This document lists the steps needed to upgrade the sources in this repository with the latest revision from upstream.
The upgrade takes place on aosp-main. The primary directory is below.
external/sqlite
The upgrade steps are:
external/sqlite in the workspace.UPDATE-SOURCE.bash. This script is executable. The arguments are the sqlite release year and the version. Invoke the script without arguments for an example.UPDATE-SOURCE.bash may fail if the Android patch cannot be applied cleanly. If this happens, correct the patch failures by hand and rebuild the Android patch file. Use the script REBUILD-ANDROID-PATCH.bash to rebuild the patch file. This script takes the same arguments as UPDATE-SOURCE.bash. Then rerun UPDATE-SOURCE.bash. It is important that UPDATE-SOURCE.bash run without errors.
Once the scripts have completed, there will be a directory containing the new source files. The directory is named after the sqlite release and exists in parallel with other sqlite release directories. For release 3.42.0, the directory name is external/sqlite/dist/sqlite-autoconf-3420000.
The release of sqlite can be controlled by trunk-stable build flags. The flag is RELEASE_PACKAGE_LIBSQLITE3. The value of that flag is the 7-digit sqlite release number (e.g., 3420000). Any target that respects trunk-stable flags will use the source in external/sqlite/dist/sqlite-autoconf-FLAG. Not all targets respect the trunk-stable flags, however. Such targets use the directory external/sqlite/dist/sqlite-default.
A new release of sqlite can be promoted to trunk by setting the flag to the proper release string.
A release of sqlite is promoted to next by setting the flag to the release string AND by copying the associated release directory to sqlite-default. This moves all targets that do not honor build flags to use the newly promoted release.

There is a CTS test that verifies the SQLite version. This must be updated as well and it must be updated within aosp-main at the same time as the source.
cts/tests/tests/database/src/android/database/sqlite/cts/SQLiteDatabaseTest.java
Update the following two constants (the values below are for SQLite 3.42.0).
static final String EXPECTED_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION = "3.42"; static final int EXPECTED_MIN_PATCH_LEVEL = 0;
frameworks/base/core/java/android/database/sqlite/package.html
This is a documentation file that, among other things, maps SQLite versions to Android API levels. It should be updated every time SQLite is upgraded and on every Android API bump. There is a small problem with API names: Android usually prefers not to publicize the new API level until it is official, so care must be taken not to expose unofficial API levels through this file.
The current plan for modifying this file when SQLite is upgraded is to add a new row, using “latest” as the API level. The file should also be updated appropriately when a new API level is formally announced.
This file probably should be modified in an Android branch (not AOSP). That way it enters public view with the official release process.
The following tests are recommended before committing an update:
CtsScopedStorageDeviceOnlyTest CtsScopedStorageBypassDatabaseOperationsTest CtsScopedStorageGeneralTest CtsScopedStorageRedactUriTest CtsDatabaseTestCases FrameworksCoreTests:android.database
At the time of writing, there are no test failures in the baseline code.
