Why SQLite v3.51.3 instead of v3.52.0

From the SQLite team:

Some important issues have been found with version 3.52.0. In order to give us time to deal with those issues, we plan to withdraw the 3.52.0 release. In its place, we will put up a new 3.51.3 patch release that includes a fix for the recently discovered WAL-reset bug as well as other patches. This will happen probably within about the next twelve hours.

Hence, if you were planning to upgrade to 3.52.0 tomorrow (Friday, 2026-03-14), perhaps it would be better to wait a day or so for 3.51.3.

At some point we will do version 3.52.1 which will hopefully resolve the issues that have arisen with the 3.52.0 release.

7.0.0

Breaking changes

• Replaced the Integer library with native BigInts
• Removed the db.checkpoint() method in favor of db.pragma('wal_checkpoint(RESTART)')
• Removed the "memory" option when opening databases in favor of SQLite3's ":memory:" filename convention

Non-breaking changes

• Added support for worker threads (see an example here)
• Added support for Jest environments
• Fixed many issues related to users building packaged executables, including:
  • FATAL ERROR: v8::ToLocalChecked Empty MaybeLocal
  • FATAL ERROR: v8::Object::GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField()
  • Error: Cannot find module '...\node_modules\integer\node
  • Various electron-related issues

• Removed SQLITE_USE_URI
• The "verbose" option now logs SQL passed to db.exec() in statement-by-statement fashion, rather than all at once (to match the behavior of using prepared statements)
• Added "unsafe mode" which allows advanced users to do dangerous things at their own risk:
  • allows users to mutate the database while iterating through a query, which has non-deterministic behavior
  • disables SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE which allows users to corrupt their database file and execute undefined behavior

6.0.0

Breaking changes

• Enabled SQLITE_LIKE_DOESNT_MATCH_BLOBS.
• Enabled SQLITE_DQS=0.

Non-breaking changes

• Updated SQLite to version 3.31.1.
• Fixed many installation bugs.
• Added support for prebuilt binaries.
  • Prebuilt binaries are available for this version, and will be available for all subsequent versions. The binaries are built by prebuild whenever a new release tag is made in github, via a travis CI workflow. As you can see in the travis config file, prebuild currently builds binaries for Node 8, 10, and 12, and Electron 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Non-LTS node versions are not supported, but compiling better-sqlite3 from source should still work fine for those versions, as it always had. Prebuilt binaries are only made for Linux and Mac OSX, not Windows (but again, building from source should work fine on Windows too).

5.4.0

• Added support for online backups via the db.backup() method.
• Added verbose mode, which allows you to log all SQL executed by a database connection.
• You can now execute read-only SQL while retrieving data via stmt.iterate().
  • Previously, you would get a "database connection is busy" error.
  • This allows you to perform nested calls to stmt.iterate().
• Removed the SQLITE_OMIT_TRACE compilation option.
• Enabled the SQLITE_TRACE_SIZE_LIMIT=32 compilation option.

5.2.0

• Updated SQLite to version 3.26.0.
• Added the Statement#raw() and Statement#columns() methods.
• Enabled SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE .

5.0.0

This major version provides powerful new features, bug fixes, improved performance, and much much more.

Breaking changes

• Dropped support for Node.js versions < 8.
• Renamed info.lastInsertROWID to info.lastInsertRowid (docs).
• Renamed stmt.returnsData to stmt.reader (docs).
• The db.pragma() method now accepts { simple: true } instead of a true boolean (docs).
• Redesigned the db.transaction() method:
  • Transaction objects have been removed.
  • The db.transaction() method now takes a function and returns a function (a wrapper).
  • The returned function will automatically run inside a transaction.
  • Nested transactions (savepoints) are supported.
  • Read the full documentation here.
• Removed the db.register() method, added the db.function() and db.aggregate() methods:
  • The db.function() method is used to register regular user-defined functions.
  • The db.aggregate() method is used to register user-defined aggregate functions.
  • The APIs for both methods have been changed from the old db.register() method. Read the new documentation here and here, respectively.
  • The db.aggregate() method can also register window functions.
• Enabled the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS compilation option (more info).
• When opening a database, the memory and readonly options are now mutually exclusive (docs).
• Moved all documentation from the wiki to the repository itself (here).
  • Documentation for the (deprecated) version v4.x.x can be found here.

Non-breaking new features

• SQLite3 was upgraded to version 3.25.2.
• Enabled the following compilation options:
  • SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4 (more info)
  • SQLITE_INTROSPECTION_PRAGMAS (more info)
  • SQLITE_SOUNDEX (more info)
  • SQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT (more info)
• Users can now compile better-sqlite3 against their own customized version of SQLite3:
  • Read the instructions here.
  • This also enables support for sqleet, SQLCipher, and other drop-in replacements for SQLite3.
• If the process exits gracefully (i.e., the event loop has no more work to do), all open databases will automatically be closed. This does not happen for forced exits (i.e., process.exit(), SIGINT, etc.).
• Added the timeout option when opening a database (docs).
• Added support for anonymous in-memory databases, using the ":memory:" filename (more info).
• Added the stmt.expand() method, which namespaces result columns by table name (docs).

Bug fixes and other minor improvements

• Fixed a bug that caused v8::ToLocalChecked Empty.
• Fixed a bug that caused db.inTransaction to be true when the database was closed.
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from including trailing whitespace in prepared statements.
• Fixed many v8 deprecation warnings.
• Fixed many installation-related bugs.
• Improved performance of user-defined aggregate functions by ~15%.
• Added many other (minor) performance optimizations.

4.2.0

This is (probably) the last release of v4.x.x. Any documentation needed for this version can be found here. If possible, users should upgrade to version 5.0.0.

4.1.2

• The build system was completely overhauled, hopefully fixing many installation bugs
• SQLite was upgraded to version 3.24.0

4.1.1

A bug was fixed that was making it difficult for many Windows users to install the package.

4.0.1

• Replaced the Statement#each() method with the new (and much more powerful) Statement#iterate() method.
• Support for Node.js versions below 6.0.0 have been dropped.

3.3.0

SQLite3 extensions are now supported. See the docs to learn how to use them.

3.2.0

The database constructor now supports the fileMustExist option.

3.1.0

Added the db.inTransaction getter, allowing you to check if the database connection is currently in an open transaction.

3.0.3

The bundled sqlite3 engine has been upgraded to version 3.19.3.

3.0.0

This major version provides some powerful new features, introduces a better API for some functions, and comes with many small performance enhancements.

Breaking changes

• readonly mode has been reimplemented to use sqlite's engine-level readonly mode, instead of being implemented at the library level.
• Database#pragma() has been reworked to return proper result types (instead of just strings), and now works properly with readonly mode.
• Database#checkpoint() has been completely reworked. It now accepts different arguments and has a different return value. By default, it now checkpoints all attached databases instead of just the main database. To learn how to use it, click here.
• The Database.Int64 class has been replaced by Database.Integer which is a reference to the self-contained integer package. Database.Integer has a very different API from the old Database.Int64, and provides many powerful features and utilities. Read about it here.
• All boolean options (like new Database(options.readonly) or statement.pluck(newState)) must be boolean if provided. Previously, they used the truthiness of whatever was provided, but now the provided value must either be true, false, or omitted. An error will be thrown if a non-boolean value is provided.

Non-breaking new features

• The bundled sqlite3 engine has been upgraded to version 3.19.2.
• When an sqlite3-related error is thrown, it will be an SqliteError, which is a subclass of Error, and has a code property that corresponds to a result code.
  • This allows you to do checks like if (err.code === 'SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_UNIQUE')
  • The SqliteError class is available at Database.SqliteError
• Database#register() now accepts generator functions, which registers a custom aggregate SQL function. To learn how to use them, read here.

Bug fixes and other minor improvements

• The nan package dependency has been removed, slightly improving performance.
• When more than 4294967295 rows are returned by Statement#all(), an error is thrown instead of corrupting the results returned from the database (this is the maximum array.length in nodejs).
• You can now use a combination of multiple prefixes ($foo, :foo, @foo) when creating a statement or transaction with named parameters. Previously this would result in errors being thrown.
• The Statement#bind() and Transaction#bind() methods can now be used even if the query was previously executed.
• The performance of binding named parameters has been significantly improved.
• Many other minor performance enhancements.

Expected issues

The installation process has been completely rewritten, so I expect there to be installation issues when using Windows and/or Electron. If an issue like this comes up, please open an issue and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

2.3.3

fa3624e..0985983 improved performance of binding named parameters 0215d67, 03713e2 improved error messages when binding parameters 77ea5b1, f700521, d898405, 1d4c786 improved general performance

2.3.1

85612bf Minor performance optimization for Statement#each() c7b5d38 Significant performance optimization for Statement#all()

2.3.0

This release fixes a few minor bugs, significantly improves overall performance, and introduces the db.register() method, which allows you to define custom SQL functions.

0d4e336 added the db.register() method, allowing you to register custom SQL functions f3daddb prepared statements and transactions can now be reused even after the table schema changes 6fff040 pluck() and safeIntegers() can no longer be invoked within an each() callback function

2.2.0

2.0.0

5041cd8 updated copyright year 9588787 defaultSafeIntegers() now has the same semantics as safeIntegers() 59af62a removed event emitter from database prototype 0faf7a4 databases now open and close synchronously, instead requiring developers to use the event emitter interface

1.4.0

852df57 added electron support

1.3.9

7dc4add Merge pull request #10 from bengotow/bengotow/ia32-support f9969da fix support for ia32 on Windows

1.3.6

29e04d6 added support for microsoft windows

1.3.1

3779fc9 read-only statements that do not return data can now be executed with .run()

This removes the .readonly property and introduces the .returnsData property as its replacement. Statements are no longer semantically segregated based on whether they modify data, but rather whether they return data. There are two major reasons for this:

• It makes more sense to .prepare('BEGIN;').run() than to .prepare('BEGIN;').get()
• Both CREATE TABLE foo (bar) and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS foo (bar) should use the same execution method (.run())

1.2.1

ab3e15d fixed inconsistent parameter binding logic 5a73a4e greatly improved string performance

1.1.3

5a019b7 fixed minor bug with binding parameters
