| <h2>C/C++ Interface For SQLite Version 3</h2>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>1.0 Overview</h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| SQLite version 3.0 is a new version of SQLite, derived from
 | |
| the SQLite 2.8.13 code base, but with an incompatible file format
 | |
| and API.
 | |
| SQLite version 3.0 was created to answer demand for the following features:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <ul>
 | |
| <li>Support for UTF-16.</li>
 | |
| <li>User-definable text collating sequences.</li>
 | |
| <li>The ability to store BLOBs in indexed columns.</li>
 | |
| </ul>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| It was necessary to move to version 3.0 to implement these features because
 | |
| each requires incompatible changes to the database file format.  Other
 | |
| incompatible changes, such as a cleanup of the API, were introduced at the
 | |
| same time under the theory that it is best to get your incompatible changes
 | |
| out of the way all at once.  
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The API for version 3.0 is similar to the version 2.X API,
 | |
| but with some important changes.  Most noticeably, the "<tt>sqlite_</tt>"
 | |
| prefix that occurs on the beginning of all API functions and data
 | |
| structures are changed to "<tt>sqlite3_</tt>".  
 | |
| This avoids confusion between the two APIs and allows linking against both
 | |
| SQLite 2.X and SQLite 3.0 at the same time.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| There is no agreement on what the C datatype for a UTF-16
 | |
| string should be.  Therefore, SQLite uses a generic type of void*
 | |
| to refer to UTF-16 strings.  Client software can cast the void* 
 | |
| to whatever datatype is appropriate for their system.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>2.0 C/C++ Interface</h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The API for SQLite 3.0 includes 83 separate functions in addition
 | |
| to several data structures and #defines.  (A complete
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/intro.html">API reference</a> is provided as a separate 
 | |
| document.)
 | |
| Fortunately, the interface is not nearly as complex as its size implies.
 | |
| Simple programs can still make do with only 3 functions:
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/open.html">sqlite3_open()</a>, <a href="c3ref/exec.html">sqlite3_exec()</a>, and <a href="c3ref/close.html">sqlite3_close()</a>.
 | |
| More control over the execution of the database engine is provided
 | |
| using <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a>
 | |
| to compile an SQLite statement into byte code and
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> to execute that bytecode.
 | |
| A family of routines with names beginning with 
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_</a>
 | |
| is used to extract information about the result set of a query.
 | |
| Many interface functions come in pairs, with both a UTF-8 and
 | |
| UTF-16 version.  And there is a collection of routines
 | |
| used to implement user-defined SQL functions and user-defined
 | |
| text collating sequences.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h4>2.1 Opening and closing a database</h4>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    typedef struct sqlite3 sqlite3;
 | |
|    int sqlite3_open(const char*, sqlite3**);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_open16(const void*, sqlite3**);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_close(sqlite3*);
 | |
|    const char *sqlite3_errmsg(sqlite3*);
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_errmsg16(sqlite3*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_errcode(sqlite3*);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_open() routine returns an integer error code rather than
 | |
| a pointer to the sqlite3 structure as the version 2 interface did.
 | |
| The difference between sqlite3_open()
 | |
| and sqlite3_open16() is that sqlite3_open16() takes UTF-16 (in host native
 | |
| byte order) for the name of the database file.  If a new database file
 | |
| needs to be created, then sqlite3_open16() sets the internal text
 | |
| representation to UTF-16 whereas sqlite3_open() sets the text
 | |
| representation to UTF-8.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The opening and/or creating of the database file is deferred until the
 | |
| file is actually needed.  This allows options and parameters, such
 | |
| as the native text representation and default page size, to be
 | |
| set using PRAGMA statements.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_errcode() routine returns a result code for the most
 | |
| recent major API call.  sqlite3_errmsg() returns an English-language
 | |
| text error message for the most recent error.  The error message is
 | |
| represented in UTF-8 and will be ephemeral - it could disappear on
 | |
| the next call to any SQLite API function.  sqlite3_errmsg16() works like
 | |
| sqlite3_errmsg() except that it returns the error message represented
 | |
| as UTF-16 in host native byte order.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The error codes for SQLite version 3 are unchanged from version 2.
 | |
| They are as follows:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
| #define SQLITE_OK           0   /* Successful result */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_ERROR        1   /* SQL error or missing database */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_INTERNAL     2   /* An internal logic error in SQLite */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_PERM         3   /* Access permission denied */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_ABORT        4   /* Callback routine requested an abort */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_BUSY         5   /* The database file is locked */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_LOCKED       6   /* A table in the database is locked */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_NOMEM        7   /* A malloc() failed */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_READONLY     8   /* Attempt to write a readonly database */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_INTERRUPT    9   /* Operation terminated by sqlite_interrupt() */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_IOERR       10   /* Some kind of disk I/O error occurred */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_CORRUPT     11   /* The database disk image is malformed */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_NOTFOUND    12   /* (Internal Only) Table or record not found */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_FULL        13   /* Insertion failed because database is full */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_CANTOPEN    14   /* Unable to open the database file */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_PROTOCOL    15   /* Database lock protocol error */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_EMPTY       16   /* (Internal Only) Database table is empty */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_SCHEMA      17   /* The database schema changed */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_TOOBIG      18   /* Too much data for one row of a table */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_CONSTRAINT  19   /* Abort due to contraint violation */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_MISMATCH    20   /* Data type mismatch */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_MISUSE      21   /* Library used incorrectly */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_NOLFS       22   /* Uses OS features not supported on host */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_AUTH        23   /* Authorization denied */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_ROW         100  /* sqlite_step() has another row ready */
 | |
| #define SQLITE_DONE        101  /* sqlite_step() has finished executing */
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h4>2.2 Executing SQL statements</h4>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    typedef int (*sqlite_callback)(void*,int,char**, char**);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_exec(sqlite3*, const char *sql, sqlite_callback, void*, char**);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The <a href="c3ref/exec.html">sqlite3_exec()</a> function works much as it did in SQLite version 2.
 | |
| Zero or more SQL statements specified in the second parameter are compiled
 | |
| and executed.  Query results are returned to a callback routine.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| In SQLite version 3, the sqlite3_exec routine is just a wrapper around
 | |
| calls to the prepared statement interface.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    typedef struct sqlite3_stmt sqlite3_stmt;
 | |
|    int sqlite3_prepare(sqlite3*, const char*, int, sqlite3_stmt**, const char**);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_prepare16(sqlite3*, const void*, int, sqlite3_stmt**, const void**);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_finalize(sqlite3_stmt*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_reset(sqlite3_stmt*);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_prepare interface compiles a single SQL statement into byte code
 | |
| for later execution.  This interface is now the preferred way of accessing
 | |
| the database.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The SQL statement is a UTF-8 string for sqlite3_prepare().
 | |
| The sqlite3_prepare16() works the same way except
 | |
| that it expects a UTF-16 string as SQL input.
 | |
| Only the first SQL statement in the input string is compiled.
 | |
| The fifth parameter is filled in with a pointer to the next (uncompiled)
 | |
| SQLite statement in the input string, if any.
 | |
| The sqlite3_finalize() routine deallocates a prepared SQL statement.
 | |
| All prepared statements must be finalized before the database can be
 | |
| closed.
 | |
| The sqlite3_reset() routine resets a prepared SQL statement so that it
 | |
| can be executed again.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The SQL statement may contain tokens of the form "?" or "?nnn" or ":aaa"
 | |
| where "nnn" is an integer and "aaa" is an identifier.
 | |
| Such tokens represent unspecified literal values (or "wildcards")
 | |
| to be filled in later by the 
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/bind_blob.html">sqlite3_bind</a> interface.
 | |
| Each wildcard has an associated number which is its sequence in the
 | |
| statement or the "nnn" in the case of a "?nnn" form. 
 | |
| It is allowed for the same wildcard
 | |
| to occur more than once in the same SQL statement, in which case
 | |
| all instance of that wildcard will be filled in with the same value.
 | |
| Unbound wildcards have a value of NULL.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_blob(sqlite3_stmt*, int, const void*, int n, void(*)(void*));
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_double(sqlite3_stmt*, int, double);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_int(sqlite3_stmt*, int, int);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_int64(sqlite3_stmt*, int, long long int);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_null(sqlite3_stmt*, int);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_text(sqlite3_stmt*, int, const char*, int n, void(*)(void*));
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_text16(sqlite3_stmt*, int, const void*, int n, void(*)(void*));
 | |
|    int sqlite3_bind_value(sqlite3_stmt*, int, const sqlite3_value*);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| There is an assortment of sqlite3_bind routines used to assign values
 | |
| to wildcards in a prepared SQL statement.  Unbound wildcards
 | |
| are interpreted as NULLs.  Bindings are not reset by sqlite3_reset().
 | |
| But wildcards can be rebound to new values after an sqlite3_reset().
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| After an SQL statement has been prepared (and optionally bound), it
 | |
| is executed using:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    int sqlite3_step(sqlite3_stmt*);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_step() routine return SQLITE_ROW if it is returning a single
 | |
| row of the result set, or SQLITE_DONE if execution has completed, either
 | |
| normally or due to an error.  It might also return SQLITE_BUSY if it is
 | |
| unable to open the database file.  If the return value is SQLITE_ROW, then
 | |
| the following routines can be used to extract information about that row
 | |
| of the result set:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_column_blob(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_column_bytes(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_column_bytes16(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_column_count(sqlite3_stmt*);
 | |
|    const char *sqlite3_column_decltype(sqlite3_stmt *, int iCol);
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_column_decltype16(sqlite3_stmt *, int iCol);
 | |
|    double sqlite3_column_double(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_column_int(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    long long int sqlite3_column_int64(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    const char *sqlite3_column_name(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_column_name16(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    const unsigned char *sqlite3_column_text(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_column_text16(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_column_type(sqlite3_stmt*, int iCol);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The <a href="c3ref/column_count.html">sqlite3_column_count()</a>
 | |
| function returns the number of columns in
 | |
| the results set.  sqlite3_column_count() can be called at any time after
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a>.  <a href="c3ref/data_count.html">sqlite3_data_count()</a> works similarly to
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/column_count.html">sqlite3_column_count()</a> except that it only works following <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a>.
 | |
| If the previous call to <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> returned SQLITE_DONE or an error code,
 | |
| then <a href="c3ref/data_count.html">sqlite3_data_count()</a> will return 0 whereas <a href="c3ref/column_count.html">sqlite3_column_count()</a> will
 | |
| continue to return the number of columns in the result set.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>Returned data is examined using the other 
 | |
| <a href="c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_***()</a> functions, 
 | |
| all of which take a column number as their second parameter. Columns are
 | |
| zero-indexed from left to right. Note that this is different to parameters,
 | |
| which are indexed starting at one.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The <a href="c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_type()</a> function returns the
 | |
| datatype for the value in the Nth column.  The return value is one
 | |
| of these:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_INTEGER  1
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_FLOAT    2
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_TEXT     3
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_BLOB     4
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_NULL     5
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_column_decltype() routine returns text which is the
 | |
| declared type of the column in the CREATE TABLE statement.  For an
 | |
| expression, the return type is an empty string.  sqlite3_column_name()
 | |
| returns the name of the Nth column.  sqlite3_column_bytes() returns
 | |
| the number of bytes in a column that has type BLOB or the number of bytes
 | |
| in a TEXT string with UTF-8 encoding.  sqlite3_column_bytes16() returns
 | |
| the same value for BLOBs but for TEXT strings returns the number of bytes
 | |
| in a UTF-16 encoding.
 | |
| sqlite3_column_blob() return BLOB data.  
 | |
| sqlite3_column_text() return TEXT data as UTF-8.
 | |
| sqlite3_column_text16() return TEXT data as UTF-16.
 | |
| sqlite3_column_int() return INTEGER data in the host machines native
 | |
| integer format.
 | |
| sqlite3_column_int64() returns 64-bit INTEGER data.
 | |
| Finally, sqlite3_column_double() return floating point data.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| It is not necessary to retrieve data in the format specify by
 | |
| sqlite3_column_type().  If a different format is requested, the data
 | |
| is converted automatically.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| Data format conversions can invalidate the pointer returned by
 | |
| prior calls to sqlite3_column_blob(), sqlite3_column_text(), and/or
 | |
| sqlite3_column_text16().  Pointers might be invalided in the following
 | |
| cases:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <ul>
 | |
| <li><p>
 | |
| The initial content is a BLOB and sqlite3_column_text() 
 | |
| or sqlite3_column_text16()
 | |
| is called.  A zero-terminator might need to be added to the string.
 | |
| </p></li>
 | |
| <li><p>
 | |
| The initial content is UTF-8 text and sqlite3_column_bytes16() or
 | |
| sqlite3_column_text16() is called.  The content must be converted to UTF-16.

| Note that conversions between UTF-16be and UTF-16le

| The safest and easiest to remember policy is this: assume that any
 | |
| result from
 | |
| <ul>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_blob(),</li>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_text(), or</li>
 | |

| </ul>
 | |
| is invalided by subsequent calls to 
 | |
| <ul>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_bytes(),</li>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_bytes16(),</li>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_text(), or</li>
 | |
| <li>sqlite3_column_text16().</li>
 | |
| </ul>
 | |
| This means that you should always call sqlite3_column_bytes() or
 | |
| sqlite3_column_bytes16() <u>before</u> calling sqlite3_column_blob(),
 | |
| sqlite3_column_text(), or sqlite3_column_text16().

| <h4>2.3 User-defined functions</h4>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| User defined functions can be created using the following routine:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    typedef struct sqlite3_value sqlite3_value;
 | |
|    int sqlite3_create_function(
 | |
|      sqlite3 *,
 | |
|      const char *zFunctionName,
 | |
|      int nArg,
 | |
|      int eTextRep,
 | |
|      void*,
 | |
|      void (*xFunc)(sqlite3_context*,int,sqlite3_value**),
 | |
|      void (*xStep)(sqlite3_context*,int,sqlite3_value**),
 | |
|      void (*xFinal)(sqlite3_context*)
 | |
|    );
 | |
|    int sqlite3_create_function16(
 | |
|      sqlite3*,
 | |
|      const void *zFunctionName,
 | |
|      int nArg,
 | |
|      int eTextRep,
 | |
|      void*,
 | |
|      void (*xFunc)(sqlite3_context*,int,sqlite3_value**),
 | |
|      void (*xStep)(sqlite3_context*,int,sqlite3_value**),
 | |
|      void (*xFinal)(sqlite3_context*)
 | |
|    );
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_UTF8     1
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_UTF16    2
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_UTF16BE  3
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_UTF16LE  4
 | |
|    #define SQLITE_ANY      5
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The nArg parameter specifies the number of arguments to the function.
 | |
| A value of 0 indicates that any number of arguments is allowed.  The
 | |
| eTextRep parameter specifies what representation text values are expected
 | |
| to be in for arguments to this function.  The value of this parameter should
 | |
| be one of the parameters defined above.  SQLite version 3 allows multiple
 | |
| implementations of the same function using different text representations.
 | |
| The database engine chooses the function that minimization the number
 | |
| of text conversions required.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| Normal functions specify only xFunc and leave xStep and xFinal set to NULL.
 | |
| Aggregate functions specify xStep and xFinal and leave xFunc set to NULL.
 | |
| There is no separate sqlite3_create_aggregate() API.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The function name is specified in UTF-8.  A separate sqlite3_create_function16()
 | |
| API works the same as sqlite_create_function()
 | |
| except that the function name is specified in UTF-16 host byte order.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| Notice that the parameters to functions are now pointers to sqlite3_value
 | |
| structures instead of pointers to strings as in SQLite version 2.X.
 | |
| The following routines are used to extract useful information from these
 | |
| "values":
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_value_blob(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_value_bytes(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_value_bytes16(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    double sqlite3_value_double(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_value_int(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    long long int sqlite3_value_int64(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    const unsigned char *sqlite3_value_text(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    const void *sqlite3_value_text16(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
|    int sqlite3_value_type(sqlite3_value*);
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| Function implementations use the following APIs to acquire context and
 | |
| to report results:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    void *sqlite3_aggregate_context(sqlite3_context*, int nbyte);
 | |
|    void *sqlite3_user_data(sqlite3_context*);
 | |
|    void sqlite3_result_blob(sqlite3_context*, const void*, int n, void(*)(void*));
 | |
|    void sqlite3_result_double(sqlite3_context*, double);

 | |
|    void *sqlite3_get_auxdata(sqlite3_context*, int);

| <h4>2.4 User-defined collating sequences</h4>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The following routines are used to implement user-defined
 | |
| collating sequences:
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <blockquote><pre>
 | |
|    sqlite3_create_collation(sqlite3*, const char *zName, int eTextRep, void*,
 | |
|       int(*xCompare)(void*,int,const void*,int,const void*));
 | |
|    sqlite3_create_collation16(sqlite3*, const void *zName, int eTextRep, void*,
 | |
|       int(*xCompare)(void*,int,const void*,int,const void*));
 | |
|    sqlite3_collation_needed(sqlite3*, void*, 
 | |
|       void(*)(void*,sqlite3*,int eTextRep,const char*));
 | |
|    sqlite3_collation_needed16(sqlite3*, void*,
 | |
|       void(*)(void*,sqlite3*,int eTextRep,const void*));
 | |
| </pre></blockquote>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_create_collation() function specifies a collating sequence name
 | |
| and a comparison function to implement that collating sequence.  The
 | |
| comparison function is only used for comparing text values.  The eTextRep
 | |
| parameter is one of SQLITE_UTF8, SQLITE_UTF16LE, SQLITE_UTF16BE, or
 | |
| SQLITE_ANY to specify which text representation the comparison function works
 | |
| with.  Separate comparison functions can exist for the same collating
 | |
| sequence for each of the UTF-8, UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE text representations.
 | |
| The sqlite3_create_collation16() works like sqlite3_create_collation() except
 | |
| that the collation name is specified in UTF-16 host byte order instead of
 | |
| in UTF-8.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| The sqlite3_collation_needed() routine registers a callback which the
 | |
| database engine will invoke if it encounters an unknown collating sequence.
 | |
| The callback can lookup an appropriate comparison function and invoke
 | |
| sqlite_3_create_collation() as needed.  The fourth parameter to the callback
 | |
| is the name of the collating sequence in UTF-8.  For sqlite3_collation_need16()
 | |
| the callback sends the collating sequence name in UTF-16 host byte order.
 | |
| </p>
