TFA says a bunch of math functions are included but aren’t built by default.
I’m wondering if they have a probation (—edit— prohibition even, stupid spellcheck) on new utility functions (so they would only have to be written once and everyone would benefit) hidden behind feature flags or if nobody has bothered to send in a patch?
Also wondering if there’s a benefit to having the database call the functions over just doing it yourself in whatever language you are using? Not a db person so don’t know.
- banana_giraffe 4y agoTFA is kinda wrong about them being disabled by default. They are behind a define macro, but that macro is enabled by default on the makefiles that ship with SQLite. I'd certainly expect them to be available in a normal build of SQLite. > if nobody has bothered to send in a patch Quoting from SQLite: > SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation. But SQLite is not open-contribution. They pretty tightly control who can contribute to the code base for a few reasons .. they don't accept patches from the outside.
