FTS5
is it possible to use FTS5 feature?
That's a good idea. The FTS5 extension hasn't been added to the SQLite version we're using, but it should be possible to add.
It'll probably be next week or weekend though, not in the next few days.
It's only a few years overdue (!), but progress is now being made with this.
The same extensions we use in the DB Browser for SQLite nightly builds, are now available for use in our Live SQLite databases. They are:
- COLUMN_METADATA
- FTS3
- FTS3_PARENTHESIS
- FTS5
- GEOPOLY
- JSON1
- MATH_FUNCTIONS
- RTREE
- SOUNDEX
- STAT4
For reference, the commit which added them is: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/dbhub.io/commit/d1f469cd37d5ee8c817fec09c285951d8cc15ac8
This has been deployed to production, and is available for both Standard and Live databases.
As Standard databases are read only, they'll need the FTS5 added before being uploaded. FTS5 queries will operate fine on them after they're uploaded though.
For Live databases, the FTS5 virtual tables and data can be created using any of the standard ways to run SQL. eg via the API, via the Execute SQL tab, uploaded after creation in DB4S, etc.
