Comments in views could result in broken database dumps. Consider broken-backup.sql (that sets up a toy db) and broken-backup.sh (that illustrates the bug): === broken-backup.sql === create table a (int); create view b as select * from a -- pretty useless view ; create view c as select * from b; ========================= === broken-backup.sh === #!/bin/bash sqlite3 tmp.db < broken-backup.sql sqlite3 tmp.db ".dump" > tmp.dump rm tmp.db sqlite3 tmp.db < tmp.dump ======================== What goes wrong: tmp.db is not being recreated from backup. Instead the following happens: Error: near line 4: near "CREATE": syntax error If you take a look into tmp.dump, you could see that comment in the definition of "b" swallowed the trailing semicolon: PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE a (int); CREATE VIEW b as select * from a -- pretty useless view; CREATE VIEW c as select * from b; COMMIT; As far as I was able to tell, this is not a known bug. -- Dmitry Astapov _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
