SQLite Release 3.13.0 On 2016-05-18

  1. Postpone I/O associated with TEMP files for as long as possible, with the hope that the I/O can ultimately be avoided completely.
  2. Merged the session extension into trunk.
  3. Added the ".auth ON|OFF" command to the command-line shell.
  4. Added the "--indent" option to the ".schema" and ".fullschema" commands of the command-line shell, to turn on pretty-printing.
  5. Added the ".eqp full" option to the command-line shell, that does both EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN on each statement that is evaluated.
  6. Improved unicode filename handling in the command-line shell on Windows.
  7. Improved resistance against goofy query planner decisions caused by incomplete or incorrect modifications to the sqlite_stat1 table by the application.
  8. Added the sqlite3_db_config(db,SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION) interface which allows the sqlite3_load_extension() C-API to be enabled while keeping the load_extension() SQL function disabled for security.
  9. Change the temporary directory search algorithm on Unix to allow directories with write and execute permission, but without read permission, to serve as temporary directories. Apply this same standard to the "." fallback directory.

    Bug Fixes:

  10. Fix a problem with the multi-row one-pass DELETE optimization that was causing it to compute incorrect answers with a self-referential subquery in the WHERE clause. Fix for ticket dc6ebeda9396087
  11. Fix a possible segfault with DELETE when table is a rowid table with an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY and the WHERE clause contains a OR and the table has one or more indexes that are able to trigger the OR optimization, but none of the indexes reference any table columns other than the INTEGER PRIMARY KEY. Ticket 16c9801ceba49.
  12. When checking for the WHERE-clause push-down optimization, verify that all terms of the compound inner SELECT are non-aggregate, not just the last term. Fix for ticket f7f8c97e97597.
  13. Fix a locking race condition in Windows that can occur when two or more processes attempt to recover the same hot journal at the same time.

    Bug fixes backported into patch release 3.12.2 (2016-04-18):

  16. Fix a backwards compatibility problem in version 3.12.0 and 3.12.1: Columns declared as "INTEGER" PRIMARY KEY (with quotes around the datatype keyword) were not being recognized as an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, which resulted in an incompatible database file. Ticket 7d7525cb01b68
  17. Fix a bug (present since version 3.9.0) that can cause the DELETE operation to miss rows if PRAGMA reverse_unordered_selects is turned on. Ticket a306e56ff68b8fa5
  18. Fix a bug in the code generator that can cause incorrect results if two or more virtual tables are joined and the virtual table used in outer loop of the join has an IN operator constraint.
  19. Correctly interpret negative "PRAGMA cache_size" values when determining the cache size used for sorting large amounts of data.

    Bug fixes backported into patch release 3.12.1 (2016-04-08):

  20. Fix a boundary condition error introduced by version 3.12.0 that can result in a crash during heavy SAVEPOINT usage. Ticket 7f7f8026eda38.
  21. Fix views so that they inherit column datatypes from the table that they are defined against, when possible.
  22. Fix the query planner so that IS and IS NULL operators are able to drive an index on a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
