http://www.metatranz.com/stepsqlite New Features in version 3.4a ============================ 1. PL/SQL Exception Handling: This was the most popular feature request from a lot of our customers. We are delighted to say that All exception handling constructs of PL/SQL are now available in StepSqlite. Standard exceptions are pre-defined for you: for ex, NO_DATA_FOUND, INVALID_CURSOR etc. Error handling functions are available: SQLCODE, SQLERRM and RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR. Also See: http://www.metatranz.com/stepsqlite/FAQ.html#q3 2. Function Overloading based on Parameter Type: Write functions with same name which differ by either number or type of parameters. For ex, to_char(i integer, f char) and to_char(d date, f char). The functions can be accessed freely from SQL as well as procedural constructs in your program. 3. Error Reporting: We have greatly improved the error messages generated for compile errors and you should get a more accurate line/column info now. 4. Built-in Packages: Several new functions have been added for effortless migration from Oracle to SQLite: 1. NVL 2. DECODE 3. ROWNUM = 1 , ROWNUM < expr , ROWNUM <= expr 4. TO_CHAR for date 5. TO_CHAR for numeric type 6. Use of 'IS NULL' in procedural constructs. It follows the Oracle semantics of empty-string = null. IF part_name is null THEN ... END IF; 7. Use of LIKE operator in procedural constructs. IF part_name like 'T!%' ESCAPE '!' THEN ... END IF; 8. Use of BETWEEN operator in procedural constructs. IF part_no between 10 and 20 THEN ...
