https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/releases/tag/3.35 | 117703394 | RE_kwDOCGYnMM4HBALi | 3.35 | main | 3.35 | 0 | 9599 | 0 | 2023-08-18T02:05:15Z | 2023-08-18T02:05:22Z | Adding foreign keys to a table no longer uses `PRAGMA writable_schema = 1` to directly manipulate the `sqlite_master` table. 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)) - Fixed a bug where `sqlite-utils install -e '.[test]'` option did not work correctly. | 140912432 | { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/releases/117703394/reactions", "total_count": 1, "+1": 1, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |
