Requirements consist of excerpts from the documentation. A requirement is usually a one-sentence excerpt but might be a sentence fragment, multiple sentences, a table, or a GIF image of a bubble syntax diagram.
Requirements are written in conversational English and without the modal auxiliary verb "shall". This grows out of the fact that requirements are taken from the documentation. The intended audience for the documentation is application programmers. "Shall" language is appropriate when the audience consist of contract specialists, QA auditors, and lawyers, but it interferes with comprehension when the audience is application programmers. Hence, in order to best serve the intended audience, the "shall" language is omitted.
Requirements are sufficiently detailed and precise to permit a 100% compatible clean-room reimplementation of SQLite.
The word "requirement" in common English usage implies an ordering: that the requirement comes before the implementation. But there is no such ordering with SQLite requirements. What are called "requirements" in SQLite are better described as "testable statements of truth about the behavior of the system".
Every testable statement of truth about SQLite in the documentation becomes a requirement.
Requirement numbers are the MD5 hash of the requirement itself.
Requirements are inherently immutable, since any change to the requirement results in a completely different requirement number.
For text requirements, the text is normalized prior to computing the MD5 hash:
For GIF syntax diagram requirements, the MD5 hash is computed over the entire content of the GIF image file.
The MD5 hash is expressed in human-readable form as follows:
R-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NWhere each N is a 5-digit number between 00000 and 65536 that represents 16 bits of the 128-bit MD5 hash.
Requirements may be referenced by any unique prefix of their complete requirement number.
Text requirements are automatically extracted from the documentation by scripts that run as part of the documentation build process.
After requirements have been extracted from the documentation, the requirement markers "^", "^(", and ")^" are removed from the documentation text. This is done automatically by the documentation build scripts.
To avoid collisions with these requirements delimiters, "^" characters that are part of the text of a requirement or that are otherwise found in the documentation, should be coded as "^".
<img alt="syntax diagram NAME" src="FILE">Where NAME is the name of the syntax diagram and FILE is the name of the GIF file containing the syntax diagram.
Syntax diagram requirements are automatically extracted from the documentation by scripts that run as part of the documentation build process.
The GIF file is the requirement, not the HTML markup that references the GIF file nor the diagram name.
The documentation that contains the requirement text is generated by scripts that use as input files from both files in the documentation fossil repository and comments in the source code.
The key comes first and is separated from the value by a single "=" character. (source uri.html)

Returning to the example in section 1, each time an application deletes a row from the artist table (the parent table), it performs the equivalent of the following SELECT statement to search for referencing rows in the track table (the child table). SELECT rowid FROM track WHERE trackartist = ? where ? in the above is replaced with the value of the artistid column of the record being deleted from the artist table (recall that the trackartist column is the child key and the artistid column is the parent key).

Otherwise, they return the name of the attached database, table, or column that query result column was extracted from. (source c3ref/column_database_name.html)
If the table to which the trigger is attached is not in the temp database, then DELETE statements within the trigger body must operate on tables within the same database as it. (source lang_delete.html, checked-by: tcl/e_delete.test)
However, if the SELECT is a compound SELECT, then ORDER BY expressions that are not aliases to output columns must be exactly the same as an expression used as an output column. (source lang_select.html, checked-by: tcl/e_select.test)

Because the source database is not locked between calls to sqlite3_backup_step(), the source database may be modified mid-way through the backup process. (source c3ref/backup_finish.html)
The ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses on UPDATE and DELETE statements are not supported. ORDER BY and LIMIT are not normally supported for UPDATE or DELETE in any context but can be enabled for top-level statements using the SQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT compile-time option.

The WAL is always located in the same directory as the database file and has the same name as the database file but with the string "-wal" appended. (source fileformat2.html)
The table has the same number of columns as the rows returned by the SELECT statement. The name of each column is the same as the name of the corresponding column in the result set of the SELECT statement. (source lang_createtable.html, checked-by: tcl/e_createtable.test)
SQLite may attempt to convert values between the storage classes INTEGER, REAL, and/or TEXT before performing a comparison. (source datatype3.html)
When auto_vacuum is enabled for a database free pages may be reclaimed after deleting data, causing the file to shrink, without rebuilding the entire database using VACUUM. (source lang_vacuum.html, checked-by: tcl/e_vacuum.test)

For example, adding an "ON UPDATE CASCADE" clause to the foreign key as shown below enhances the example schema from section 1 to allow the user to update the artistid (the parent key of the foreign key constraint) column without breaking referential integrity: -- Database schema CREATE TABLE artist( artistid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, artistname TEXT ); CREATE TABLE track( trackid INTEGER, trackname TEXT, trackartist INTEGER REFERENCES artist(artistid) ON UPDATE CASCADE ); sqlite> SELECT * FROM artist; artistid artistname -------- ----------------- 1 Dean Martin 2 Frank Sinatra sqlite> SELECT * FROM track; trackid trackname trackartist ------- ----------------- ----------- 11 That's Amore 1 12 Christmas Blues 1 13 My Way 2 sqlite> -- Update the artistid column of the artist record for "Dean Martin". sqlite> -- Normally, this would raise a constraint, as it would orphan the two sqlite> -- dependent records in the track table. However, the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause sqlite> -- attached to the foreign key definition causes the update to "cascade" sqlite> -- to the child table, preventing the foreign key constraint violation. sqlite> UPDATE artist SET artistid = 100 WHERE artistname = 'Dean Martin'; sqlite> SELECT * FROM artist; artistid artistname -------- ----------------- 2 Frank Sinatra 100 Dean Martin sqlite> SELECT * FROM track; trackid trackname trackartist ------- ----------------- ----------- 11 That's Amore 100 12 Christmas Blues 100 13 My Way 2 (source foreignkeys.html, checked-by: tcl/e_fkey.test)
If the savepoint-name in a RELEASE command does not match any savepoint currently in the transaction stack, then no savepoints are released, the database is unchanged, and the RELEASE command returns an error. (source lang_savepoint.html)
Otherwise, if the ORDER BY expression is any other expression, it is evaluated and the returned value used to order the output rows. (source lang_select.html, checked-by: tcl/e_select.test)

An operand on a mathematical operator that does not look in any way numeric and is not NULL is converted to 0 or 0.0. (source datatype3.html)
CREATE TABLE t1( a TEXT, -- text affinity b NUMERIC, -- numeric affinity c BLOB, -- no affinity d -- no affinity ); -- Values will be stored as TEXT, INTEGER, TEXT, and INTEGER respectively INSERT INTO t1 VALUES('500', '500', '500', 500); SELECT typeof(a), typeof(b), typeof(c), typeof(d) FROM t1; text|integer|text|integer -- Because column "a" has text affinity, numeric values on the -- right-hand side of the comparisons are converted to text before -- the comparison occurs. SELECT a < 40, a < 60, a < 600 FROM t1; 0|1|1 -- Text affinity is applied to the right-hand operands but since -- they are already TEXT this is a no-op; no conversions occur. SELECT a < '40', a < '60', a < '600' FROM t1; 0|1|1 -- Column "b" has numeric affinity and so numeric affinity is applied -- to the operands on the right. Since the operands are already numeric, -- the application of affinity is a no-op; no conversions occur. All -- values are compared numerically. SELECT b < 40, b < 60, b < 600 FROM t1; 0|0|1 -- Numeric affinity is applied to operands on the right, converting them -- from text to integers. Then a numeric comparison occurs. SELECT b < '40', b < '60', b < '600' FROM t1; 0|0|1 -- No affinity conversions occur. Right-hand side values all have -- storage class INTEGER which are always less than the TEXT values -- on the left. SELECT c < 40, c < 60, c < 600 FROM t1; 0|0|0 -- No affinity conversions occur. Values are compared as TEXT. SELECT c < '40', c < '60', c < '600' FROM t1; 0|1|1 -- No affinity conversions occur. Right-hand side values all have -- storage class INTEGER which compare numerically with the INTEGER -- values on the left. SELECT d < 40, d < 60, d < 600 FROM t1; 0|0|1 -- No affinity conversions occur. INTEGER values on the left are -- always less than TEXT values on the right. SELECT d < '40', d < '60', d < '600' FROM t1; 1|1|1 (source datatype3.html)
If the parameter N to sqlite3_malloc() is zero or negative then sqlite3_malloc() returns a NULL pointer. (source c3ref/free.html)
