[sqlite] [ANN] SQLiteAdmin Released

[Peter Haworth]

I'm pleased to announce the general availability of SQLiteAdmin, an SQLite
database administration tool for Mac and Windows.

A 30-day demo of the application is available for download
here. To
mark the launch of SQLiteAdmin, I am making it available for $9.99 to any
members of this list through May 16th.  To take advantage of this offer,
please send email to p...@lcsql.com  and you will
receive the purchase link by reply.  Please make sure your email doesn't
block messages from that address.

SQLiteAdmin provides complete GUI access to all SQLite Data Definition
Language functions.  Convenience features include the ability to create
multiple columns sharing the same properties in a table with a single mouse
click, or to automatically create an index on the child column of a foreign
key relationship.

Extended Data Definition Functions provide the ability to add, delete, and
modify any SQLite object and its properties.  You can add, rename, and
delete columns from existing tables and the changes will be reflected in
all other schema objects such as indexes, triggers, and views.  You can
also add, modify or remove any table or column constraint.  Extensive
checking is done before any of these changes are made and all changes are
done within the scope of a transaction which is rolled back if any errors
occur.  For complete security, you can request that SQLiteAdmin backs up
your database before any Extended Data Definition Functions are executed

A table browser tool is provided for data inquiry and maintenance purposes.
 Powerful filtering capabilities are available including the ability to
choose which columns to display.  You can define "virtual columns"  to hold
the results of any SQLite expression.  Filter settings can be saved for
future recall and execution.  You can insert, duplicate, delete, and update
(single or multiple) rows using SQLiteAdmin's fill-in-the-blanks approach.

All or selected table rows can be exported to files with columns delimited
by comma, tab, or any other character you choose, or as SQLite INSERT
statements.  External files in delimited format can be processed to insert
data into a table and SQLiteAdmin handles embedded delimiter and carriage
return characters in the column data without requiring them to be escaped.
 You can also process files containing INSERT or any other valid SQLite
statements.

Other tools include support for in-memory databases (including the ability
to save them to disk), access and updating of all PRAGMA values from a
list, access to tune up commands such as VACUUM, ANALYZE, and REINDEX, and
an audit function that will suggest changes to your schema that may provide
improved performance.  In addition, you can manually enter and execute
SQLite commands, including access to the sqlite3 "dot" commands, and single
commands or sequences of commands can be saved for later recall and
execution.

I welcome any feedback, positive or negative, which might help me improve
the product.

Re: [sqlite] is SQLite the right tool to analyze a 44GB file

[Udi Karni]

Hi Michael,

May I make a request on behalf of the C++ challenged crowd?

Is it possible to fuse your contribution with the existing capabilities of
the ".import" command so that it can be activated via syntax similar to -
"RECORDS DELIMITED BY... FIELDS TERMINATED BY... OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY..."

It would make ".import" so much more powerful.

Thanks !

Re: [sqlite] Details on New Features

Regarding:   What precisely are the
"improvements" in handling of CSV inputs?


Gabor, I don't know about "precisely" -- I'll let others on the list tell
me where I'm off, but here's my take:


A lot of strange things call themselves csv, but the change attempts to
make the sqlite3 utility's CSV inputs perform a bit more closely to RFC4180.
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#Toward_standardization

In particular, during CSV mode import:
  -- Allow any field to be surrounded by double quote characters without
those characters being considered part of the field data.
  -- Allow fields to contain embedded commas (or other separators) when the
field is surrounded by double quote characters.
  -- Allow fields to span multiple lines if they are surrounded by double
quote characters.
  -- Allow the double quote character to be escaped by having two adjacent
double quote characters. (But note that a field consisting solely of two
double quote characters still represents an empty string field.)

  -- On output in CSV mode, surround text fields with double quotes when
needed.


See check-in [93aa17d866]   http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/93aa17d866

(By the way, I believe the sqlite3 command line utility (CLI) was intended
to be more of a debug tool than a production component -- but it surely is
useful!)

For an example of CSV import, if I have file MyStuff.csv whose data is
shown below between the barred lines below (words in square brackets [] are
just my comments and were not present in the import file):
==
1,cat
2,"rat"[quotes are optional unless separator(s)
embedded]
3 ,"grey fox"  [extra whitespace will be handled differently
when affinity is numeric]
4, spacedog[There's a space before and after spacedog --
trust me]
5,o'possum
6,"big, bad, wolf"
7,"two-lined   [Fields can span lines]
zebra"
8, [Second field empty. (Maybe I forgot to type
"Missing lynx")]
9,imperial ("laughing") loon
==
 Now I create a test database.

C:\util>sqlite3 test.db

SQLite version 3.7.11 2012-03-20 11:35:50
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"

It's often better to link the command line tool statically, so you are
completely independent of the system's sqlite3 version.

The shell commands below work for me on 
SunOS 5.11 snv_130 i86pc i386 i86pc (AKA Solaris eXpress Community
Edition [1], but I'm sure there are simpler ways:

set -xv

cd ${HOME}/src/sqlite3 \
&& fossil pull \
&& fossil update trunk \
&& cd

cd ${HOME}/bld/sqlite3 \
&& rm -rf ${HOME}/bld/sqlite3/* \
&& ../../src/sqlite3/configure \
--prefix=${HOME}/usr \
--enable-load-extension \
--enable-threadsafe \
--disable-tcl \
--enable-readline \
--with-readline-lib="-L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib -lreadline -ltermcap" \
--with-readline-inc=-I/usr/include/readline \
&& make sqlite3.c \
&& cp ../../src/sqlite3/src/shell.c ./ \
&& gcc -Os \
-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1 \
-DSQLITE_ENABLE_RTREE=1 \
-DSQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2 \

-DHAVE_READLINE=1 \
-I./ -I/usr/include/readline \

&& strip ${HOME}/usr/bin/sqlite3 \
&& mv -f sqlite3 ${HOME}/usr/bin/sqlite$( gawk \
'/#define SQLITE_(VERSION_NUMBER|SOURCE_ID) /{
buf=buf $3
}
END{
sub(/"/,"_",buf)
print buf
}
' sqlite3.h ) \
&& cd
set +xv

Notes:
1)  make sqlite3.c
builds the amalgamation source from a complete sqlite3 source tree.

2) The line with the gawk command gives the binary a version dependent
name, which makes it easy to feed SQL scripts to different versions of
sqlite3, and compare the results.

3) fossil is available from http://www.fossil-scm.org/download.html 


The statically linked sqlite3 executable is about 587 kByte, 521 kByte
if stripped, and contains objects from shell.c and sqlite3.c (=the
amalgamation). The system libraries are dynamically linked.

[1] Yeah, I really should move to OpenIndiana 151a3 by now, I'm

The best concurrency between separate processes (and thus, necessarily, 
separate connections) you can achieve with SQLite is by enabling WAL mode. 
Which, as I said, gives you multiple readers and a single writer at the same 
time. Under no circumstances would SQLite allow two simultaneous writing 
transactions.

If you don't have multiple threads sharing a single connection (and it sounds 
like you don't), then threading mode is irrelevant.

Re: [sqlite] Locking/Concurrency

[KUSHAL SHAH]

Sorry, when I said mutex mode, I meant the Runtime selection of threading mode: 
http://sqlite.org/threadsafe.html
 
At this point, I am sorry, I am confused with threading mode, journal mode and 
locking modes.
 
My scenario: Multiple processes want to access the database. How do I configure 
so that I can get as much concurrency w.r.t read and write. Meaning, have 
multiple readers and writers.
 
I think we are saying we can only have multiple readers and 1 writer at any 
point in time. Any connection that tries to write when there is already a write 
happening, will get SQLite_Busy.
 
That is fine, I can handle it in my application. However, I just want to 
confirm, how to achieve the multi-read and 1 write scenario. My understanding:
Keep threading mode to Serialized. This is the default. So I don't have to do 
anything.
Keep the locking mode to Normal. Again, this is the default. So I don't have to 
do anything.
Finally, the journal mode to WAL.
 
Is this correct?
 
Also, in WAL mode, the simple answer for why there cant be multiple writes is 
because you cannot have multiple pages being written at the same time in the 
same file. It also complicates transaction behavior, crash recovery, 
etc. Correct?
 
Thanks,
Kushal.

I'm not sure what you mean by "mutex mode" - I'm not familiar with this term.

If you have multiple connections, each used by a single thread (whether in the 
same or different EXEs, doesn't matter), then:

- in "traditional" roll-back journal mode, at any point in time the database 
may be accessed by multiple readers, *or* by a single writer
- in WAL mode, the database may be accessed by multiple readers *and* a single 
writer.

I don't understand the term "thread connection" either.

What scenario do you have in mind, exactly? How many threads are using how many 
connections? Which of these threads attempt to read, and which attempt to write?

> Finally, how do I enable WAL mode

The documentation at http://sqlite.org/wal.html explains this in detail.

> Specifically, can I do that in System.Data.SqLite client?

I'm unfamiliar with this client. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will 
chime in soon.

Yes.

Well, as pointed out by Yuriy and Pavel, it's a bug due to SQLite trying to 
take a shortcut by assuming unique keys are already properly sorted, but not 
accounting for the presence of nulls in such index:

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Perhaps 
something like this:

update dzhhq set mnote= 'sell' || mnote

The NULLS FIRST or NULLS LAST is about if the NULLs should be before, or
after the 'other' data.

It does not say anything about how to sort the fields which all have the
'value' NULL

I'm not sure about a requirement for consistency.  NULL isn't a value.  It 
means something like 'value unknown'.  Anything attempting to sort columns with 
nulls in can sort any of the nulls into any position.

While the standard itself might well have nothing helpful to say about how a 
null value should be sorted by default ( NULLS FIRST or NULLS LAST), a given 
implementation (e.g. SQLite) will have an opinion about it.  That opinion 
should be consistent. And it appears it's not. Which would qualify as an 
anomaly.

Re: [sqlite] ordering doesn't work the way I expected

[Pavel Ivanov]

This is already fixed in the SQLite's trunk code (see
http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/2a5629202f) and thus will be fixed in
next SQLite release, i.e. 3.7.12.

quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_by
The SQL standard's core functionality does not explicitly define a
default sort order for Nulls.


So, if it is not defined how to sort column b,
how can anyone correctly sort the column a?

In my application, I've encountered a problem with ordering where the result

Re: [sqlite] is SQLite the right tool to analyze a 44GB file

[Jean-Christophe Deschamps]

Not sure I buy your test cases.


I don't either, but for diverging reasons.

Fields containg double quotes must be in double quotes.  So only one 
of your examples is valid


first,""second"",third

I'll have to fix that one.


No, it's invalid.  Apply to " the same rules that apply to ' for 
literals in SQL statements: if user data consists of 'ABC' (including 
the quotes), then the fragment SQL is

WHERE column = '''ABC''' (i.e. you still need the outer quotes).

So the above should be:
first,"""second""",third

BUT, fields that don't start with a " delimiter shouldn't be considered 
delimited.


first,second"",third

has 3 data fields for me:
first
second""
third

Also fields starting with a " delimiter should comply with the rules.

first,""second,third
^-- missing comma separator

I could add the CR/LF...but I've never seen that used in a CSV 
format.  Then again, may as well use the standard.  That's the nice 
thing about standards...there are so many to choose from :-)


I've had to process many CSVs with either 0x00, CR, LF or CRLF 
embedded. Some TSV (Tab separated values), some with ; as separators, 
even some with multiline comments...

Sure.  The rest aren't interpretation tests.  They're crash tests: your app 
shouldn't crash, hang, or spew on them.  It doesn't have to turn them into 
something they're not.

Yes, in that I have multi-line address fields and multi-paragraph notes fields. 
 But we don't store that data in CSV files, so it wouldn't matter that a CSV 
import tool couldn't handle it.  Actually that system uses MySQL not SQLite.  
Might be interesting to see if the SQLite shell tool failed to handle it.

We had a lot of discussion about allowing CR (which is the character we use) 
but decided that multi-paragraph notes fields was an idea whose time had come.

I modified my csvimport to allow for quoted fields.  Still automaticallhy

If quoted fields also contain internal quotes they must be escaped by doubling 
them.

[sqlite] Implement autocomplete with fts4aux

[Jos Groot Lipman]

With fts4aux, the term table would be a perfect candidate to implement an
autocomplete function in our application.
 
However a query 
  SELECT term FROM ft_terms WHERE term LIKE 'descr%'
is quite slow as no 'index' is used (indexes are not possible on virtual
tables).
 
With checkin  
http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/386701de Dan added an optimization for
queries with '=', '<' and '>' in fts4aux so I rewrote my query to
  SELECT term FROM ft_terms WHERE term BETWEEN 'descr' AND 'descr' ||
CAST(x'FF' AS CHAR)
and indeed: blazingly fast.
 
Is there any risk with this (rather ugly) workaround?
 
Is there any chance an optimization gets added for the simple LIKE 'abcd%'
filter? I think it will be a very common usage case for the fts4aux virtual
table

As far as I can tell this feature is undocumented which means I am not
suppose to use it.
Is this:
- An oversight
- For good reason as it is unstable
- or: because the syntax might change in the near future?
 
Also: I need to include the dummy XX as the delimeters are searched in
argv[1] in stead of argv[0]. I cannot find what the argv[0] is supposed to
do here. Any reason?

Re: [sqlite] Multi-lingual support?

[Dale E. Edmons]

Richard,

bash scripts, command-line shell and vim.

I discovered that I was missing the -H option on vim.  More than likely 
it is a vim problem, not sqlite3.  vim seems to work flawlessly with one 
particular text, but some aren't standardized.  My bad.  Other Hebrew 
texts were/are working fine.  Some are in standard string order, some 
are reversed to account for software that doesn't display R->L languages 
correctly.


I think I'll write a utility to discover the direction of any particular 
text.  Usually I sort it out, but this one caught me unaware.


I've been using sqlite3 for about three years on this project and I 
really appreciate the work that has been done on sqlite3--thanks all!  
(I was a (volunteer) Linux developer until I lost my job in '09, but I'm 
trying to get back to more activity.)


Thanks.
D.E.

Hi,

I've built an extensive database that has three copies of the Jewish
Tanach in it.  When trying to get sqlite3 to handle Hebrew (utf8 for
starters) it seems to be trying to manipulate the text and it ends up
backwards.  My editors and nearly all command-line utilities don't corrupt
the data, but sqlite3 does, and I can't do any search queries.




What program are you using to access your SQLite database?  Are you using
the command-line shell that comes with SQLite, a program you wrote
yourself, or some third-party program?


  

Since I've built my entire database in sqlite3, I'd much rather keep it.
 Is there anybody that is knowledgable about Hebrew support?  I'm just
learning Hebrew myself, to I'm no guru.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

D.E.
