SQLite has very few functions compared to other DBMS. SQLite authors see this as a feature rather than a bug, because SQLite has extension mechanism in place.

There are a lot of SQLite extensions out there, but they are incomplete, inconsistent and scattered across the internet.

SQLite Plus brings them all together, neatly packaged by domain modules and built for Linux, Windows and macOS.

Here is what we've got right now:

• re: regular expressions
• stats: common statistical functions
• vsv: CSV files as virtual tables
• unicode: Unicode string functions

There are precompiled binaries for every OS:

• *.dll - for Windows
• *.so - for Linux
• *.dylib - for macOS

CLI usage:

sqlite> .load sqlite3-stats;
sqlite> select median(value) from generate_series(1, 100);

IDE usage:

select load_extension('/path/to/extension/sqlite3-stats');
select median(value) from generate_series(1, 100);

In-app usage:

import sqlite3

connection = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
connection.enable_load_extension(True)
connection.load_extension("./sqlite3-stats.so")
connection.execute("select median(value) from generate_series(1, 100)")
connection.close()

You can specify any other supported extension instead of sqlite3-stats.
