That scan would run at most once every 5 (n) seconds - the check is triggered if it’s run more recently than that it doesn’t run.
Hopefully this means it could be done as a blocking operation, rather than trying to run it in a thread.
When it runs it scans for *.db or *.sqlite files (maybe one or two other extensions) that it hasn’t seen before. It also checks that the existing list of known database files still exists.
If it finds any new ones it connects to them once to run `.schema`. It also runs `PRAGMA schema_version` on each known database so that it can compare the schema version number to the last one it saw. That's how it detects if there are new tables or if the cached schema needs to be updated.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",770436876,Maintain an in-memory SQLite table of connected databases and their tables,
