** SUMMARY
**
** Writing a transaction containing a large number of operations on 
** b-tree indexes that are collectively larger than the available cache
** memory can be very inefficient. 
**
** The problem is that in order to update a b-tree, the leaf page (at least)
** containing the entry being inserted or deleted must be modified. If the
** working set of leaves is larger than the available cache memory, then a 
** single leaf that is modified more than once as part of the transaction 
** may be loaded from or written to the persistent media multiple times.
** Additionally, because the index updates are likely to be applied in
** random order, access to pages within the database is also likely to be in 
** random order, which is itself quite inefficient.
**
** One way to improve the situation is to sort the operations on each index
** by index key before applying them to the b-tree. This leads to an IO
** pattern that resembles a single linear scan through the index b-tree,
** and all but guarantees each modified leaf page is loaded and stored 
** exactly once. SQLite uses this trick to improve the performance of
** CREATE INDEX commands. This extension allows it to be used to improve
** the performance of large transactions on existing databases.
**
** Additionally, this extension allows the work involved in writing the 
** large transaction to be broken down into sub-transactions performed 
** sequentially by separate processes. This is useful if the system cannot 
** guarantee that a single update process will run for long enough to apply 
** the entire update, for example because the update is being applied on a 
** mobile device that is frequently rebooted. Even after the writer process 
** has committed one or more sub-transactions, other database clients continue
** to read from the original database snapshot. In other words, partially 
** applied transactions are not visible to other clients. 
**
** "RBU" stands for "Resumable Bulk Update". As in a large database update
** transmitted via a wireless network to a mobile device. A transaction
** applied using this extension is hence refered to as an "RBU update".
**
**
** LIMITATIONS
**
** An "RBU update" transaction is subject to the following limitations:
**
**   * The transaction must consist of INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations
**     only.
**
**   * INSERT statements may not use any default values.
**
**   * UPDATE and DELETE statements must identify their target rows by 
**     non-NULL PRIMARY KEY values. Rows with NULL values stored in PRIMARY
**     KEY fields may not be updated or deleted. If the table being written 
**     has no PRIMARY KEY, affected rows must be identified by rowid.
**
**   * UPDATE statements may not modify PRIMARY KEY columns.
**
**   * No triggers will be fired.
**
**   * No foreign key violations are detected or reported.
**
**   * CHECK constraints are not enforced.
**
**   * No constraint handling mode except for "OR ROLLBACK" is supported.
**
**
** PREPARATION
**
** An "RBU update" is stored as a separate SQLite database. A database
** containing an RBU update is an "RBU database". For each table in the 
** target database to be updated, the RBU database should contain a table
** named "data_<target name>" containing the same set of columns as the
** target table, and one more - "rbu_control". The data_% table should 
** have no PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints, but each column should have
** the same type as the corresponding column in the target database.
** The "rbu_control" column should have no type at all. For example, if
** the target database contains:
**
**   CREATE TABLE t1(a INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, b TEXT, c UNIQUE);
**
** Then the RBU database should contain:
**
**   CREATE TABLE data_t1(a INTEGER, b TEXT, c, rbu_control);
**
** The order of the columns in the data_% table does not matter.
**
** Instead of a regular table, the RBU database may also contain virtual
** tables or view named using the data_<target> naming scheme. 
**
** Instead of the plain data_<target> naming scheme, RBU database tables 
** may also be named data<integer>_<target>, where <integer> is any sequence
** of zero or more numeric characters (0-9). This can be significant because
** tables within the RBU database are always processed in order sorted by 
** name. By judicious selection of the the <integer> portion of the names
** of the RBU tables the user can therefore control the order in which they
** are processed. This can be useful, for example, to ensure that "external
** content" FTS4 tables are updated before their underlying content tables.
**
** If the target database table is a virtual table or a table that has no
** PRIMARY KEY declaration, the data_% table must also contain a column 
** named "rbu_rowid". This column is mapped to the tables implicit primary 
** key column - "rowid". Virtual tables for which the "rowid" column does 
** not function like a primary key value cannot be updated using RBU. For 
** example, if the target db contains either of the following:
**
**   CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE x1 USING fts3(a, b);
**   CREATE TABLE x1(a, b)
**
** then the RBU database should contain:
**
**   CREATE TABLE data_x1(a, b, rbu_rowid, rbu_control);
**
** All non-hidden columns (i.e. all columns matched by "SELECT *") of the
** target table must be present in the input table. For virtual tables,
** hidden columns are optional - they are updated by RBU if present in
** the input table, or not otherwise. For example, to write to an fts4
** table with a hidden languageid column such as:
**
**   CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ft1 USING fts4(a, b, languageid='langid');
**
** Either of the following input table schemas may be used:
**
**   CREATE TABLE data_ft1(a, b, langid, rbu_rowid, rbu_control);
**   CREATE TABLE data_ft1(a, b, rbu_rowid, rbu_control);
**
** For each row to INSERT into the target database as part of the RBU 
** update, the corresponding data_% table should contain a single record
** with the "rbu_control" column set to contain integer value 0. The
** other columns should be set to the values that make up the new record 
** to insert. 
**
** If the target database table has an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, it is not 
** possible to insert a NULL value into the IPK column. Attempting to 
** do so results in an SQLITE_MISMATCH error.
**
** For each row to DELETE from the target database as part of the RBU 
** update, the corresponding data_% table should contain a single record
** with the "rbu_control" column set to contain integer value 1. The
** real primary key values of the row to delete should be stored in the
** corresponding columns of the data_% table. The values stored in the
** other columns are not used.
**
** For each row to UPDATE from the target database as part of the RBU 
** update, the corresponding data_% table should contain a single record
** with the "rbu_control" column set to contain a value of type text.
** The real primary key values identifying the row to update should be 
** stored in the corresponding columns of the data_% table row, as should
** the new values of all columns being update. The text value in the 
** "rbu_control" column must contain the same number of characters as
** there are columns in the target database table, and must consist entirely
** of 'x' and '.' characters (or in some special cases 'd' - see below). For 
** each column that is being updated, the corresponding character is set to
** 'x'. For those that remain as they are, the corresponding character of the
** rbu_control value should be set to '.'. For example, given the tables 
** above, the update statement:
**
**   UPDATE t1 SET c = 'usa' WHERE a = 4;
**
** is represented by the data_t1 row created by:
**
**   INSERT INTO data_t1(a, b, c, rbu_control) VALUES(4, NULL, 'usa', '..x');
**
** Instead of an 'x' character, characters of the rbu_control value specified
** for UPDATEs may also be set to 'd'. In this case, instead of updating the
** target table with the value stored in the corresponding data_% column, the
** user-defined SQL function "rbu_delta()" is invoked and the result stored in
** the target table column. rbu_delta() is invoked with two arguments - the
** original value currently stored in the target table column and the 
** value specified in the data_xxx table.
**
** For example, this row:
**
**   INSERT INTO data_t1(a, b, c, rbu_control) VALUES(4, NULL, 'usa', '..d');
**
** is similar to an UPDATE statement such as: 
**
**   UPDATE t1 SET c = rbu_delta(c, 'usa') WHERE a = 4;
**
** Finally, if an 'f' character appears in place of a 'd' or 's' in an 
** ota_control string, the contents of the data_xxx table column is assumed
** to be a "fossil delta" - a patch to be applied to a blob value in the
** format used by the fossil source-code management system. In this case
** the existing value within the target database table must be of type BLOB. 
** It is replaced by the result of applying the specified fossil delta to
** itself.
**
** If the target database table is a virtual table or a table with no PRIMARY
** KEY, the rbu_control value should not include a character corresponding 
** to the rbu_rowid value. For example, this:
**
**   INSERT INTO data_ft1(a, b, rbu_rowid, rbu_control) 
**       VALUES(NULL, 'usa', 12, '.x');
**
** causes a result similar to:
**
**   UPDATE ft1 SET b = 'usa' WHERE rowid = 12;
**
** The data_xxx tables themselves should have no PRIMARY KEY declarations.
** However, RBU is more efficient if reading the rows in from each data_xxx
** table in "rowid" order is roughly the same as reading them sorted by
** the PRIMARY KEY of the corresponding target database table. In other 
** words, rows should be sorted using the destination table PRIMARY KEY 
** fields before they are inserted into the data_xxx tables.
**
** USAGE
**
** The API declared below allows an application to apply an RBU update 
** stored on disk to an existing target database. Essentially, the 
** application:
**
**     1) Opens an RBU handle using the sqlite3rbu_open() function.
**
**     2) Registers any required virtual table modules with the database
**        handle returned by sqlite3rbu_db(). Also, if required, register
**        the rbu_delta() implementation.
**
**     3) Calls the sqlite3rbu_step() function one or more times on
**        the new handle. Each call to sqlite3rbu_step() performs a single
**        b-tree operation, so thousands of calls may be required to apply 
**        a complete update.
**
**     4) Calls sqlite3rbu_close() to close the RBU update handle. If
**        sqlite3rbu_step() has been called enough times to completely
**        apply the update to the target database, then the RBU database
**        is marked as fully applied. Otherwise, the state of the RBU 
**        update application is saved in the RBU database for later 
**        resumption.
**
** See comments below for more detail on APIs.
**
** If an update is only partially applied to the target database by the
** time sqlite3rbu_close() is called, various state information is saved 
** within the RBU database. This allows subsequent processes to automatically
** resume the RBU update from where it left off.
**
** To remove all RBU extension state information, returning an RBU database 
** to its original contents, it is sufficient to drop all tables that begin
** with the prefix "rbu_"
**
** DATABASE LOCKING
**
** An RBU update may not be applied to a database in WAL mode. Attempting
** to do so is an error (SQLITE_ERROR).
**
** While an RBU handle is open, a SHARED lock may be held on the target
** database file. This means it is possible for other clients to read the
** database, but not to write it.
**
** If an RBU update is started and then suspended before it is completed,
** then an external client writes to the database, then attempting to resume
** the suspended RBU update is also an error (SQLITE_BUSY).

** database URI, not a regular file name.
**
** If the zState argument is passed a NULL value, the RBU extension stores 
** the current state of the update (how many rows have been updated, which 
** indexes are yet to be updated etc.) within the RBU database itself. This
** can be convenient, as it means that the RBU application does not need to
** organize removing a separate state file after the update is concluded. 
** Or, if zState is non-NULL, it must be a path to a database file in which 
** the RBU extension can store the state of the update.
**
** When resuming an RBU update, the zState argument must be passed the same
** value as when the RBU update was started.
**
