Summary: SQLite3's SQLite3Result::fetchArray runs the query
again.

I hate when that happens, although I guess I'm clear:
Typo in Expected Result: "Fetching should cause duplicate";
should be:"Fetching should NOT cause duplicate";
Typo in EXAMPLE2: "Another used has encountered an issue like"
should be: "Another user has encountered an issue like"

Description:
------------
I was quite surprised to find that, but SQLite3 results cause the query to
execute
a second time when you try to fetch from them (after the query() call).
This is not just a harmless performance issue. When the query is an INSERT
query,
it causes duplicate rows, and creates all kinds of other messes.
IMPORTANT: If you perform the same tests with the SQLite3 driver for PDO, it
doesn't have this issue (fetching results won't cause the query to run again).
The
issue is specific to the SQLite3 extension.
Test script:
---------------
EXAMPLE1:
I caught that when I run an INSERT query through a generic routine which always
uses query() and then runs fetchArray() in a loop to see if something was
returned. Naturally INSERT queries return nothing, but trying to fetch on an
empty result set should NOT produce side effects:
$conn = new SQLite3('Log.sqlite', \SQLITE3_OPEN_READWRITE);
$res = $conn->query('INSERT INTO Table VALUES(null, 1, 2, 3'); // Inserts a row
here (the null is an auto-incrementing PK).
$res->fetchArray()); // Inserts the *same* row data as above, again (with the
next auto-incrementing PK number).
$res->fetchArray()); // And yet again...
EXAMPLE2:
Another way to prove that something is fishy, is by registering a PHP function
for use in SQLite3. Let's say we have a table with a column "id", and we have
three rows, with "id" values 1, 2, 3.
function testing($val) {
echo 'Testing with: ' . $val . '<br>';
return true;
}
$conn = new SQLite3('Log.sqlite', \SQLITE3_OPEN_READWRITE);
$conn->createFunction('testing', 'testing', 1);
$res = $conn->query('SELECT * FROM Table WHERE testing(id)'); // "Testing with:
1"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1" (notice the repetition of 1
with the query above, this shouldn't occur).
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3"
// At this point the next call to fetchArray() will return false, as it should.
But what's happening internally? Something else:
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1" again. Huh? Why is it running
that again?
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 1"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 2"
$arr = $res->fetchArray(); // "Testing with: 3"
// ...and so on forever.
Another used has encountered an issue like this over 6 months ago (!) which
means this bug has been around for a while:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12981332/php-sqlite3resultfetcharray-re-executes-query
Expected result:
----------------
The SQLite3 extension should execute a query once, and each row of the result
set
should be executed once, like PDO's SQLite3 driver does.
Fetching should cause duplicate INSERTS and twice computed results.
Actual result:
--------------
The SQLite3 extension executes the query again when fetching from the result
set.
