<a href="../c3ref/intro.html"><h2>SQLite C Interface</h2></a>
<h2>Identify and handle IN constraints in xBestIndex</h2>
</div>
<blockquote><pre>
int sqlite3_vtab_in(sqlite3_index_info*, int iCons, int bHandle);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This interface may only be used from within an
<a href="../vtab.html#xbestindex">xBestIndex() method</a> of a <a href="../vtab.html">virtual table</a> implementation.
The result of invoking this interface from any other context is
undefined and probably harmful.</p>
<p>A constraint on a virtual table of the form
"<a href="../lang_expr.html#in_op">column IN (...)</a>" is
communicated to the xBestIndex method as a
<a href="../c3ref/c_index_constraint_eq.html">SQLITE_INDEX_CONSTRAINT_EQ</a> constraint. If xBestIndex wants to use
this constraint, it must set the corresponding
aConstraintUsage[].argvIndex to a positive integer. Then, under
the usual mode of handling IN operators, SQLite generates <a href="../opcode.html">bytecode</a>
that invokes the <a href="../vtab.html#xfilter">xFilter() method</a> once for each value
on the right-hand side of the IN operator. Thus the virtual table
only sees a single value from the right-hand side of the IN operator
at a time.</p>
<p>In some cases, however, it would be advantageous for the virtual
table to see all values on the right-hand of the IN operator all at
once. The sqlite3_vtab_in() interfaces facilitates this in two ways:</p>
<p><ol>
<li><p>
A call to sqlite3_vtab_in(P,N,-1) will return true (non-zero)
if and only if the <a href="../c3ref/index_info.html">P->aConstraint</a>[N] constraint
is an <a href="../lang_expr.html#in_op">IN operator</a> that can be processed all at once. In other words,
sqlite3_vtab_in() with -1 in the third argument is a mechanism
by which the virtual table can ask SQLite if all-at-once processing
of the IN operator is even possible.</p>
<p><li><p>
A call to sqlite3_vtab_in(P,N,F) with F==1 or F==0 indicates
to SQLite that the virtual table does or does not want to process
the IN operator all-at-once, respectively. Thus when the third
parameter (F) is non-negative, this interface is the mechanism by
which the virtual table tells SQLite how it wants to process the
IN operator.
</ol></p>
<p>The sqlite3_vtab_in(P,N,F) interface can be invoked multiple times
within the same xBestIndex method call. For any given P,N pair,
the return value from sqlite3_vtab_in(P,N,F) will always be the same
within the same xBestIndex call. If the interface returns true
(non-zero), that means that the constraint is an IN operator
that can be processed all-at-once. If the constraint is not an IN
operator or cannot be processed all-at-once, then the interface returns
false.</p>
<p>All-at-once processing of the IN operator is selected if both of the
following conditions are met:</p>
<p><ol>
<li><p> The P->aConstraintUsage[N].argvIndex value is set to a positive
integer. This is how the virtual table tells SQLite that it wants to
use the N-th constraint.</p>
<p><li><p> The last call to sqlite3_vtab_in(P,N,F) for which F was
non-negative had F>=1.
</ol></p>
<p>If either or both of the conditions above are false, then SQLite uses
the traditional one-at-a-time processing strategy for the IN constraint.
If both conditions are true, then the argvIndex-th parameter to the
xFilter method will be an <a href="../c3ref/value.html">sqlite3_value</a> that appears to be NULL,
but which can be passed to <a href="../c3ref/vtab_in_first.html">sqlite3_vtab_in_first()</a> and
<a href="../c3ref/vtab_in_first.html">sqlite3_vtab_in_next()</a> to find all values on the right-hand side
of the IN constraint.
