There is a list of features that SQLite does *not* support at http://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html. If you find additional features that SQLite does not support, you may want to list them below. ---- *: SQL92 Character sets, collations, coercibility. *: Inserting blob using X'AABBCCDD' syntax. *: Stored Procedures *: Rollup and Cube *: INSERT INTO with multiple rows (ie. INSERT INTO table VALUES (...), (...). etc) *: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE *: ALTER VIEW, ALTER TRIGGER *: Schemas *: TRUNCATE (MySQL, Postgresql and Oracle have it... but I dont know if this is a standard command) *: ORDER BY myfield ASC NULLS LAST (Oracle) *: CREATE TRIGGER [BEFORE | AFTER | INSTEAD OF] (Oracle) *: UPDATE with a FROM clause (not sure if this is standard, Sybase and Microsoft have it). *: Multi-column IN clause (ie. SELECT * FROM tab WHERE (key1, key2) IN (SELECT...) *: CURRENT-Functions like CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME are missing *: INSERTing less values than columns does not fill the missing columns with the default values; if less values than columns in the table are supplied, all columns filled have to be named before the keyword values *: rename table command (mysql has) *: ESCAPE clause for LIKE *: DISTINCT ON (expr,...) - this is from Postgres, where expr,... must be the leftmost expressions from the ORDER BY clause *: MEDIAN and standard deviation... are they standard? Useful for sqlite standalone (for shell script users)
