<a href="intro.html"><h2>SQLite C Interface</h2></a>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Experimental And Deprecated Interfaces</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>SQLite interfaces can be subdivided into three categories:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Stable</li>
|
|
<li>Experimental</li>
|
|
<li>Deprecated</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Stable interfaces will be maintained indefinitely in a backwards
|
|
compatible way. An application that uses only stable interfaces
|
|
should always be able to relink against a newer version of SQLite
|
|
without any changes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Experimental interfaces are subject to change.
|
|
Applications that use experimental interfaces
|
|
may need to be modified when upgrading to a newer SQLite release, though
|
|
this is rare.
|
|
When new interfaces are added to SQLite, they generally begin
|
|
as experimental interfaces. After an interface has been in use for
|
|
a while and the developers are confident that the design of the interface
|
|
is sound and worthy of long-term support, the interface is marked
|
|
as stable.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Deprecated interfaces have been superceded by better methods of
|
|
accomplishing the same thing and should be avoided in new applications.
|
|
Deprecated interfaces continue to be supported for the sake of
|
|
backwards compatibility. At some point in the future, it is possible
|
|
that deprecated interfaces may be removed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Key points:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Experimental interfaces are subject to change and/or removal
|
|
at any time.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Deprecated interfaces should not be used in new code and might
|
|
be removed in some future release.</li>
|
|
</ul>
