There was an issue with the LIKE optimization when there was an ESCAPE
clause and the PRAGMA case_sensitive_like=ON setting was in effect.
That particular combination of circumstances should work, but it did
not.  All the other combinations are fine.

The fix is here: https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/6ae4b8c525f446dd

[sqlite] LIKE Query with ESCAPE character

[julian robichaux]

Hi, I hope this is a simple question that someone can answer without a lot 
of trouble (maybe I am simply misunderstanding something).

According to https://www.sqlite.org/optoverview.html#the_like_optimization 
, a LIKE query can use an ESCAPE character and still be optimized as long 
as the character is single-byte. According to 
https://www.sqlite.org/changes.html#version_3_21_0 this was added in 
version 3.21.0.

I am a C++ programmer currently using version 3.24.0.

I set PRAGMA case_sensitive_like=1 so my LIKE queries are not 
case-sensitive. My table has a column named 'path' that is set as UNIQUE, 
so the column is auto-indexed. When I run this:

EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE path LIKE 'a%'

I get this as a return value:

SEARCH TABLE MyTable USING INDEX sqlite_autoindex_MyTable (path>? AND 
pathhttp://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Thanks for the reminder. Note though that last time I checked [1], this
didn't work for a multi-column index, even if the column involved in a
prefix-based like-where-clause is first in the index. --DD

Great trick! But it hardly qualifies as user friendly though, no?

For our app, I added a chr() SQL function that take an arbitrary number of
integers and UTF-8 encodes them:

register_function(-1, "chr", codepoint_to_utf8);

so the above becomes

... 'somedata/' || chr(1114111)

Of course, the fact that it's a decimal code-point number is not ideal
since less expressive than

... 'somedata/' || chr(0x10)

but hexa-literals are not supported in SQL it seems (I tried just SQLite
and Oracle).

My $0.02 is that such a chr() function could/should be built-in to SQLite.
--DD

PS: Something else that should also be part of SQLite built-in is the
optimization that col LIKE 'prefix%' queries should implicitly try to use
an index on col. I suspect it may be more difficult than I expect because
of collation, but absent custom collations, I wish that optimization was
available.

Unicode characters can have more than 16 bits, of course.

RFC 3629 restricts UTF-8-encoded characters to U+10.
In SQL, that would be:

  ... 'somedata/' || CAST(x'F48FBFBF' AS TEXT)

Ah.  There you have a problem because internally SQLite does not handle 
language support within Unicode characters.  I'm going to let someone with 
SQLite/Unicode expertise answer this one, but it may be that with Unicode even 
your LIKE command would not have worked properly and you should use something 
like

SELECT * FROM emp WHERE substr(column_test,1,9) = 'somedata/'

Which will slower because it will not be able to use an index for optimization. 
 But it might be faster than the LIKE because using a regexp for matching seems 
likely to me to be slower than substr().

If the format of your 'LIKE' clause is always that you have fixed text at the 
beginning, then you can speed up your search a lot.  Create an index on the 
'column_test' field, and use this query:

SELECT * FROM emp WHERE column_test BETWEEN "somedata/" AND "somedata/zzz"

replace 'zzz' with '~~~' or something similar if you're being really fussy.

The query might go faster if you do:

CREATE INDEX emp_idx1 ON emp(column_test COLLATE nocase);

Or, if you really intended to do a case-sensitive search, you could say:

SELECT * FROM emp WHERE column_test GLOB 'somedata/*';

Re: [sqlite] SQLite Like Query Optimization

[Kalyani Phadke]

 I have downloaded the amalgamation . I used devC++ builder/compiler by
bloodshed software.
The steps I took to compile the project
1. Create SQLite3 Project 
2. Add files to project (sqlite3.c,sqlite3.h,sqlite3ext.h)
3.Go to Project -project options
4.Under Compiler tab ,select optimization->further optimization->best
optimization.
5. Under parameters tab,Additional command line options
Compiler:   -DBUILDING_DLL=1
-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1
Linker: --no-export-all-symbols --add-stdcall-alias
--def sqlite3.def 
6.Create Win32 dll
7. Compile
8. Creates Sqlite3.dll without any error.

Now I copied this file into D:\Databases\SQLitedb\SqliteFTS folder.
I also copied Sqlite3.exe to this folder.

>From the command prompt I tried the following things

C:\>D:\Databases\SQLitedb\SqliteFTS\Sqlite3.exe

Sqlite> .load libfts3.dll
Unable to open shared library libfts3.dll

Sqlite>select load_extension('libfts3.dll');
Sql error:unable to open shared library libfts3.dll

Sqlite> .load fts3
Unable to open shared library [fts3]

Sqlite>select load_extension('fts3');
Sql error:unable to open shared library [fts3]


So how can I use newly created Sqlite3.dll from command prompt to load
fts.

Re: [sqlite] SQLite Like Query Optimization

[Kalyani Phadke]

 I have not recompiled sqlite 3 before. I am having trouble to find
documentation.

Could anyone pls tell me how can I compile SQLite3 source code on
windows xp machine. Do I need to download FTS3 files ? Where can I find
those files? How can I add this extension to my sqlite???

Thanks

Re: [sqlite] SQLite Like Query Optimization

[Kalyani Phadke]

 I am trying to use FTS3 with SQlite3 . Do I need to recompile SQlite3
to enable FTS3?

>From the command prompt I tried the following things

Sqlite> .load libfts3.dll
Unable to open shared library libfts3.dll
Sqlite>select load_extension('libfts3.dll');
Sql error:unable to open shared library libfts3.dll

So my question is The FTS3 module is available in SQLite version 3.5.6
and later?

Thanks,

Suppose User typed 'test' in search text box, I would like to search the
'test' string in all the coulmns ... I do not want exact match.. The
columns could contain strings like 'tester'  or 'tested' . I should be
able to get these records as well..

Hope I am clear explaining what I want..

As already stated, the like operator can't use indexes if you use "or",
or start with a wild card.

Is each '%test%' in your example meant to be the same string, or
different strings? If different, then what exactly is each column
storing, and what are you trying to search for? Perhaps you could make
each column more "atomic" by splitting the contents into more columns,
which you could then search using "=" instead of "like" and so use

Yes it is.  By default ('A' LIKE 'a') is true.  But if you enable
case-sensitive like then ('A' LIKE 'a') is false.

The case sensitivity of your LIKE operator must match the 
case sensitivity of your indices in order for the index
to be usable as an optimization.

Richard - i'm not sure i understand "unless the index is case insensitive."
How does that relate to:

sqlite> create table t (a varchar(10) primary key, b, c);
sqlite> pragma CASE_SENSITIVE_LIKE=OFF;
sqlite> explain query plan select * from t where a like 'a%';
0|0|TABLE t
sqlite> pragma CASE_SENSITIVE_LIKE=ON;
sqlite> explain query plan select * from t where a like 'a%';
0|0|TABLE t WITH INDEX sqlite_autoindex_t_1
sqlite>

Dumb question:  Is CASE_SENSITIVE_LIKE a different concept
from "case sensitive index"?

LIKE operators cannot use indices unless the index is
case insensitive.  Use GLOB for case sensitive fields.

LIKE and GLOB operators cannot use indices if the pattern
begins with a wildcard.  

Nothing in SQLite will use an index if you are connecting
terms using OR.

It looks like what you really want to use here is a full-text
index.  Please read about the FTS3 support in SQLite.  That
seems to be what you are trying to accomplish.

Re: [sqlite] SQLite Like Query Optimization

[Ken]

I'm not 100% sure but 

 Try splitting your query out into 6  different selects, I think the OR clause 
is the problem...

select ID from TableA where column2 like '%test%'
 union
select ID from TableA where column4 like '%test%'

As all the data contains special charcters ,I am replacing them with
SearchS =3D Trim(SearchS)=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "'", "''")=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "[", "[[]")=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "%", "[%]")=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "^", "[^]")=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "#", "[#]")=20

SearchS =3D Replace(SearchS, "_", "[_]")=20

My SQL Query looks like this select * from table_name where name LIKE
'%" & SearchS & "%'=20

eg . If I am trying to search for '%%%' my query will be=20

select * from table_name where name LIKE '% [%][%][%]%'=20

Which is returning zero results.=20

so how should I replace special characters for SQlite.=20

Thanks
