DESCRIPTION
Summary:
sqlite3_value_blob -> BLOB value
sqlite3_value_double -> REAL value
sqlite3_value_int -> 32-bit INTEGER value
sqlite3_value_int64 -> 64-bit INTEGER value
sqlite3_value_pointer -> Pointer value
sqlite3_value_text -> UTF-8 TEXT value
sqlite3_value_text16 -> UTF-16 TEXT value in the native byteorder
sqlite3_value_text16be -> UTF-16be TEXT value
sqlite3_value_text16le -> UTF-16le TEXT value
sqlite3_value_bytes -> Size of a BLOB or a UTF-8 TEXT in bytes
sqlite3_value_bytes16 -> Size of UTF-16 TEXT in bytes
sqlite3_value_type -> Default datatype of the value
sqlite3_value_numeric_type -> Best numeric datatype of the value
sqlite3_value_nochange -> True if the column is unchanged in an
UPDATE against a virtual table.
sqlite3_value_frombind -> True if value originated from a bound
parameter
Details:
These routines extract type, size, and content information from protected
sqlite3_value objects. Protected sqlite3_value objects are used to pass
parameter information into the functions that implement application-
defined SQL functions and virtual tables.
These routines work only with protected sqlite3_value objects. Any
attempt to use these routines on an unprotected sqlite3_value is not
threadsafe.
These routines work just like the corresponding column access functions
except that these routines take a single protected sqlite3_value object
pointer instead of a sqlite3_stmt* pointer and an integer column number.
The sqlite3_value_text16() interface extracts a UTF-16 string in the
native byte-order of the host machine. The sqlite3_value_text16be() and
sqlite3_value_text16le() interfaces extract UTF-16 strings as big-endian
and little-endian respectively.
If sqlite3_value object V was initialized using
sqlite3_bind_pointer(S,I,P,X,D) or sqlite3_result_pointer(C,P,X,D) and if
X and Y are strings that compare equal according to strcmp(X,Y), then
sqlite3_value_pointer(V,Y) will return the pointer P. Otherwise,
sqlite3_value_pointer(V,Y) returns a NULL. The sqlite3_bind_pointer()
routine is part of the pointer passing interface added for SQLite 3.20.0.
The sqlite3_value_type(V) interface returns the datatype code for the
initial datatype of the sqlite3_value object V. The returned value is
one of SQLITE_INTEGER, SQLITE_FLOAT, SQLITE_TEXT, SQLITE_BLOB, or
SQLITE_NULL. Other interfaces might change the datatype for an
sqlite3_value object. For example, if the datatype is initially
SQLITE_INTEGER and sqlite3_value_text(V) is called to extract a text
value for that integer, then subsequent calls to sqlite3_value_type(V)
might return SQLITE_TEXT. Whether or not a persistent internal datatype
conversion occurs is undefined and may change from one release of SQLite
to the next.
The sqlite3_value_numeric_type() interface attempts to apply numeric
affinity to the value. This means that an attempt is made to convert the
value to an integer or floating point. If such a conversion is possible
without loss of information (in other words, if the value is a string
that looks like a number) then the conversion is performed. Otherwise no
conversion occurs. The datatype after conversion is returned.
Within the xUpdate method of a virtual table, the
sqlite3_value_nochange(X) interface returns true if and only if the
column corresponding to X is unchanged by the UPDATE operation that the
xUpdate method call was invoked to implement and if and the prior xColumn
method call that was invoked to extracted the value for that column
returned without setting a result (probably because it queried
sqlite3_vtab_nochange() and found that the column was unchanging).
Within an xUpdate method, any value for which sqlite3_value_nochange(X)
is true will in all other respects appear to be a NULL value. If
sqlite3_value_nochange(X) is invoked anywhere other than within an
xUpdate method call for an UPDATE statement, then the return value is
arbitrary and meaningless.
The sqlite3_value_frombind(X) interface returns non-zero if the value X
originated from one of the sqlite3_bind() interfaces. If X comes from an
SQL literal value, or a table column, or an expression, then
sqlite3_value_frombind(X) returns zero.
Please pay particular attention to the fact that the pointer returned
from sqlite3_value_blob(), sqlite3_value_text(), or
sqlite3_value_text16() can be invalidated by a subsequent call to
sqlite3_value_bytes(), sqlite3_value_bytes16(), sqlite3_value_text(), or
sqlite3_value_text16(). These routines must be called from the same
thread as the SQL function that supplied the sqlite3_value* parameters.
As long as the input parameter is correct, these routines can only fail
if an out-of-memory error occurs during a format conversion. Only the
following subset of interfaces are subject to out-of-memory errors:
⊕ sqlite3_value_blob()
⊕ sqlite3_value_text()
⊕ sqlite3_value_text16()
⊕ sqlite3_value_text16le()
⊕ sqlite3_value_text16be()
⊕ sqlite3_value_bytes()
⊕ sqlite3_value_bytes16()
If an out-of-memory error occurs, then the return value from these
routines is the same as if the column had contained an SQL NULL value.
Valid SQL NULL returns can be distinguished from out-of-memory errors by
invoking the sqlite3_errcode() immediately after the suspect return value
is obtained and before any other SQLite interface is called on the same
database connection.
