Thank you. ** ** This SQLite extension implements the SQL function tryeval(). tryeval() ** takes zero or more arguments, each of which is an SQL statement. ** The tryeval() function returns the first column of the first row ** that has a non-NULL first column across each of the argument SQL ** statements. Evaluation stops as soon as the first row with a ** non-NULL first column is encountered. Errors in evaluation are ** silently ignored, moving on the next SQL statement argument. ** If none of the arguments successfully executes and returns a row ** with a non-NULL first column, then NULL is returned. ** ** Update: Also the expire(V) and expire(V,N) functions. See comments ** below for details. ** ** The purpose of this function is to help evaluate recursive ** behavior, and expecially the bug report at ** https://sqlite.org/bugs/info/3577bc69c52237a4 2026-10-25T19:26:00Z ** ** To build (with SODIR being the directory that contains your ** sqlite3.h and sqlite3ext.h headers): ** ** Linux: gcc -O2 -shared -I$SQDIR -fPIC -o tryeval.so tryeval.c ** Mac: gcc -O2 -dynamiclib -fPIC -I$SQDIR -o tryeval.dylib tryeval.c ** Win32: cl /Os -I%SQDIR% tryeval.c -link -dll -out:tryeval.dll */ #include "sqlite3ext.h" SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT1 #include /* ** Implementation of the tryeval(...) */ static void tryEvalFunc( sqlite3_context *context, int argc, sqlite3_value **argv ){ const char *zSql; /* Next SQL statement to evaluate */ sqlite3 *db; /* The database connection */ sqlite3_stmt *pStmt; /* Compiled bytecode for zSql */ int bDone = 0; /* True if a row with non-NULL first column seen */ int rc; /* Result from sqlite3 API calls */ int i; /* Loop counter */ db = sqlite3_context_db_handle(context); for(i=0; !bDone && i=2 ? sqlite3_value_int(argv[1]) : -1; #ifdef SQLITE_TESTCTRL_EXPIRE_STMTS sqlite3_test_control(SQLITE_TESTCTRL_EXPIRE_STMTS, db, iDb); #endif sqlite3_result_value(context, argv[0]); } #ifdef _WIN32 __declspec(dllexport) #endif int sqlite3_tryeval_init( sqlite3 *db, char **pzErrMsg, const sqlite3_api_routines *pApi ){ int rc = SQLITE_OK; SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT2(pApi); (void)pzErrMsg; /* Unused parameter */ rc = sqlite3_create_function(db, "tryeval", -1, SQLITE_UTF8, 0, tryEvalFunc, 0, 0); if( rc==SQLITE_OK ){ rc = sqlite3_create_function(db, "expire", 1, SQLITE_UTF8|SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC, 0, expireFunc, 0, 0); } if( rc==SQLITE_OK ){ rc = sqlite3_create_function(db, "expire", 2, SQLITE_UTF8|SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC, 0, expireFunc, 0, 0); } return rc; }
