7.Sh SYNOPSIS
8.In sqlite3.h
9.Ft int
10.Fo sqlite3changegroup_add
11.Fa "sqlite3_changegroup*"
12.Fa "int nData"

15.Sh DESCRIPTION
16Add all changes within the changeset (or patchset) in buffer pData
17(size nData bytes) to the changegroup.
18.Pp
19If the buffer contains a patchset, then all prior calls to this function
20on the same changegroup object must also have specified patchsets.
21Or, if the buffer contains a changeset, so must have the earlier calls
22to this function.
23Otherwise, SQLITE_ERROR is returned and no changes are added to the
24changegroup.
25.Pp
26Rows within the changeset and changegroup are identified by the values
27in their PRIMARY KEY columns.
28A change in the changeset is considered to apply to the same row as
29a change already present in the changegroup if the two rows have the
30same primary key.
31.Pp
32Changes to rows that do not already appear in the changegroup are simply
33copied into it.
34Or, if both the new changeset and the changegroup contain changes that
35apply to a single row, the final contents of the changegroup depends
36on the type of each change, as follows:
37.Pp
38  Existing Change New Change Output Change
39  INSERT  INSERT   The new change is ignored.
40This case does not occur if the new changeset was recorded immediately
41after the changesets already added to the changegroup.
42  INSERT  UPDATE   The INSERT change remains in the changegroup.
43The values in the INSERT change are modified as if the row was inserted
44by the existing change and then updated according to the new change.
45  INSERT  DELETE   The existing INSERT is removed from the changegroup.
46The DELETE is not added.
47  UPDATE  INSERT   The new change is ignored.
48This case does not occur if the new changeset was recorded immediately
49after the changesets already added to the changegroup.
50  UPDATE  UPDATE   The existing UPDATE remains within the changegroup.
51It is amended so that the accompanying values are as if the row was
52updated once by the existing change and then again by the new change.
53  UPDATE  DELETE   The existing UPDATE is replaced by the new DELETE within
54the changegroup.
55  DELETE  INSERT   If one or more of the column values in the row inserted
56by the new change differ from those in the row deleted by the existing
57change, the existing DELETE is replaced by an UPDATE within the changegroup.
58Otherwise, if the inserted row is exactly the same as the deleted row,
59the existing DELETE is simply discarded.
60  DELETE  UPDATE   The new change is ignored.
61This case does not occur if the new changeset was recorded immediately
62after the changesets already added to the changegroup.
63  DELETE  DELETE   The new change is ignored.
64This case does not occur if the new changeset was recorded immediately
65after the changesets already added to the changegroup.
66.Pp
67If the new changeset contains changes to a table that is already present
68in the changegroup, then the number of columns and the position of
69the primary key columns for the table must be consistent.
70If this is not the case, this function fails with SQLITE_SCHEMA.
71Except, if the changegroup object has been configured with a database
72schema using the sqlite3changegroup_schema() API, then it is possible
73to combine changesets with different numbers of columns for a single
74table, provided that they are otherwise compatible.
75.Pp
76If the input changeset appears to be corrupt and the corruption is
77detected, SQLITE_CORRUPT is returned.
78Or, if an out-of-memory condition occurs during processing, this function
79returns SQLITE_NOMEM.
80.Pp
81In all cases, if an error occurs the state of the final contents of
82the changegroup is undefined.
83If no error occurs, SQLITE_OK is returned.
