 # sqlite3-ruby Changelog
 
+## 1.6.4 / 2023-08-26
+
+### Dependencies
+
+Vendored sqlite is updated to [v3.43.0](https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_43_0.html).
+
+Upstream release notes:
+
+> SQLite Release 3.43.0 On 2023-08-24
+> * Add support for Contentless-Delete FTS5 Indexes. This is a variety of FTS5 full-text search index that omits storing the content that is being indexed while also allowing records to be deleted.
+> * Enhancements to the date and time functions:
+>   * Added new time shift modifiers of the form ±YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS.
+>   * Added the timediff() SQL function.
+> * Added the octet_length(X) SQL function.
+> * Added the sqlite3_stmt_explain() API.
+> * Query planner enhancements:
+>   * Generalize the LEFT JOIN strength reduction optimization so that it works for RIGHT and FULL JOINs as well. Rename it to OUTER JOIN strength reduction.
+>   * Enhance the theorem prover in the OUTER JOIN strength reduction optimization so that it returns fewer false-negatives.
+> * Enhancements to the decimal extension:
+>   * New function decimal_pow2(N) returns the N-th power of 2 for integer N between -20000 and +20000.
+>   * New function decimal_exp(X) works like decimal(X) except that it returns the result in exponential notation - with a "e+NN" at the end.
+>   * If X is a floating-point value, then the decimal(X) function now does a full expansion of that value into its exact decimal equivalent.
+> * Performance enhancements to JSON processing results in a 2x performance improvement for some kinds of processing on large JSON strings.
+> * New makefile target "verify-source" checks to ensure that there are no unintentional changes in the source tree. (Works for canonical source code only - not for precompiled amalgamation tarballs.)
+> * Added the SQLITE_USE_SEH compile-time option that enables Structured Exception Handling on Windows while working with the memory-mapped shm file that is part of WAL mode processing. This option is enabled by default when building on Windows using Makefile.msc.
+> * The VFS for unix now assumes that the nanosleep() system call is available unless compiled with -DHAVE_NANOSLEEP=0.

+# Installation and Using SQLite3 extensions
+
+This document will help you install the `sqlite3` ruby gem. It also contains instructions on loading database extensions and building against drop-in replacements for sqlite3.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Native Gems (recommended)
+
+In v1.5.0 and later, native (precompiled) gems are available for recent Ruby versions on these platforms:
+
+- `aarch64-linux` (requires: glibc >= 2.29)
+- `arm-linux` (requires: glibc >= 2.29)
+- `arm64-darwin`
+- `x64-mingw32` / `x64-mingw-ucrt`
+- `x86-linux` (requires: glibc >= 2.17)
+- `x86_64-darwin`
+- `x86_64-linux` (requires: glibc >= 2.17)
+
+If you are using one of these Ruby versions on one of these platforms, the native gem is the recommended way to install sqlite3-ruby.
+
+For example, on a linux system running Ruby 3.1:
+
+``` text
+$ ruby -v
+ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [x86_64-linux]
+
+$ time gem install sqlite3
+Fetching sqlite3-1.5.0-x86_64-linux.gem
+Successfully installed sqlite3-1.5.0-x86_64-linux
+1 gem installed
+
+real    0m4.274s
+user    0m0.734s
+sys     0m0.165s
+```
+
+#### Avoiding the precompiled native gem
+
+The maintainers strongly urge you to use a native gem if at all possible. It will be a better experience for you and allow us to focus our efforts on improving functionality rather than diagnosing installation issues.
+
+If you're on a platform that supports a native gem but you want to avoid using it in your project, do one of the following:
+
+- If you're not using Bundler, then run `gem install sqlite3 --platform=ruby`
+- If you are using Bundler
+  - version 2.3.18 or later, you can specify [`gem "sqlite3", force_ruby_platform: true`](https://bundler.io/v2.3/man/gemfile.5.html#FORCE_RUBY_PLATFORM)
+  - version 2.1 or later, then you'll need to run `bundle config set force_ruby_platform true`
+  - version 2.0 or earlier, then you'll need to run `bundle config force_ruby_platform true`
+
+
+### Compiling the source gem
+
+If you are on a platform or version of Ruby that is not covered by the Native Gems, then the vanilla "ruby platform" (non-native) gem will be installed by the `gem install` or `bundle` commands.
+
+
+#### Packaged libsqlite3
+
+By default, as of v1.5.0 of this library, the latest available version of libsqlite3 is packaged with the gem and will be compiled and used automatically. This takes a bit longer than the native gem, but will provide a modern, well-supported version of libsqlite3.
+
+For example, on a linux system running Ruby 2.5:
+
+``` text
+$ ruby -v
+ruby 2.5.9p229 (2021-04-05 revision 67939) [x86_64-linux]
+
+$ time gem install sqlite3
+Building native extensions. This could take a while...
+Successfully installed sqlite3-1.5.0
+1 gem installed
+
+real    0m20.620s
+user    0m23.361s
+sys     0m5.839s
+```
+
+
+#### System libsqlite3
+
+If you would prefer to build the sqlite3-ruby gem against your system libsqlite3, which requires that you install libsqlite3 and its development files yourself, you may do so by using the `--enable-system-libraries` flag at gem install time.
+
+PLEASE NOTE:
+
+- you must avoid installing a precompiled native gem (see [previous section](#avoiding-the-precompiled-native-gem))
+- only versions of libsqlite3 `>= 3.5.0` are supported,
+- and some library features may depend on how your libsqlite3 was compiled.
+
+For example, on a linux system running Ruby 2.5:
+
+``` text
+$ time gem install sqlite3 -- --enable-system-libraries
+Building native extensions with: '--enable-system-libraries'
+This could take a while...
+Successfully installed sqlite3-1.5.0
+1 gem installed
+
+real    0m4.234s
+user    0m3.809s
+sys     0m0.912s
+```
+
+If you're using bundler, you can opt into system libraries like this:
+
+``` sh
+bundle config build.sqlite3 --enable-system-libraries
+```
+
+If you have sqlite3 installed in a non-standard location, you may need to specify the location of the include and lib files by using `--with-sqlite-include` and `--with-sqlite-lib` options (or a `--with-sqlite-dir` option, see [MakeMakefile#dir_config](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-3.1.1/libdoc/mkmf/rdoc/MakeMakefile.html#method-i-dir_config)). If you have pkg-config installed and configured properly, this may not be necessary.
+
+``` sh
+gem install sqlite3 -- \
+  --enable-system-libraries \
+  --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include \
+  --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib
+```
+
+
+#### System libsqlcipher
+
+If you'd like to link against a system-installed libsqlcipher, you may do so by using the `--with-sqlcipher` flag:
+
+``` text
+$ time gem install sqlite3 -- --with-sqlcipher
+Building native extensions with: '--with-sqlcipher'
+This could take a while...
+Successfully installed sqlite3-1.5.0
+1 gem installed
+
+real    0m4.772s
+user    0m3.906s
+sys     0m0.896s
+```
+
+If you have sqlcipher installed in a non-standard location, you may need to specify the location of the include and lib files by using `--with-sqlite-include` and `--with-sqlite-lib` options (or a `--with-sqlite-dir` option, see [MakeMakefile#dir_config](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-3.1.1/libdoc/mkmf/rdoc/MakeMakefile.html#method-i-dir_config)). If you have pkg-config installed and configured properly, this may not be necessary.
+
+
+## Using SQLite3 extensions
+
+### How do I load a sqlite extension?
+
+Some add-ons are available to sqlite as "extensions". The instructions that upstream sqlite provides at https://www.sqlite.org/loadext.html are the canonical source of advice, but here's a brief example showing how you can do this with the `sqlite3` ruby gem.
+
+In this example, I'll be loading the ["spellfix" extension](https://www.sqlite.org/spellfix1.html):
+
+``` text
+# download spellfix.c from somewherehttp://www.sqlite.org/src/finfo?name=ext/misc/spellfix.c
+$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sqlite/sqlite/master/ext/misc/spellfix.c
+spellfix.c                     100%[=================================================>] 100.89K  --.-KB/s    in 0.09s
+
+# follow instructions at https://www.sqlite.org/loadext.html
+# (you will need sqlite3 development packages for this)
+$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared spellfix.c -o spellfix.o
+
+$ ls -lt
+total 192
+-rwxrwxr-x 1 flavorjones flavorjones  87984 2023-05-24 10:44 spellfix.o
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 flavorjones flavorjones 103310 2023-05-24 10:43 spellfix.c
+```
+
+Then, in your application, use that `spellfix.o` file like this:
+
+``` ruby
+require "sqlite3"
+
+db = SQLite3::Database.new(':memory:')
+db.enable_load_extension(true)
+db.load_extension("/path/to/sqlite/spellfix.o")
+db.execute("CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE demo USING spellfix1;")
+```
+
+### How do I use an alternative sqlite3 implementation?
+
+Some packages, like pSQLite Encryption Extension ("SEE"), are intended to be ABI-compatible drop-in replacements for the sqlite3 shared object.
+
+If you've installed your alternative as an autotools-style installation, the directory structure will look like this:
+
+```
+/opt/see
+├── bin
+│   └── sqlite3
+├── include
+│   ├── sqlite3.h
+│   └── sqlite3ext.h
+├── lib
+│   ├── libsqlite3.a
+│   ├── libsqlite3.la
+│   ├── libsqlite3.so -> libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
+│   ├── libsqlite3.so.0 -> libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
+│   ├── libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
+│   └── pkgconfig
+│       └── sqlite3.pc
+└── share
+    └── man
+        └── man1
+            └── sqlite3.1
+```
+
+You can build this gem against that library like this:
+
+```
+gem install sqlite3 --platform=ruby -- \
+  --enable-system-libraries \
+  --with-opt-dir=/opt/see
+```
+
+Explanation:
+
+- use `--platform=ruby` to avoid the precompiled native gems (see the README)
+- the `--` separates arguments passed to "gem install" from arguments passed to the C extension builder
+- use `--enable-system-libraries` to avoid the vendored sqlite3 source
+- use `--with-opt-dir=/path/to/installation` to point the build process at the desired header files and shared object files
+
+Alternatively, if you've simply downloaded an "amalgamation" and so your compiled library and header files are in arbitrary locations, try this more detailed command:
+
+```
+gem install sqlite3 --platform=ruby -- \
+  --enable-system-libraries \
+  --with-opt-include=/path/to/include \
+  --with-opt-lib=/path/to/lib
+```

-      always an array of the column names from the query:

-      <pre>

-
-        db = SQLite3::Database.new( "test.db" )

-
-- "How do I prepare a statement for repeated execution?": >-
-    If the same statement is going to be executed repeatedly, you can speed
-    things up a bit by _preparing_ the statement. You do this via the
-    Database#prepare method. It returns a Statement object, and you can
-    then invoke #execute on that to get the ResultSet:
-
-    
-    <pre>
-      stmt = db.prepare( "select * from person" )
-
-      1000.times do
-        stmt.execute do |result|
-          ...
-        end
-      end
-
-      stmt.close
-
-      # or, use a block
-
-      db.prepare( "select * from person" ) do |stmt|
-        1000.times do
-          stmt.execute do |result|
-            ...
-          end
-        end
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    This is made more useful by the ability to bind variables to placeholders
-    via the Statement#bind_param and Statement#bind_params methods. (See the
-    next FAQ for details.)
-
-- "How do I use placeholders in an SQL statement?": >-
-    Placeholders in an SQL statement take any of the following formats:
-
-
-    * @?@
-
-    * @?_nnn_@
-
-    * @:_word_@
-
-
-    Where _n_ is an integer, and _word_ is an alpha-numeric identifier (or
-    number). When the placeholder is associated with a number, that number
-    identifies the index of the bind variable to replace it with. When it
-    is an identifier, it identifies the name of the corresponding bind
-    variable. (In the instance of the first format--a single question
-    mark--the placeholder is assigned a number one greater than the last
-    index used, or 1 if it is the first.)
-
-
-    For example, here is a query using these placeholder formats:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      select *
-        from table
-       where ( c = ?2 or c = ? )
-         and d = :name
-         and e = :1
-    </pre>
-
-
-    This defines 5 different placeholders: 1, 2, 3, and "name".
-
-
-    You replace these placeholders by _binding_ them to values. This can be
-    accomplished in a variety of ways.
-
-
-    The Database#execute, and Database#execute2 methods all accept additional
-    arguments following the SQL statement. These arguments are assumed to be
-    bind parameters, and they are bound (positionally) to their corresponding
-    placeholders:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.execute( "select * from table where a = ? and b = ?",
-                  "hello",
-                  "world" )
-    </pre>
-
-
-    The above would replace the first question mark with 'hello' and the
-    second with 'world'. If the placeholders have an explicit index given, they
-    will be replaced with the bind parameter at that index (1-based).
-
-
-    If a Hash is given as a bind parameter, then its key/value pairs are bound
-    to the placeholders. This is how you bind by name:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.execute( "select * from table where a = :name and b = :value",
-                  "name" => "bob",
-                  "value" => "priceless" )
-    </pre>
-
-
-    You can also bind explicitly using the Statement object itself. Just pass
-    additional parameters to the Statement#execute statement:
-    
-
-    <pre>
-      db.prepare( "select * from table where a = :name and b = ?" ) do |stmt|
-        stmt.execute "value", "name" => "bob"
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Or do a Database#prepare to get the Statement, and then use either
-    Statement#bind_param or Statement#bind_params:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      stmt = db.prepare( "select * from table where a = :name and b = ?" )
-
-      stmt.bind_param( "name", "bob" )
-      stmt.bind_param( 1, "value" )
-
-      # or
-
-      stmt.bind_params( "value", "name" => "bob" )
-    </pre>
-
-- "How do I discover metadata about a query?": >-
-  
-    If you ever want to know the names or types of the columns in a result
-    set, you can do it in several ways.
-
-
-    The first way is to ask the row object itself. Each row will have a
-    property "fields" that returns an array of the column names. The row
-    will also have a property "types" that returns an array of the column
-    types:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      rows = db.execute( "select * from table" )
-      p rows[0].fields
-      p rows[0].types
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Obviously, this approach requires you to execute a statement that actually
-    returns data. If you don't know if the statement will return any rows, but
-    you still need the metadata, you can use Database#query and ask the
-    ResultSet object itself:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.query( "select * from table" ) do |result|
-        p result.columns
-        p result.types
-        ...
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Lastly, you can use Database#prepare and ask the Statement object what
-    the metadata are:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      stmt = db.prepare( "select * from table" )
-      p stmt.columns
-      p stmt.types
-    </pre>
-
-- "I'd like the rows to be indexible by column name.": >-
-    By default, each row from a query is returned as an Array of values. This
-    means that you can only obtain values by their index. Sometimes, however,
-    you would like to obtain values by their column name.
-
-
-    The first way to do this is to set the Database property "results_as_hash"
-    to true. If you do this, then all rows will be returned as Hash objects,
-    with the column names as the keys. (In this case, the "fields" property
-    is unavailable on the row, although the "types" property remains.)
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.results_as_hash = true
-      db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
-        p row['column1']
-        p row['column2']
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    The other way is to use Ara Howard's
-    "ArrayFields":http://rubyforge.org/projects/arrayfields
-    module. Just require "arrayfields", and all of your rows will be indexable
-    by column name, even though they are still arrays!
-
-
-    <pre>
-      require 'arrayfields'
-
-      ...
-      db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
-        p row[0] == row['column1']
-        p row[1] == row['column2']
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-- "I'd like the values from a query to be the correct types, instead of String.": >-
-    You can turn on "type translation" by setting Database#type_translation to
-    true:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.type_translation = true
-      db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
-        p row
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    By doing this, each return value for each row will be translated to its
-    correct type, based on its declared column type.
-
-
-    You can even declare your own translation routines, if (for example) you are
-    using an SQL type that is not handled by default:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      # assume "objects" table has the following schema:
-      #   create table objects (
-      #     name varchar2(20),
-      #     thing object
-      #   )
-
-      db.type_translation = true
-      db.translator.add_translator( "object" ) do |type, value|
-        db.decode( value )
-      end
-
-      h = { :one=>:two, "three"=>"four", 5=>6 }
-      dump = db.encode( h )
-
-      db.execute( "insert into objects values ( ?, ? )", "bob", dump )
-
-      obj = db.get_first_value( "select thing from objects where name='bob'" )
-      p obj == h
-    </pre>
-
-- "How do I insert binary data into the database?": >-
-    Use blobs. Blobs are new features of SQLite3. You have to use bind
-    variables to make it work:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.execute( "insert into foo ( ?, ? )",
-        SQLite3::Blob.new( "\0\1\2\3\4\5" ),
-        SQLite3::Blob.new( "a\0b\0c\0d ) )
-    </pre>
-
-
-    The blob values must be indicated explicitly by binding each parameter to
-    a value of type SQLite3::Blob.
-
-- "How do I do a DDL (insert, update, delete) statement?": >-
-    You can actually do inserts, updates, and deletes in exactly the same way
-    as selects, but in general the Database#execute method will be most
-    convenient:
-
-    
-    <pre>
-      db.execute( "insert into table values ( ?, ? )", *bind_vars )
-    </pre>
-
-- "How do I execute multiple statements in a single string?": >-
-    The standard query methods (Database#execute, Database#execute2,
-    Database#query, and Statement#execute) will only execute the first
-    statement in the string that is given to them. Thus, if you have a
-    string with multiple SQL statements, each separated by a string,
-    you can't use those methods to execute them all at once.
-
-
-    Instead, use Database#execute_batch:
-
-
-    <pre>
-      sql = <<SQL
-        create table the_table (
-          a varchar2(30),
-          b varchar2(30)
-        );
-
-        insert into the_table values ( 'one', 'two' );
-        insert into the_table values ( 'three', 'four' );
-        insert into the_table values ( 'five', 'six' );
-      SQL
-
-      db.execute_batch( sql )
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Unlike the other query methods, Database#execute_batch accepts no
-    block. It will also only ever return +nil+. Thus, it is really only
-    suitable for batch processing of DDL statements.
-
-- "How do I begin/end a transaction?":
-    Use Database#transaction to start a transaction. If you give it a block,
-    the block will be automatically committed at the end of the block,
-    unless an exception was raised, in which case the transaction will be
-    rolled back. (Never explicitly call Database#commit or Database#rollback
-    inside of a transaction block--you'll get errors when the block
-    terminates!)
-
-
-    <pre>
-      database.transaction do |db|
-        db.execute( "insert into table values ( 'a', 'b', 'c' )" )
-        ...
-      end
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Alternatively, if you don't give a block to Database#transaction, the
-    transaction remains open until you explicitly call Database#commit or
-    Database#rollback.
-
-
-    <pre>
-      db.transaction
-      db.execute( "insert into table values ( 'a', 'b', 'c' )" )
-      db.commit
-    </pre>
-
-
-    Note that SQLite does not allow nested transactions, so you'll get errors
-    if you try to open a new transaction while one is already active. Use
-    Database#transaction_active? to determine whether a transaction is
-    active or not.
