Application developers can and should use these warnings to identify the need for new persistent indices in the schema. } PARAGRAPH { Do not confuse automatic indexes with the [internal indexes] (having names like "sqlite_autoindex_<i>table</i>_<i>N</i>") that are sometimes created to implement a [PRIMARY KEY constraint] or [UNIQUE constraint]. The automatic indexes described here exist only for the duration of a single query, are never persisted to disk, and are only visible to a single database connection. Internal indexes are part of the implementation of PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints, are long-lasting and persisted to disk, and are visible to all database connections. The term "autoindex" appears in the names of [internal indexes] for legacy reasons and does not indicate that internal indexes and automatic indexes are related. } </tcl> |
