SQLite Release 3.47.0 On 2024-10-15

  1. Allow arbitrary expressions in the second argument to the RAISE function.
  2. If the RHS if the ->> operator is negative, then access array elements counting from the right.
  3. Fix a problem with rolling back hot journal files in the seldom-used unix-dotfile VFS.
  4. FTS5 tables can now be dropped even if they use a non-standard tokenizer that has not been registered.
  5. Fix the group_concat() aggregate function so that it returns an empty string, not a NULL, if receives a single input value which is an empty string.
  6. Performance optimizations:
    1. Improved reuse of subqueries associated with the IN operator, especially when the IN operator has been duplicated due to predicate push-down.
    2. Use a Bloom filter on subqueries on the right-hand side of the IN operator, in cases where that seems likely to improve performance.
    3. Ensure that queries like "SELECT func(a) FROM tab GROUP BY 1" only invoke the func() function once per row.
    4. Do not attempt is made to create automatic indexes on a column that is known to be non-selective because if its use in other indexes that have been analyzed.
    5. Adjustments to the query planner so that it produces better plans for star queries with a large number of dimension tables.
    6. Miscellaneous coding tweaks for faster runtimes.
  7. Enhancements to SQLite-related command-line programs:
    1. The sqlite3_analyzer utility now provides a break-out of statistics for WITHOUT ROWID tables.
    2. The sqldiff utility avoids creating an empty database if its second argument does not exist.
