488293926 MDU6SXNzdWU0ODgyOTM5MjY= 58 Support enabling FTS on views 49260 closed 0     1 2019-09-02T18:56:36Z 2020-10-16T18:39:36Z 2020-10-16T18:39:31Z CONTRIBUTOR  

Right now enable_fts() is only implemented for Table(). Technically sqlite supports enabling fts on views. But it requires deeper thought since views don't have rowid and the current implementation of enable_fts() relies on the presence of rowid column.

It is possible to provide an alternative rowid using the content_rowid option to the FTS5() function.

Ref: https://sqlite.org/fts5.html#fts5_table_creation_and_initialization

The "content_rowid" option, used to set the rowid field of an external content table.

This will further complicate enable_fts() function by adding an extra argument. I'm wondering if that is outside the scope of this tool or should I work on that feature and send a PR?
