SQLITE3CHANGESET_START(3)  Library Functions Manual  SQLITE3CHANGESET_START(3)

NAME
     sqlite3changeset_start, sqlite3changeset_start_v2 - create an iterator to
     traverse a changeset

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sqlite3.h>

     int
     sqlite3changeset_start(sqlite3_changeset_iter **pp, int nChangeset,
         void *pChangeset);

     int
     sqlite3changeset_start_v2(sqlite3_changeset_iter **pp, int nChangeset,
         void *pChangeset, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     Create an iterator used to iterate through the contents of a changeset.
     If successful, *pp is set to point to the iterator handle and SQLITE_OK
     is returned.  Otherwise, if an error occurs, *pp is set to zero and an
     SQLite error code is returned.

     The following functions can be used to advance and query a changeset
     iterator created by this function:

     ⊕   sqlite3changeset_next()

     ⊕   sqlite3changeset_op()

     ⊕   sqlite3changeset_new()

     ⊕   sqlite3changeset_old()

     It is the responsibility of the caller to eventually destroy the iterator
     by passing it to sqlite3changeset_finalize().  The buffer containing the
     changeset (pChangeset) must remain valid until after the iterator is
     destroyed.

     Assuming the changeset blob was created by one of the
     sqlite3session_changeset(), sqlite3changeset_concat() or
     sqlite3changeset_invert() functions, all changes within the changeset
     that apply to a single table are grouped together.  This means that when
     an application iterates through a changeset using an iterator created by
     this function, all changes that relate to a single table are visited
     consecutively.  There is no chance that the iterator will visit a change
     the applies to table X, then one for table Y, and then later on visit
     another change for table X.

     The behavior of sqlite3changeset_start_v2() and its streaming equivalent
     may be modified by passing a combination of supported flags as the 4th
     parameter.

     Note that the sqlite3changeset_start_v2() API is still experimental and
     therefore subject to change.
