This was resulting in errors in some Python installations where the SQLite library was compiled in a way that prevented this from working, in particular on macOS. Foreign keys are now added using the [table transformation](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) mechanism instead. ([#577](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/577))

This new mechanism creates a full copy of the table, so it is likely to be significantly slower for large tables, but will no longer trigger table `sqlite_master may not be modified` errors on platforms that do not support `PRAGMA writable_schema = 1`.

A new plugin, [sqlite-utils-fast-fks](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils-fast-fks), is now available for developers who still want to use that faster but riskier implementation.

Other changes:

- The [table.transform() method](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) has two new parameters: `foreign_keys=` allows you to replace the foreign key constraints defined on a table, and `add_foreign_keys=` lets you specify new foreign keys to add. These complement the existing `drop_foreign_keys=` parameter. ([#577](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/577))
- The [sqlite-utils transform](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-transform-table) command has a new `--add-foreign-key` option which can be called multiple times to add foreign keys to a table that is being transformed. ([#585](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/585))
- [sqlite-utils convert](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-convert) now has a `--pdb` option for opening a debugger on the first encountered error in your conversion script. ([#581](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/581))

- `table.create(...)` method now accepts `replace=True` to drop and replace an existing table with the same name, or `ignore=True` to silently do nothing if a table already exists with the same name. ([#568](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/568))
- `sqlite-utils insert ... --stop-after 10` option for stopping the insert after a specified number of records. Works for the `upsert` command as well. ([#561](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/561))
- The `--csv` and `--tsv` modes for `insert` now accept a `--empty-null` option, which cases empty strings in the CSV file to be stored as `null` in the database. ([#563](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/563))
- New `db.rename_table(table_name, new_name)` method for renaming tables. ([#565](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/565))
- `sqlite-utils rename-table my.db table_name new_name` command for renaming tables. ([#565](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/565))
- The `table.transform(...)` method now takes an optional `keep_table=new_table_name` parameter, which will cause the original table to be renamed to `new_table_name` rather than being dropped at the end of the transformation. ([#571](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/571))
- Documentation now notes that calling `table.transform()` without any arguments will reformat the SQL schema stored by SQLite to be more aesthetically pleasing.

- New `db.iterdump()` method, providing an iterator over SQL strings representing a dump of the database.

These tools can be used to apply a Python conversion function to one or more columns of a table, either updating the column in place or using transformed data from that column to populate one or more other columns.

This command-line example uses the Python standard library [textwrap module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html) to wrap the content of the `content` column in the `articles` table to 100 characters:
```
$ sqlite-utils convert content.db articles content\
    '""\n"".join(textwrap.wrap(value, 100))'\
    --import=textwrap
```
The same operation in Python code looks like this:
```python
import sqlite_utils, textwrap

db = sqlite_utils.Database(""content.db"")
db[""articles""].convert(""content"", lambda v: ""\n"".join(textwrap.wrap(v, 100)))
```
See the full documentation for the [sqlite-utils convert command](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-convert) and the [table.convert(...)](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-convert) Python method for more details.

Also new: `sqlite-utils insert --detect-types`, `sqlite-utils dump`, `table.use_rowid` plus some smaller fixes.

### sqlite-utils memory

This example of `sqlite-utils memory` retrieves information about the all of the repositories in the [Dogsheep](https://github.com/dogsheep) organization on GitHub using [this JSON API](https://api.github.com/users/dogsheep/repos), sorts them by their number of stars and outputs a table of the top five (using `-t`):

```
$ curl -s 'https://api.github.com/users/dogsheep/repos'\
  | sqlite-utils memory - '
      select full_name, forks_count, stargazers_count
      from stdin order by stargazers_count desc limit 5
    ' -t
full_name                            forks_count    stargazers_count
---------------------------------  -------------  ------------------
dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite                    12                 225
dogsheep/github-to-sqlite                     14                 139
dogsheep/dogsheep-photos                       5                 116
dogsheep/dogsheep.github.io                    7                  90
dogsheep/healthkit-to-sqlite                   4                  85
```

The tool works against files on disk as well. This example joins data from two CSV files:

```
$ cat creatures.csv
species_id,name
1,Cleo
2,Bants
2,Dori
2,Azi
$ cat species.csv
id,species_name
1,Dog
2,Chicken
$ sqlite-utils memory species.csv creatures.csv '
  select * from creatures join species on creatures.species_id = species.id
'
[{""species_id"": 1, ""name"": ""Cleo"", ""id"": 1, ""species_name"": ""Dog""},
 {""species_id"": 2, ""name"": ""Bants"", ""id"": 2, ""species_name"": ""Chicken""},
 {""species_id"": 2, ""name"": ""Dori"", ""id"": 2, ""species_name"": ""Chicken""},
 {""species_id"": 2, ""name"": ""Azi"", ""id"": 2, ""species_name"": ""Chicken""}]
```

Here the `species.csv` file becomes the `species` table, the `creatures.csv` file becomes the `creatures` table and the output is JSON, the default output format.

You can also use the `--attach` option to attach existing SQLite database files to the in-memory database, in order to join data from CSV or JSON directly against your existing tables.

Full documentation of this new feature is available in [Querying data directly using an in-memory database](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-memory). ([#272](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/272))

### sqlite-utils insert --detect-types

The [sqlite-utils insert](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-inserting-data) command can be used to insert data from JSON, CSV or TSV files into a SQLite database file. The new `--detect-types` option (shortcut `-d`), when used in conjunction with a CSV or TSV import, will automatically detect if columns in the file are integers or floating point numbers as opposed to treating everything as a text column and create the new table with the corresponding schema. See [Inserting CSV or TSV data](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-csv-tsv) for details. ([#282](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/282))

### Other changes

-   **Bug fix**: `table.transform()`, when run against a table without explicit primary keys, would incorrectly create a new version of the table with an explicit primary key column called `rowid`. ([#284](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/284))

The `table.search()` method has been redesigned, see [Searching with table.search()](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python-api.html#python-api-fts-search). ([#197](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/197))

The release includes minor backwards-incompatible changes, hence the version bump to 3.0. Those changes, which should not affect most users, are:

-   The `-c` shortcut option for outputting CSV is no longer available. The full `--csv` option is required instead.
-   The `-f` shortcut for `--fmt` has also been removed - use `--fmt`.
-   The `table.search()` method now defaults to sorting by relevance, not sorting by `rowid`. ([#198](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/198))
-   The `table.search()` method now returns a generator over a list of Python dictionaries. It previously returned a list of tuples.

Also in this release:

-   The `query`, `tables`, `rows` and `search` CLI commands now accept a new `--tsv` option which outputs the results in TSV. ([#193](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/193))
-   A new `table.virtual_table_using` property reveals if a table is a virtual table, and returns the upper case type of virtual table (e.g. `FTS4` or `FTS5`) if it is. It returns `None` if the table is not a virtual table. ([#196](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/196))

### Transform

SQLite's ALTER TABLE has [several documented limitations](https://sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html). The `table.transform()` Python method and `sqlite-utils transform` CLI command work around these limitations using a pattern where a new table with the desired structure is created, data is copied over to it and the old table is then dropped and replaced by the new one.

You can use these tools to drop columns, change column types, rename columns, add and remove `NOT NULL` and defaults, remove foreign key constraints and more. See the [transforming tables (CLI)](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-transform-table) and [transforming tables (Python library)](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-transform) documentation for full details of how to use them.

### Extract

Sometimes a database table - especially one imported from a CSV file - will contain duplicate data. A `Trees` table may include a `Species` column with only a few dozen unique values, when the table itself contains thousands of rows.

The `table.extract()` method and `sqlite-utils extract` commands can extract a column - or multiple columns - out into a separate lookup table, and set up a foreign key relationship from the original table.

The Python library [extract() documentation](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-extract) describes how extraction works in detail, and [Extracting columns into a separate table](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-extract) in the CLI documentation includes a detailed example.

### Other changes

The `upsert` command-line utility and the `.upsert()` and `.upsert_all()` Python API methods have had their behaviour altered. They used to completely replace the affected records: now, they update the specified values on existing records but leave other columns unaffected.

See [Upserting data using the Python API](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-upsert) and [Upserting data using the CLI](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#upserting-data) for full details.

If you want the old behaviour - where records were completely replaced - you can use `$ sqlite-utils insert ... --replace` on the command-line and `.insert(..., replace=True)` and `.insert_all(..., replace=True)` in the Python API. See [Insert-replacing data using the Python API](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-insert-replace) and [Insert-replacing data using the CLI](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#cli-insert-replace) for more.
