Hi,
On my Debian stable 64-bit system, SQLite3 has FTS (full text search)
enabled (although at version 3 rather than the recommended version 4):
Python 3.2.3 (default, Feb 20 2013, 14:44:27) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
import sqlite3
con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
cur = con.execute("pragma compile_options")
for row in cur:
print(row)
...
('ENABLE_FTS3',)
...
But on Windows when I use the official Python 3.3 32-bit binary
from www.python.org this is not enabled.
My guess is that on Debian, the packagers install a full SQLite 3
and the Python package uses that. But on Windows I think the Python
packagers bundle their own SQLite (quite rightly since it might not
already be installed).
I'd like the Windows binary to include SQLite 3 with FTS4 support,
but I don't know how much work that involves or if it would make
the Python .msi file too big?
Anyway, I guess if anyone else is interested in this they
could perhaps reply to indicate this?
If you're curious about the feature, it is documented here:
http://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html
It is compile time option.
http://www.sqlite.org/compile.html#enable_fts3
you have to build it with this option enabled.
As an option can be represented in a single bit then presumably the
Windows msi file only needs an extra bit to allow for this, or have I
missed something? While I'm at it what is this "compile time" thingy,
being on Windows I'm not used to seeing such terminology?
