I've thought about this a bit more, and concluded this is probably a bug.
If you define your own function, and reference it in a check constraint, and
then try to select from sqlite_master when that function is not currently
defined, the select fails with Error: malformed database schema. I've noticed
this since 3.7.2 and it still happens at 3.7.15.1. It will occur even if there
is a where clause that would avoid selecting the table with the check constaint.
Example (hopefully this will format properly):
/rococo3/peter > sqlite3 -header -column b.sqlite
sqlite3 -header -column b.sqlite
SQLite version 3.7.15.1 2012-12-19 20:39:10 Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter
SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> .read add_check.sql
select load_extension ('libspatialite.so');
load_extension ('libspatialite.so')
-----------------------------------
create table if not exists boom (c1 float check(c1 <> PI()));
select * from sqlite_master;
type name tbl_name rootpage sql
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
----------------------------------------------
table boom boom 2 CREATE TABLE boom (c1 float
check(c1
<> PI()))
.quit
sqlite> .q
.q
/rococo3/peter > sqlite3 -header -column b.sqlite SQLite version 3.7.15.1
2012-12-19 20:39:10 Enter ".help" for instructions Enter SQL statements
terminated with a ";"
sqlite> select * from sqlite_master;
Error: malformed database schema (boom) - no such function: PI
sqlite> .q
/rococo3/peter >
Oddly enough, this doesn't appear to happen with triggers -- you only get an
error message when actually firing the trigger.
