This can cause problems when - you use the ``select`` parameter for the ``extra()`` QuerySet method. The bug - can be identified by the error message ``OperationalError: ORDER BY terms - must not be non-integer constants``. - -* A bug when handling `aggregation`_ together with DateFields and - DecimalFields. - -.. _handling: http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1768 -.. _aggregation: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10031 - -SQLite 3.3.6 was released in April 2006, so most current binary distributions -for different platforms include newer version of SQLite usable from Python -through either the ``pysqlite2`` or the ``sqlite3`` modules. - -Version 3.5.9 -------------- - -The Ubuntu "Intrepid Ibex" (8.10) SQLite 3.5.9-3 package contains a bug that -causes problems with the evaluation of query expressions. If you are using -Ubuntu "Intrepid Ibex", you will need to update the package to version -3.5.9-3ubuntu1 or newer (recommended) or find an alternate source for SQLite -packages, or install SQLite from source. - -At one time, Debian Lenny shipped with the same malfunctioning SQLite 3.5.9-3 -package. However the Debian project has subsequently issued updated versions -of the SQLite package that correct these bugs. If you find you are getting -unexpected results under Debian, ensure you have updated your SQLite package -to 3.5.9-5 or later. - -The problem does not appear to exist with other versions of SQLite packaged -with other operating systems. - -Version 3.6.2 --------------- - -SQLite version 3.6.2 (released August 30, 2008) introduced a bug into ``SELECT -DISTINCT`` handling that is triggered by, among other things, Django's -``DateQuerySet`` (returned by the ``dates()`` method on a queryset). - -You should avoid using this version of SQLite with Django. Either upgrade to -3.6.3 (released September 22, 2008) or later, or downgrade to an earlier -version of SQLite. - .. _using-newer-versions-of-pysqlite: Using newer versions of the SQLite DB-API 2.0 driver
