This commit bumps the third-party SQLite to the 3.14.0 pre-release (18:59).
With 3.14.0 the LIKE and EQUALS constraint operators may be mixed within a
query. Previously these would fail to produce a valid set.
As part of the support, each virtual table should choose to bypass rowid-based
deduplication using the new "WITHOUT ROWID" create table epilog. This will
be appended to the schema if the table defines a PRIMARY KEY using index=True.
The three new SQLite functions:
- split: Splits a column using a set of tokens and a selected index.
- regex_split: Similar to split but with a regex instead of tokens.
- inet_aton: Returns the IPv4 decimal value for a string-formatted address.
Table options includes a change to the Registry::call API for TablePlugins.
When requesting route information or the 'columns' action, a new 'op' key is included.
This adds a new optimization feature that allows expensive tables to cache
their results between JOINs. Consider JOINing a list of open sockets, for each
process, then requesting to hash each process path. This query may hash
the same path multiple times.
Within-query caching allows the hash table to respond with the previous
result of the hash request as long as the requested computation was the result
of a single query. Subsequent queries will perform subsequent hashing.
2. Introduce a SQLite-based database plugin
3. Refactor database usage to include local 'fast-calls'
4. Introduce an 'ephemeral' database plugin for testing (like a mock)
1. Table implementations (spec files) can mark the table as 'cachable'.
2. Cached results depend on the shortest/quickest interval of scheduled
queries that act on results of the table.
3. The table API generator blocks caching on index/additional/required
table column options.
