I recently found out that FTS5 extension has been released.
What is the best way to check if my application can use it on users system?
Just python3 version check, o
/ this was previously edit of the OP post, but I moved it down here to keep the question clear
so this feels like it could work, found it in the question here
import sqlite3
con = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('pragma compile_options;')
available_pragmas = cur.fetchall()
con.close()
print(available_pragmas)
if ('ENABLE_FTS5',) in available_pragmas:
print('YES')
else:
print('NO')
But what is strange is that I run it in a few virtual machines, and none had fts4 enabled, yet I used it happily like nothing... maybe its fts3/fts4 being rather the same, or maybe its just all wrong.
/edit
from the documentation
Note that enabling FTS3 also makes FTS4 available. There is not a separate SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4 compile-time option. A build of SQLite either supports both FTS3 and FTS4 or it supports neither.
