I don't know. Back in the day, assembly was low-level because it was directly converted to machine code. C was high level because you could express more complex structures without worrying about the underlying architecture. I still like that distinction. I think people are trying to call C low

Since this thread has ... become what it is ... I may as well add a couple of details. The widely-used compiler LLVM uses an intermediate representation of your code, called 'Bitcode'. In other words, it's not a simple case of compiling straight to object code. This feeds into some

Dear group, We encountered a somewhat obscure scenario that leaves an sqlite database in a corrupted state (tested with sqlite 3.8.8). Our case deals with - an in-memory database "db" with an attached file database "other.db". - "db" starts a transaction, - "db" tries to create a table

[sqlite] What's the best way to pass function information to virtual table?

2015-06-16 Thread Jerry
Hi, I am working on sqlite+rocksdb, i.e., using rocksdb as the back-end using sqlite virtual table. With xBestIndex and xFilter, we can pass the constraint information (e.g., those from WHERE clause) to virtual table (through struct sqlite3_index_info), so that we can locate the cursor to narrow

With a relational model you have a choice between relational calculus or relational algebra. SQL does one of them. I have used a language which did the other, long ago in a land far away. On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 9:56 AM, wrote: > >>>I think the best database language should reflect how
