Include every row tied for the highest score
SQLite: Compare with MAX rather than limiting to an arbitrary number of rows.
SQLite✓ Tested
Include missing values in a not-equal filter
SQLite: Ordinary inequality does not include NULL; explicitly include it when that is the intended rule.
SQLite✓ Tested
Include zero counts for missing relationships
SQLite: Count the non-null child key after a left join so a missing relationship produces zero.
SQLite✓ Tested
Increment a stored value in the database
SQLite: An in-database arithmetic update avoids a separate application read-modify-write step.
SQLite✓ Tested
Insert only keys absent from a destination
SQLite: NOT EXISTS supports a set-based missing-row insert in a single-writer example.
SQLite✓ Tested
Join a parent to pre-aggregated totals
SQLite: Aggregate the child rows first to produce at most one joined row per parent.
SQLite✓ Tested
Join related rows from two tables
SQLite: Match a category key to its display label with an explicit join condition.
SQLite✓ Tested
Join through a lookup table
SQLite: Use explicit aliases and join keys when enriching records through two relationships.
SQLite✓ Tested
Join values with a delimiter
Concatenate rows in a specified order.
group_concat✓ Tested
Keep children while clearing a deleted relationship
SQLite: ON DELETE SET NULL requires a nullable foreign-key column.
SQLite✓ Tested
Keep parent rows while filtering joined children
SQLite: Put a child filter in ON when unmatched parents must remain in the result.
SQLite✓ Tested
Keep rows matching a condition
SQLite: Use WHERE to select rows with a particular category.
