-- SQLite uses type affinity, not strict types
-- INTEGER, TEXT, BLOB, REAL, NUMERIC

-- Use STRICT tables for type enforcement (3.37+)
CREATE TABLE users (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    balance REAL
) STRICT;

-- ROWID is automatic, INTEGER PRIMARY KEY aliases it
CREATE TABLE items (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,  -- Aliases rowid
    name TEXT
);

-- True auto-increment (no rowid reuse)
CREATE TABLE logs (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    message TEXT
);

-- JSON functions (3.38+)
CREATE TABLE events (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    data TEXT  -- Store JSON
);

-- Query JSON
SELECT json_extract(data, '$.name') FROM events;
SELECT data->>'$.name' FROM events;  -- 3.38+ shorthand

-- FTS5 for text search
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE docs_fts USING fts5(
    title, content,
    content='docs',
    content_rowid='id'
);

-- Search
SELECT * FROM docs_fts WHERE docs_fts MATCH 'search term';

-- Performance tuning
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;          -- Write-ahead logging
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;        -- Balance safety/speed
PRAGMA cache_size = -64000;         -- 64MB cache
PRAGMA temp_store = MEMORY;         -- Temp tables in memory
PRAGMA mmap_size = 268435456;       -- Memory-map 256MB

-- For read-heavy workloads
PRAGMA read_uncommitted = ON;       -- Skip locks for reads

-- Covering index (includes all query columns)
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_covering
ON orders(customer_id, status, created_at, total);

-- Partial index
CREATE INDEX idx_active_users
ON users(email) WHERE active = 1;

-- Expression index
CREATE INDEX idx_lower_email
ON users(lower(email));
