W3C's validator said this:
The sequence  can be interpreted in at least two different  
ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HMTL 4.01 Strict,  
the '/' terminates the tag '). However, since  
many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an  
HMTL 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure  
HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.

This is a bit off-topic, sorry...

What exactly is that firefox plugin checking? As far as I know,
this kind of thing:

   

is not valid HTML. It is valid XHTML of course. All browsers
just ignore the "/" character, but I can't think of any document
where this is defined. Does anybody know?

The validator also complained about this:

   
   
 
   

Ok, fine, you can't nest  inside of . But the spec defines
well what happens in this case. The first  tag is closed
automatically by the . The resulting empty paragraph 
is discarded (*special* html rule for  - empty paragraphs
have no effect on document layout). The final  is discarded
because it doesn't match any opening tag.

So in this case the incorrect HTML is equivalent to the HTML
suggested by the validator. Fair enough I guess, both versions
are unambiguous and the suggested version is better.

I had been saying in release announcements that no bugs have

The webserver on www.sqlite.org specifically excludes clients
claiming to be "Windows 98".  We were getting a lot of abuse
coming out of China - people would download thousands of copies
of tarballs and use up gigabytes of bandwidth.  Since excluding
Windows98 clients, we have not had any of the abuse problems.

[sqlite] error building amalgamation from 3.5.6 source tree

2008-02-06 Thread Brad House
I have a few patches that I apply to SQLite and need to
rebuild the amalgamation, but I get an error saying
it can't find  tsrc/fts3.h
I verified on an un-patched 3.5.6 release that the same
error occurs, both on Linux and MacOSX 10.5.1.  Am I missing
a step somewhere?  If I remove all the fts3 references
from mksqlite3c.tcl, it appears to build, but the generated
sqlite3.c is missing the fts3 files, though it appears to
compile and work without them...

Re: [sqlite] when to analyze?

2008-02-06 Thread RB Smissaert
Thanks for that explanation.
In my app tables are dropped and created and inserted with data
continuously, so the recommended use won't quite apply, but I understand
better now.

I noticed sqlite_stat1 doesn't get updated if a table is dropped or renamed
with ALTER TABLE, so I take it I will have to take care of this myself,
particularly with a table rename.

Briefly:  Your guess is correct

For additional background into why ANALYZE exists and what it
accomplishes for you, please see

http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=QueryPlans

SQLite rarely needs to do ANALYZE at all.  You can usually get
it to pick efficient query plans without having to ANALYZE.

The recommended use of ANALYZE, if you use it at all, is to
run it once during development on a dataset that is characteristic
of the kinds of data your application will store.  Retain the
results of this ANALYZE as they are found in the sqlite_stat1
table.  Then, when you deploy your application and create a new 
database, run ANALYZE once as soon as the schema is loaded but
before any data is added.  Such an ANALYZE will take almost no
time because your database is empty.  Then delete all of
the information from the newly created sqlite_stat1 table and
replace it with the data you saved from the ANALYZE you ran
during development on your sample dataset.

The result of this will be that SQLite will plan queries with
an eye toward optimizing databases that are typical for your
application.

What do you mean "no longer found"?  Do you mean that that
you cannot see anything at all, or that the new design is such
that it is not displayed correctly?

you do.

[sqlite] SQLite Web Site

2008-02-06 Thread L. S.
I've been ignoring this issue for a while; the world won't end over this but...
There is some issue with the newly-designed SQLite web site that
prevents access from my Palm Treo. It used to be accessible, with the
old design.
--
Often I surf, email, research, read, and download things using
wireless access on my Treo web browser (and even store a copy of the
SQLite source on my phone) because it's highly portable, has all day
battery life, and I can Bluetooth-transfer stored files to my laptop.

The site is no longer found on this platform. Why is this?

[sqlite] JOIN creating counter-intuitive results

2008-02-06 Thread P Kishor
Hello,

I am having trouble grasping the following issue intuitively --

sqlite> select * from node limit 3;
node_id node_type   node_name  node_confidence
--  --  -  ---
1   ACT Mike Garrison  0.99932

sqlite> select e.edge_id, n1.node_id AS from_node_id

edge_id from_node_id
--

3   7230
sqlite> select count(*) from edge e join node n1 on e.from_node = n1.node_name;
count(*)
--
21632
sqlite>

My intuition says that the row count from the last select should not
be more than 19,252, the count of the left table (edge) in the join,
and, in fact, can be less as not all e.from_node may find a match in
n1.node_name. Instead, I am getting 21,632. In fact, when I create
another join using e.to_node, I get even more records as below, and I
am just not able to grasp why this is happening.

sqlite> select count(*) from edge e join node n1
   ...> on e.from_node = n1.node_name join
   ...> node n2 on e.to_node = n2.node_name;
count(*)

Hello Richard,

I think http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ToDo is due for an update.

Subject: [sqlite] SQLite version 3.5.6

SQLite version 3.5.6 is now available on the website.

http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

There is very little change from version 3.5.5.  The reason
for this release is that there was a regression in the virtual
table mechanism that prevented virtual tables from being used
in LEFT OUTER JOINs.  And there were some updates to the OS/2
driver.  Also, I bungled the release of version 3.5.5 such that
some users downloaded copies of 3.5.4 that were labeled 3.5.5.

We have still not encountered any bugs in new register-based
virtual machine.  You might recall that this was a huge change
moving from version 3.5.4 to 3.5.5 and there was some concern
that the change my destablize the core.  But such concern is
now past.  Version 3.5.6 is recommended for all users and is
consider stable and ready for production release.

As always, please report any problems to this mailing list,
or directly to me.

[sqlite] when to analyze?

2008-02-06 Thread RB Smissaert
Suppose we have a table with some 10 million rows and this table was
analysed, so sqlite_stat1 has the stats of this table then is it worth it to
analyze again after adding say 1000 more rows? The indexing is still the
same, so no indexes are dropped or created. Also the data of the added rows
won't be dramatically different from the existing rows.
My guess it is not worth the time it will take and I could fine out by
experimenting, but maybe somebody has some thoughts about this and could
tell me.

You can leave out the type for each column when declaring the table
schema and no affinity conversions will happen.

Alternatively, if you require that a type be declared then you can make
up your own scheme that doesn't include any of the strings that SQLite
picks up, somewhat similar to how C++ compilers do it:

[sqlite] SQLite and signal handlers

2008-02-06 Thread Felix Radensky

Hi,

What is a recommended way of handling signals in daemon 
processes using sqlite database ?  Is calling sqlite3_interrupt()
in SIGTERM handler considered good enough ?

Thanks.

Felix.
