ID: 64531 Updated by: frozenf...@php.net Reported by: phplists at stanvassilev dot com Summary: SQLite3's SQLite3Result::fetchArray runs the query again. Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SQLite related Operating System: Windows XP SP3 32bit PHP Version: 5.4.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The related source is: https://github.com/php/php- src/blob/master/ext/sqlite3/sqlite3.c#L1725 The solution to this bug might simply have to be a documentation note indicating the SQLite3::exec should be used for inserts instead of SQLite3::query, as ::query will necessarily re-execute to "step" through. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-27 09:25:40] phplists at stanvassilev dot com I hate when that happens, although I guess I'm clear: Typo in Expected Result: "Fetching should cause duplicate"; should be:"Fetching should NOT cause duplicate"; Typo in EXAMPLE2: "Another used has encountered an issue like" should be: "Another user has encountered an issue like" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-27 09:20:31] phplists at stanvassilev dot com Description: ------------ I was quite surprised to find that, but SQLite3 results cause the query to execute a second time when you try to fetch from them (after the query() call). This is not just a harmless performance issue. When the query is an INSERT query, it causes duplicate rows, and creates all kinds of other messes. IMPORTANT: If you perform the same tests with the SQLite3 driver for PDO, it doesn't have this issue (fetching results won't cause the query to run again). The issue is specific to the SQLite3 extension. Test script: --------------- EXAMPLE1: I caught that when I run an INSERT query through a generic routine which always uses query() and then runs fetchArray() in a loop to see if something was returned. Naturally INSERT queries return nothing, but trying to fetch on an empty result set should NOT produce side effects: $conn = new SQLite3('Log.sqlite', \SQLITE3_OPEN_READWRITE); $res = $conn->query('INSERT INTO Table VALUES(null, 1, 2, 3'); // Inserts a row here (the null is an auto-incrementing PK). $res->fetchArray()); // Inserts the *same* row data as above, again (with the next auto-incrementing PK number). $res->fetchArray()); // And yet again... EXAMPLE2: Another way to prove that something is fishy, is by registering a PHP function for use in SQLite3. Let's say we have a table with a column "id", and we have three rows, with "id" values 1, 2, 3. function testing($val) { echo 'Testing with: ' . $val . '<br>'; return true; } $conn = new SQLite3('Log.sqlite', \SQLITE3_OPEN_READWRITE); $conn->createFunction('testing', 'testing', 1); $res = $conn->query('SELECT * FROM Table WHERE testing(id)'); // "Testing with: 1" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1" (notice the repetition of 1 with the query above, this shouldn't occur). $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3" // At this point the next call to fetchArray() will return false, as it should. But what's happening internally? Something else: $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1" again. Huh? Why is it running that again? $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2" $arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3" // ...and so on forever. Another used has encountered an issue like this over 6 months ago (!) which means this bug has been around for a while: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12981332/php-sqlite3resultfetcharray-re-executes-query Expected result: ---------------- The SQLite3 extension should execute a query once, and each row of the result set should be executed once, like PDO's SQLite3 driver does. Fetching should cause duplicate INSERTS and twice computed results. Actual result: -------------- The SQLite3 extension executes the query again when fetching from the result set. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64531&edit=1
