[New-bugs-announce] [issue28985] sqlite3 authorizer codes constants not up to date

[Dingyuan Wang]

New submission from Dingyuan Wang:

We have the sqlite3.set_authorizer function, where the first argument to its callback is one of the Authorizer Action Codes that the SQLite documentations defines[1]. However, the constants in the sqlite3 module is not up to date. The code in _sqlite/module.c haven't been updated since June, 2006.

According to the SQLite Changelog[2] and digging through the history,

* 2006-08-12 (3.3.7) added SQLITE_CREATE_VTABLE, SQLITE_DROP_VTABLE
* 2006-10-09 (3.3.8) added SQLITE_FUNCTION
* 2009-01-12 (3.6.8) added SQLITE_SAVEPOINT
* 2014-02-03 (3.8.3) added SQLITE_RECURSIVE

The constants above should be present in the module. The documentation[3] says, "All necessary constants are available in the sqlite3 module."
