sqlite-utils 4.1.1 fixes transaction edge case, enhances docs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The latest release of sqlite-utils, version 4.1.1, addresses an edge case related to foreign key constraints and transactions, preventing accidental data modification. This update also enhances documentation by cross-referencing CLI commands with their Python API equivalents. Earlier versions, 4.1 and 4.0, introduced new features such as executing Python code directly for data insertion, overriding column types, dropping indexes, and querying SQL from standard input, with some of these enhancements being inspired by AI models like GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable.
