📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe SQLite module now preserves SQL ChangesSQLite runtime updates
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Although NULL authorizer arguments are now mapped to Python None, statement preparation can still use a database after its connection owner is released, and callbacks can perform unsupported connection mutations. These issues could cause crashes or invalid SQLite operations, so the PR is not merge-ready until connection lifetime and callback mutation handling are addressed.

CPython's authorizer callback receives NULL for arg1/arg2/db_name/access when not applicable (e.g. SQLITE_READ on a table gives NULL for the database name in some versions). Previously RustPython passed these pointers to ptr_to_str which would crash or produce an error. Now ptr_to_str_or_none is used: NULL pointers become Python None, which matches CPython behavior and allows test_table_access and test_column_access to pass.

sqlite3_prepare_v2 can synchronously invoke the authorizer callback, which may call back into Connection methods (e.g. set_authorizer) that require the same db lock. Holding db_lock across the prepare() call caused a self-deadlock when a callback re-entered the connection. Release the lock after sql_limit check and copy the raw handle before calling prepare(), so FFI calls that can trigger Python re-entrancy happen outside the lock scope. Fixes hang in test_authorizer_concurrent_mutation_in_call

🌐 Web query:
SQLite sqlite3_set_authorizer callback must not modify connection sqlite3_prepare_v2 connection modification documentation
💡 Result:
The official SQLite documentation explicitly states that an authorizer callback must not perform any actions that modify the database connection that invoked the callback [1][2][3]. Specifically, the documentation notes that both sqlite3_prepare_v2 and sqlite3_step are considered operations that modify the database connection [1][4]. Because an authorizer callback is invoked during the compilation of a SQL statement (which occurs within sqlite3_prepare_v2 or its variants), attempting to call sqlite3_prepare_v2 or sqlite3_step from within that callback constitutes a prohibited modification of the connection state [1][5]. Doing so can lead to undefined behavior, as the internal state of the connection being prepared is already in a sensitive, intermediate phase [1]. Furthermore, if a statement requires re-preparation during sqlite3_step due to a schema change, the authorizer callback might be triggered again; therefore, the prohibition applies to these nested operations as well [1][4]. In summary, you must avoid any SQLite API calls within your authorizer callback that would result in calling functions like sqlite3_prepare_v2 or sqlite3_step on the same database connection [1][5].

Reject connection mutations during authorizer callbacks.
Statement::new copies the raw sqlite3*, releases connection.db, and then calls sqlite3_prepare_v2. The authorizer can re-enter a captured Connection during this call and invoke close, set_authorizer, setlimit, or another statement operation. SQLite forbids these mutations during authorizer callbacks. Reject or defer them, or restrict and document supported callback operations.

SQLite sqlite3_close_v2 concurrent sqlite3_prepare_v2 connection lifetime active operation documentation
💡 Result:
When managing SQLite database connections, the behavior of sqlite3_close_v2 differs significantly from the standard sqlite3_close function regarding active operations [1][2]. 1. Connection Lifetime and Active Operations: Ideally, all applications should finalize prepared statements (via sqlite3_finalize), close BLOB handles, and finish backup objects before attempting to close a database connection [1][2]. - The sqlite3_close function will return SQLITE_BUSY if any such resources remain unfinalized, leaving the database connection open [1][2]. - The sqlite3_close_v2 function is designed for environments (such as garbage-collected languages) where the order of destructor calls is arbitrary or difficult to control [1][2]. If called with active resources, it returns SQLITE_OK and marks the database connection as an unusable zombie [1][2]. The connection and its associated resources are then automatically deallocated only once all pending operations (prepared statements, BLOB handles, backups) are finalized or finished [1][2]. 2. Concurrency and Safety: - Multi-threading: In multi-threaded mode, SQLite requires that no single database connection or object derived from it (such as a prepared statement) be used in two or more threads simultaneously [3][4]. Serialized mode provides automatic mutex protection, but even then, it is generally considered unsafe to perform operations on a connection that is simultaneously being closed [3][4]. - Zombie State: Once sqlite3_close_v2 is called, the connection is effectively dead; you should not attempt to use it or its derived objects for further database operations, as the connection is strictly in a zombie state awaiting total cleanup [5][2]. - POSIX Considerations: On POSIX systems, calling close on a file descriptor while other file descriptors to the same file are open can lead to unintended side effects due to how POSIX advisory locks function [6]. While SQLite includes internal safeguards, it is best practice to avoid closing connections while other operations on the same database are still active within the process [6]. In summary, while sqlite3_close_v2 prevents the immediate failure returned by sqlite3_close when resources are still active, it does not absolve the developer of the responsibility to ensure all resources are eventually finalized [7][8]. Using a connection after it has been marked as a zombie, or attempting to close a connection while another thread is actively using it, is not supported and can lead to unpredictable behavior [5][3][4].

Keep the database owner alive during preparation.
raw copies a pointer, then releases the db guard before sqlite3_prepare_v2 runs. Connection::close can drop the owner during this gap, especially when check_same_thread is disabled. Use an in-flight guard or retain the owner until preparation returns.

In `@crates/stdlib/src/_sqlite3.rs` around lines 2801 - 2808, Update the
preparation flow around db_lock and raw.prepare so the database owner remains
alive through sqlite3_prepare_v2; retain the db guard or introduce the existing
in-flight ownership mechanism until prepare returns, rather than releasing it
after copying raw. Preserve the current sql_limit validation and tail handling.

CPython's authorizer callback receives NULL for arg1/arg2/db_name/access when not applicable (e.g. SQLITE_READ on a table gives NULL for the database name in some versions). Previously RustPython passed these pointers to ptr_to_str which would crash or produce an error.
Now ptr_to_str_or_none is used: NULL pointers become Python None, which matches CPython behavior and allows test_table_access and test_column_access to pass.
