Hello, One of the expected changes in 3..9.0 is: A view may now reference undefined tables and functions when initially created. Missing tables and functions are reported when the VIEW is used in a query. I could not resist trying a recursive view like in a CTE:
SQLite version 3.8.12 2015-10-07 13:24:27 create view v as select 1 as c union all select c+1 from v where c<10; select c from v; Error: view v is circularly defined So this is clearly not intended. One minor shortcoming however. If combined with the other new feature: The CREATE VIEW statement now accepts an optional list of column names following the view name. the clarifying error message no longer appears and instead comes a kind of bus error. I suppose this should be fixed. I am still puzzled by this error message (view %s is circularly defined) itself as it already exists in earlier sqlite versions. But I can not make it appear there. Above case raises "no such table: main.v". Thanks, Edzard
