| 23:52 | Add the <fancy_format> markup which works like <table_of_contents> but omits the actual table of contents. Begin writing documentation for the carray() function. Fix typos and adjust wording in the CLI document. check-in: e89a552dc3 user: drh tags: trunk | |

<h1>Availability</h1> <p>The carray() function is not compiled into SQLite by default. It is available as a [loadable extension] in the [https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact?ci=trunk&filename=ext/misc/carray.c|ext/misc/carray.c] source file. <p>The carray() function is a little dangerous. The first parameter is a 64-bit integer which gets cast into a pointer to an array. In an application that runs user-generated or untrusted SQL, the carray() function could be used to crash the appliation or to leak sensitive information that the user is not suppose to have access to. For that reason, the carray() function will never be a standard part of SQLite. In that way, carray() will only be available in applications that deliberately request it, and which therefore presumably have protections in place to prevent misuse. <h1>Details</h1> <p>The carray() function takes two or three arguments. The first argument is a 64-bit integer that will be cast into a pointer to the C-language array that is to be returned by the function. The second argument is the number of elements in the array. The optional ................................................................................ <li> 'int64' <li> 'double' <li> 'char*' </ol> <p>The default datatype is 'int32'. <h1>Example Usage</h1> <i>TBD...</i> |

In an application that runs user-generated or untrusted SQL, the carray() function could be used to crash the appliation or to leak sensitive information. For that reason, the carray() function will never be a standard part of SQLite. Carray() will only be available in applications that deliberately request it. Presumably, applications that deliberately link carray() will also have protections in place to prevent carray() from being misused. <h1>Details</h1> <p>The carray() function takes two or three arguments. The first argument is a 64-bit integer that will be cast into a pointer to the C-language array that is to be returned by the function. The second argument is the number of elements in the array. The optional ................................................................................ <li> 'int64' <li> 'double' <li> 'char*' </ol> <p>The default datatype is 'int32'. <p>The carray() function can be used in the FROM clause of a query. For example, to query two entries from the OBJ table using rowids taken from a C-language array at address 0x7b3830: <codeblock> SELECT obj.* FROM obj, carray(0x7b3830, 10) AS x WHERE obj.rowid=x.value; </codeblock> <p>This query gives the same result: <codeblock> SELECT * FROM obj WHERE rowid IN carray(0x7b3830, 10); </codeblock> |
