SQLite evaluates the WHERE clause from left to right, which means it needs to evaluate xyz and thereby call json_extract first, even before it can determine that no rows match the second condition.
Maybe the transformation algorithm can be changed to check the "subselect constraints" first? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] Im Auftrag von Dan Kennedy Gesendet: Freitag, 23.

Interesting one. The problem is that the query is being flattened by the SQLite optimizer. A simpler example is: CREATE TABLE t1(a, b); INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(4, 'nojson'); SELECT json_extract(b, '$.Date') AS xyz FROM (SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a==22) WHERE xyz = ?; In the above, the SELECT statement is being transformed to the following before being executed: SELECT json_extract(b, '$.Date') AS xyz FROM t1 WHERE xyz=? AND a=22; And so the json_extract() function is executed despite the fact that the only row in the table does not match (a==22). I'm not sure how to work around this. You could use a CASE statement I suppose. i.e. things like: SELECT CASE json_valid(b) THEN json_extract(b, '$.Date') ELSE NULL END AS xyz FROM (SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a==22) WHERE xyz = ?; Or avoid adding invalid json text to the table in the first place if it's possible.
