55 ** EXTENSION API FUNCTIONS
58 ** Return a copy of the context pointer the extension function was
61 ** xColumnTotalSize(pFts, iCol, pnToken):
62 ** If parameter iCol is less than zero, set output variable *pnToken
63 ** to the total number of tokens in the FTS5 table. Or, if iCol is
64 ** non-negative but less than the number of columns in the table, return
65 ** the total number of tokens in column iCol, considering all rows in
68 ** If parameter iCol is greater than or equal to the number of columns
69 ** in the table, SQLITE_RANGE is returned. Or, if an error occurs (e.g.
70 ** an OOM condition or IO error), an appropriate SQLite error code is
73 ** xColumnCount(pFts):
74 ** Return the number of columns in the table.
76 ** xColumnSize(pFts, iCol, pnToken):
77 ** If parameter iCol is less than zero, set output variable *pnToken
78 ** to the total number of tokens in the current row. Or, if iCol is
79 ** non-negative but less than the number of columns in the table, set
80 ** *pnToken to the number of tokens in column iCol of the current row.
82 ** If parameter iCol is greater than or equal to the number of columns
83 ** in the table, SQLITE_RANGE is returned. Or, if an error occurs (e.g.
84 ** an OOM condition or IO error), an appropriate SQLite error code is
87 ** This function may be quite inefficient if used with an FTS5 table
88 ** created with the "columnsize=0" option.
91 ** This function attempts to retrieve the text of column iCol of the
92 ** current document. If successful, (*pz) is set to point to a buffer
93 ** containing the text in utf-8 encoding, (*pn) is set to the size in bytes
94 ** (not characters) of the buffer and SQLITE_OK is returned. Otherwise,
95 ** if an error occurs, an SQLite error code is returned and the final values
96 ** of (*pz) and (*pn) are undefined.
99 ** Returns the number of phrases in the current query expression.
102 ** Returns the number of tokens in phrase iPhrase of the query. Phrases
103 ** are numbered starting from zero.
106 ** Set *pnInst to the total number of occurrences of all phrases within
107 ** the query within the current row. Return SQLITE_OK if successful, or
108 ** an error code (i.e. SQLITE_NOMEM) if an error occurs.
110 ** This API can be quite slow if used with an FTS5 table created with the
111 ** "detail=none" or "detail=column" option. If the FTS5 table is created
112 ** with either "detail=none" or "detail=column" and "content=" option
113 ** (i.e. if it is a contentless table), then this API always returns 0.
116 ** Query for the details of phrase match iIdx within the current row.
117 ** Phrase matches are numbered starting from zero, so the iIdx argument
118 ** should be greater than or equal to zero and smaller than the value
119 ** output by xInstCount().
121 ** Usually, output parameter *piPhrase is set to the phrase number, *piCol
122 ** to the column in which it occurs and *piOff the token offset of the
123 ** first token of the phrase. Returns SQLITE_OK if successful, or an error
124 ** code (i.e. SQLITE_NOMEM) if an error occurs.
126 ** This API can be quite slow if used with an FTS5 table created with the
127 ** "detail=none" or "detail=column" option.
130 ** Returns the rowid of the current row.
133 ** Tokenize text using the tokenizer belonging to the FTS5 table.
135 ** xQueryPhrase(pFts5, iPhrase, pUserData, xCallback):
136 ** This API function is used to query the FTS table for phrase iPhrase
137 ** of the current query. Specifically, a query equivalent to:
139 ** ... FROM ftstable WHERE ftstable MATCH $p ORDER BY rowid
141 ** with $p set to a phrase equivalent to the phrase iPhrase of the
142 ** current query is executed. Any column filter that applies to
143 ** phrase iPhrase of the current query is included in $p. For each
144 ** row visited, the callback function passed as the fourth argument
145 ** is invoked. The context and API objects passed to the callback
146 ** function may be used to access the properties of each matched row.
147 ** Invoking Api.xUserData() returns a copy of the pointer passed as
148 ** the third argument to pUserData.
150 ** If the callback function returns any value other than SQLITE_OK, the
151 ** query is abandoned and the xQueryPhrase function returns immediately.
152 ** If the returned value is SQLITE_DONE, xQueryPhrase returns SQLITE_OK.
153 ** Otherwise, the error code is propagated upwards.
155 ** If the query runs to completion without incident, SQLITE_OK is returned.
156 ** Or, if some error occurs before the query completes or is aborted by
157 ** the callback, an SQLite error code is returned.
160 ** xSetAuxdata(pFts5, pAux, xDelete)
162 ** Save the pointer passed as the second argument as the extension function's
163 ** "auxiliary data". The pointer may then be retrieved by the current or any
164 ** future invocation of the same fts5 extension function made as part of
165 ** the same MATCH query using the xGetAuxdata() API.
167 ** Each extension function is allocated a single auxiliary data slot for
168 ** each FTS query (MATCH expression). If the extension function is invoked
169 ** more than once for a single FTS query, then all invocations share a
170 ** single auxiliary data context.
172 ** If there is already an auxiliary data pointer when this function is
173 ** invoked, then it is replaced by the new pointer. If an xDelete callback
174 ** was specified along with the original pointer, it is invoked at this
177 ** The xDelete callback, if one is specified, is also invoked on the
178 ** auxiliary data pointer after the FTS5 query has finished.
180 ** If an error (e.g. an OOM condition) occurs within this function,
181 ** the auxiliary data is set to NULL and an error code returned. If the
182 ** xDelete parameter was not NULL, it is invoked on the auxiliary data
183 ** pointer before returning.
186 ** xGetAuxdata(pFts5, bClear)
188 ** Returns the current auxiliary data pointer for the fts5 extension
189 ** function. See the xSetAuxdata() method for details.
191 ** If the bClear argument is non-zero, then the auxiliary data is cleared
192 ** (set to NULL) before this function returns. In this case the xDelete,
193 ** if any, is not invoked.
196 ** xRowCount(pFts5, pnRow)
198 ** This function is used to retrieve the total number of rows in the table.
199 ** In other words, the same value that would be returned by:
201 ** SELECT count(*) FROM ftstable;
204 ** This function is used, along with type Fts5PhraseIter and the xPhraseNext
205 ** method, to iterate through all instances of a single query phrase within
206 ** the current row. This is the same information as is accessible via the
207 ** xInstCount/xInst APIs. While the xInstCount/xInst APIs are more convenient
208 ** to use, this API may be faster under some circumstances. To iterate
209 ** through instances of phrase iPhrase, use the following code:
211 ** Fts5PhraseIter iter;
213 ** for(pApi->xPhraseFirst(pFts, iPhrase, &iter, &iCol, &iOff);
215 ** pApi->xPhraseNext(pFts, &iter, &iCol, &iOff)
217 ** // An instance of phrase iPhrase at offset iOff of column iCol
220 ** The Fts5PhraseIter structure is defined above. Applications should not
221 ** modify this structure directly - it should only be used as shown above
222 ** with the xPhraseFirst() and xPhraseNext() API methods (and by
223 ** xPhraseFirstColumn() and xPhraseNextColumn() as illustrated below).
225 ** This API can be quite slow if used with an FTS5 table created with the
226 ** "detail=none" or "detail=column" option. If the FTS5 table is created
227 ** with either "detail=none" or "detail=column" and "content=" option
228 ** (i.e. if it is a contentless table), then this API always iterates
229 ** through an empty set (all calls to xPhraseFirst() set iCol to -1).
232 ** See xPhraseFirst above.
234 ** xPhraseFirstColumn()
235 ** This function and xPhraseNextColumn() are similar to the xPhraseFirst()
236 ** and xPhraseNext() APIs described above. The difference is that instead
237 ** of iterating through all instances of a phrase in the current row, these
238 ** APIs are used to iterate through the set of columns in the current row
239 ** that contain one or more instances of a specified phrase. For example:
241 ** Fts5PhraseIter iter;
243 ** for(pApi->xPhraseFirstColumn(pFts, iPhrase, &iter, &iCol);
245 ** pApi->xPhraseNextColumn(pFts, &iter, &iCol)
247 ** // Column iCol contains at least one instance of phrase iPhrase
250 ** This API can be quite slow if used with an FTS5 table created with the
251 ** "detail=none" option. If the FTS5 table is created with either
252 ** "detail=none" "content=" option (i.e. if it is a contentless table),
253 ** then this API always iterates through an empty set (all calls to
254 ** xPhraseFirstColumn() set iCol to -1).
256 ** The information accessed using this API and its companion
257 ** xPhraseFirstColumn() may also be obtained using xPhraseFirst/xPhraseNext
258 ** (or xInst/xInstCount). The chief advantage of this API is that it is
259 ** significantly more efficient than those alternatives when used with
260 ** "detail=column" tables.
262 ** xPhraseNextColumn()
263 ** See xPhraseFirstColumn above.

304 ** CUSTOM AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
305 *************************************************************************/
307 /*************************************************************************
310 ** Applications may also register custom tokenizer types. A tokenizer
311 ** is registered by providing fts5 with a populated instance of the
312 ** following structure. All structure methods must be defined, setting
313 ** any member of the fts5_tokenizer struct to NULL leads to undefined
314 ** behaviour. The structure methods are expected to function as follows:
317 ** This function is used to allocate and initialize a tokenizer instance.
318 ** A tokenizer instance is required to actually tokenize text.
320 ** The first argument passed to this function is a copy of the (void*)
321 ** pointer provided by the application when the fts5_tokenizer object
322 ** was registered with FTS5 (the third argument to xCreateTokenizer()).
323 ** The second and third arguments are an array of nul-terminated strings
324 ** containing the tokenizer arguments, if any, specified following the
325 ** tokenizer name as part of the CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE statement used
326 ** to create the FTS5 table.
328 ** The final argument is an output variable. If successful, (*ppOut)
329 ** should be set to point to the new tokenizer handle and SQLITE_OK
330 ** returned. If an error occurs, some value other than SQLITE_OK should
331 ** be returned. In this case, fts5 assumes that the final value of *ppOut
335 ** This function is invoked to delete a tokenizer handle previously
336 ** allocated using xCreate(). Fts5 guarantees that this function will
337 ** be invoked exactly once for each successful call to xCreate().
340 ** This function is expected to tokenize the nText byte string indicated
341 ** by argument pText. pText may or may not be nul-terminated. The first
342 ** argument passed to this function is a pointer to an Fts5Tokenizer object
343 ** returned by an earlier call to xCreate().
345 ** The second argument indicates the reason that FTS5 is requesting
346 ** tokenization of the supplied text. This is always one of the following
349 ** <ul><li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_DOCUMENT</b> - A document is being inserted into
350 ** or removed from the FTS table. The tokenizer is being invoked to
351 ** determine the set of tokens to add to (or delete from) the
354 ** <li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY</b> - A MATCH query is being executed
355 ** against the FTS index. The tokenizer is being called to tokenize
356 ** a bareword or quoted string specified as part of the query.
358 ** <li> <b>(FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY | FTS5_TOKENIZE_PREFIX)</b> - Same as
359 ** FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY, except that the bareword or quoted string is
360 ** followed by a "*" character, indicating that the last token
361 ** returned by the tokenizer will be treated as a token prefix.
363 ** <li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_AUX</b> - The tokenizer is being invoked to
364 ** satisfy an fts5_api.xTokenize() request made by an auxiliary
365 ** function. Or an fts5_api.xColumnSize() request made by the same
366 ** on a columnsize=0 database.
369 ** For each token in the input string, the supplied callback xToken() must
370 ** be invoked. The first argument to it should be a copy of the pointer
371 ** passed as the second argument to xTokenize(). The third and fourth
372 ** arguments are a pointer to a buffer containing the token text, and the
373 ** size of the token in bytes. The 4th and 5th arguments are the byte offsets
374 ** of the first byte of and first byte immediately following the text from
375 ** which the token is derived within the input.
377 ** The second argument passed to the xToken() callback ("tflags") should
378 ** normally be set to 0. The exception is if the tokenizer supports
379 ** synonyms. In this case see the discussion below for details.
381 ** FTS5 assumes the xToken() callback is invoked for each token in the
382 ** order that they occur within the input text.
384 ** If an xToken() callback returns any value other than SQLITE_OK, then
385 ** the tokenization should be abandoned and the xTokenize() method should
386 ** immediately return a copy of the xToken() return value. Or, if the
387 ** input buffer is exhausted, xTokenize() should return SQLITE_OK. Finally,
388 ** if an error occurs with the xTokenize() implementation itself, it
389 ** may abandon the tokenization and return any error code other than
390 ** SQLITE_OK or SQLITE_DONE.
394 ** Custom tokenizers may also support synonyms. Consider a case in which a
395 ** user wishes to query for a phrase such as "first place". Using the
396 ** built-in tokenizers, the FTS5 query 'first + place' will match instances
397 ** of "first place" within the document set, but not alternative forms
398 ** such as "1st place". In some applications, it would be better to match
399 ** all instances of "first place" or "1st place" regardless of which form
400 ** the user specified in the MATCH query text.
402 ** There are several ways to approach this in FTS5:
404 ** <ol><li> By mapping all synonyms to a single token. In this case, using
405 ** the above example, this means that the tokenizer returns the
406 ** same token for inputs "first" and "1st". Say that token is in
407 ** fact "first", so that when the user inserts the document "I won
408 ** 1st place" entries are added to the index for tokens "i", "won",
409 ** "first" and "place". If the user then queries for '1st + place',
410 ** the tokenizer substitutes "first" for "1st" and the query works
413 ** <li> By querying the index for all synonyms of each query term
414 ** separately. In this case, when tokenizing query text, the
415 ** tokenizer may provide multiple synonyms for a single term
416 ** within the document. FTS5 then queries the index for each
417 ** synonym individually. For example, faced with the query:
420 ** ... MATCH 'first place'</codeblock>
422 ** the tokenizer offers both "1st" and "first" as synonyms for the
423 ** first token in the MATCH query and FTS5 effectively runs a query
427 ** ... MATCH '(first OR 1st) place'</codeblock>
429 ** except that, for the purposes of auxiliary functions, the query
430 ** still appears to contain just two phrases - "(first OR 1st)"
431 ** being treated as a single phrase.
433 ** <li> By adding multiple synonyms for a single term to the FTS index.
434 ** Using this method, when tokenizing document text, the tokenizer
435 ** provides multiple synonyms for each token. So that when a
436 ** document such as "I won first place" is tokenized, entries are
437 ** added to the FTS index for "i", "won", "first", "1st" and
440 ** This way, even if the tokenizer does not provide synonyms
441 ** when tokenizing query text (it should not - to do so would be
442 ** inefficient), it doesn't matter if the user queries for
443 ** 'first + place' or '1st + place', as there are entries in the
444 ** FTS index corresponding to both forms of the first token.
447 ** Whether it is parsing document or query text, any call to xToken that
448 ** specifies a <i>tflags</i> argument with the FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED bit
449 ** is considered to supply a synonym for the previous token. For example,
450 ** when parsing the document "I won first place", a tokenizer that supports
451 ** synonyms would call xToken() 5 times, as follows:
454 ** xToken(pCtx, 0, "i", 1, 0, 1);
455 ** xToken(pCtx, 0, "won", 3, 2, 5);
456 ** xToken(pCtx, 0, "first", 5, 6, 11);
457 ** xToken(pCtx, FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED, "1st", 3, 6, 11);
458 ** xToken(pCtx, 0, "place", 5, 12, 17);
461 ** It is an error to specify the FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED flag the first time
462 ** xToken() is called. Multiple synonyms may be specified for a single token
463 ** by making multiple calls to xToken(FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED) in sequence.
464 ** There is no limit to the number of synonyms that may be provided for a
467 ** In many cases, method (1) above is the best approach. It does not add
468 ** extra data to the FTS index or require FTS5 to query for multiple terms,
469 ** so it is efficient in terms of disk space and query speed. However, it
470 ** does not support prefix queries very well. If, as suggested above, the
471 ** token "first" is substituted for "1st" by the tokenizer, then the query:
474 ** ... MATCH '1s*'</codeblock>
476 ** will not match documents that contain the token "1st" (as the tokenizer
477 ** will probably not map "1s" to any prefix of "first").
479 ** For full prefix support, method (3) may be preferred. In this case,
480 ** because the index contains entries for both "first" and "1st", prefix
481 ** queries such as 'fi*' or '1s*' will match correctly. However, because
482 ** extra entries are added to the FTS index, this method uses more space
483 ** within the database.
485 ** Method (2) offers a midpoint between (1) and (3). Using this method,
486 ** a query such as '1s*' will match documents that contain the literal
487 ** token "1st", but not "first" (assuming the tokenizer is not able to
488 ** provide synonyms for prefixes). However, a non-prefix query like '1st'
489 ** will match against "1st" and "first". This method does not require
490 ** extra disk space, as no extra entries are added to the FTS index.
491 ** On the other hand, it may require more CPU cycles to run MATCH queries,
492 ** as separate queries of the FTS index are required for each synonym.
494 ** When using methods (2) or (3), it is important that the tokenizer only
495 ** provide synonyms when tokenizing document text (method (2)) or query
496 ** text (method (3)), not both. Doing so will not cause any errors, but is
