version 3 in further detail.
}
doc {Null Handling} {nulls.html} {
  Different SQL database engines handle NULLs in different ways.  The
  SQL standards are ambiguous.  This document describes how SQLite handles
  NULLs in comparison with other SQL database engines.
}
doc {Unsupported SQL} {omitted.html} {
  This page describes features of SQL that SQLite does not support.
}


heading {SQLite Features and Extensions} {
  Pages describing specific features or extension modules of SQLite.
}

doc {Using The Online Backup Interface} {backup.html} {
  The [sqlite3_backup_init | online-backup interface] can be used to
  copy content from a disk file into an in-memory database or vice
  versa and it can make a hot backup of a live database.  This application
  note gives examples of how.
}
doc {Sharing Cache Mode} {sharedcache.html} {
  Version 3.3.0 and later supports the ability for two or more
  database connections to share the same page and schema cache.
  This feature is useful for certain specialized applications.
}
doc {Unlock Notify} {unlock_notify.html} {
  The "unlock notify" feature can be used in conjunction with shared
  cache mode to more efficiently manage resource conflict (database
  table locks).
}
doc {Asynchronous IO Mode} {asyncvfs.html} {
  This page describes the asynchronous IO extension developed alongside


  SQLite. Using asynchronous IO can cause SQLite to appear more responsive







  by delegating database writes to a background thread.



}
doc {Virtual R-Tree Tables} {rtree.html} {

  A description of the SQLite R-Tree extension. An R-Tree is a specialized


  data structure that supports fast multi-dimensional range queries often
  used in geo-spatial systems.
}

heading {Upgrading SQLite, Backwards Compatibility}

  A document describing the differences between SQLite version 3.5.9
  and 3.6.0.
}
doc {Moving From SQLite 3.4 to 3.5} {34to35.html} {
  A document describing the differences between SQLite version 3.4.2
  and 3.5.0.
}
doc {Release History} {changes.html} {
  A chronology of SQLite releases going back to version 1.0.0
}
doc {Backwards Compatibility} {formatchng.html} {
  This document details all of the incompatible changes to the SQLite
  file format that have occurred since version 1.0.0.
}

heading {SQLite Technical/Design Documentation}

doc {Temporary Files Used By SQLite} {tempfiles.html} {
  SQLite can potentially use many different temporary files when
  processing certain SQL statements.  This document describes the
  many kinds of temporary files that SQLite uses and offers suggestions
  for avoiding them on systems where creating a temporary file is an
  expensive operation.
}

doc {How SQLite Implements Atomic Commit} {atomiccommit.html} {

  A description of the logic within SQLite that implements
  transactions with atomic commit, even in the face of power
  failures.

}

doc {Locking And Concurrency<br>In SQLite Version 3} {lockingv3.html} {
  A description of how the new locking code in version 3 increases
  concurrency and decreases the problem of writer starvation.
}

doc {Overview Of The Optimizer} {optoverview.html} {
  A quick overview of the various query optimizations that are
  attempted by the SQLite code generator.
}






































doc {Architecture} {arch.html} {
  An architectural overview of the SQLite library, useful for those who want
  to hack the code.
}








doc {VDBE Opcodes} {opcode.html} {
  This document is an automatically generated description of the various
  opcodes that the VDBE understands.  Programmers can use this document as
  a reference to better understand the output of EXPLAIN listings from
  SQLite.
}

doc {SQLite File Format} {fileformat.html} {
