Module vtab 

Create virtual tables.

To create a virtual table, define the virtual table module and then register it on each connection it will be used from. The sqlite3_ext_vtab macro is used to define the virtual table module. It can be registered using Connection::create_module.

There are 3 base types of virtual tables:

• StandardModule is a virtual table which is created using the CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE command.
• EponymousModule is a virtual table which is available ambiently in the database connection without being explicitly created.
• EponymousOnlyModule is similar to EponymousModule, but CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE is explicitly forbidden for these modules.

In addition to the base type of virtual table, there are several traits which can be implemented to add behavior.

• VTab is required to be implemented by all virtual tables.
• CreateVTab indicates that the table supports CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE.
• UpdateVTab indicates that the table supports INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.
• TransactionVTab indicates that the table supports ROLLBACK.
• FindFunctionVTab indicates that the table overrides certain SQL functions when they operate on the table.
• RenameVTab indicates that the table supports ALTER TABLE RENAME TO.
