4 hours ago
- #SQLite Features
- #JSON Support
- #Full-Text Search
- SQLite supports storing and querying JSON data directly through its JSON extension, allowing flexible schemas and indexed queries for faster performance.
- The FTS5 extension provides full-text search capabilities, including ranking, phrase queries, and prefix searches, all within a single database file.
- Window functions and CTEs enable powerful analytics, such as running totals and complex reporting, without needing heavier databases.
- Strict tables offer better type enforcement, rejecting invalid data types at insert time to improve schema predictability and reduce bugs.
- Generated columns automate the synchronization of derived data, such as computed fields, making queries efficient through indexing.
- Write-ahead logging (WAL) mode enhances concurrency and performance by allowing non-blocking reads and writes, beneficial for desktop apps and small services.
