SQLite Release 3.37.0 On 2021-10-20

  1. When adding columns that contain a CHECK constraint or a generated column containing a NOT NULL constraint, the ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN now checks new constraints against preexisting rows in the database and will only proceed if no constraints are violated.
  2. The sqlite3_deserialize() does not and has never worked for the TEMP database. That limitation is now noted in the documentation.
  3. Query planner improvements:
    1. ORDER BY clauses on subqueries and views are omitted if removing them does not change the semantics of the query
  4. The generate_series table-valued function extension is modified so that the first parameter ("START") is now required. This is done as a way to demonstrate how to write table-valued functions with required parameters. The legacy behavior is available using the -DZERO_ARGUMENT_GENERATE_SERIES compile-time option.
  5. Allow the use of the SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE flag in sqlite3_open_v2(). If present and if the database already exists, return the new SQLITE_OPEN_EXISTS extended error code.
  6. Added new sqlite3_changes64() and sqlite3_total_changes64() interfaces.

    Hashes:

  7. SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: pending
  8. SHA3-256 for sqlite3.c: pending
