In the final weeks of editing before we went to print, the SQLite development team and I were in a bit of a race to see who was going to "go gold" first: the book or SQLite 3.7. The dev team won by about a week. Either way, we were unable to cover the new 3.7 features in the book. The book covers everything up-to-and-including 3.6.23.1 (the last 3.6 release), but the APIs and features of 3.7 became stable too late to be included. Everyone recognized that WAL was a very important feature, however, so I did write a supplementary article: http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/2035-whats-new-in-sqlite-37/ Looking back, it's hard to believe that 3.7 is only about three months old. -j -- Jay A.

I bought this book on opening day and now can highly recommend it. It is a very useful supplement to the online docs. The info is pretty up-to-date, but SQLite keeps advancing so the most recent enhancements perforce are missing. For example, wal mode is not covered, but there is a good description of foreign keys. In the general SQL sections, I found "The SELECT Pipeline" among the most illuminating, giving good explanations of what happens in the processing of each clause. The book is one of my better recent purchases. Gerry On 11/29/10, Jay A.
