This fixes silent SELECT data loss in the React Native SQLite adapter by decoding every supported op-sqlite result carrier without confusing row data for envelope metadata. Malformed or unknown result envelopes fail with a configuration error, while persisted rows, registry identity, and stream position remain intact across restart.

Reviewer guidance

Root cause

OpSQLiteDriver understood direct row arrays and rows-style wrappers, but op-sqlite can return either { rawRows, columnNames, rowsAffected } or { rows, columnNames, rowsAffected }. The old extraction path did not reconstruct raw columnar rows, while the first strict decoder treated normal Node/web execute() metadata as a malformed partial columnar result.

Approach

  • Decode raw columnar rows by zipping each rawRows entry with columnNames, preserving column order, aliases, row order, values, and multiplicity.
  • Accept normal op-sqlite object rows when columnNames metadata is co-present.
  • Keep direct row arrays, supported row-list carriers, write-result envelopes, and exactly one supported results wrapper distinct at the outer result boundary.
  • Preserve legal duplicate SQL column names with the same last-value object rule used by op-sqlite's object-row conversion.
  • Reject missing or conflicting carriers, row-width mismatches, unsupported wrapper depth (including cycles), and all other malformed or unknown envelopes with InvalidPersistedCollectionConfigError.

Key invariants

  • Unknown SELECT shapes never become an empty result.
  • SQL aliases such as rows, rawRows, and rowsAffected remain ordinary row data, including non-scalar values when ordinary row fields disambiguate the result.
  • Object and single-statement-array write envelopes normalize symmetrically.
  • A restart reuses the single registry mapping and preserves the exact durable stream position and rows.
  • Oracle cleanup preserves the primary failure and reports cleanup failures separately, including construction failures.

Non-goals and trade-offs

  • The decoder supports the published op-sqlite carriers and rejects deeper or genuinely ambiguous envelopes instead of guessing.
  • The better-sqlite3 fixture establishes adapter behavior with real SQLite semantics and exact published Node/web carrier shapes, but does not claim native iOS/Android bridge coverage; versioned native-device receipts remain a separate verification cell.
  • null and undefined execute results remain errors. Restoring their former silent-empty behavior would recreate the data-loss false-green this PR removes.
  • This PR does not integrate or depend on fix: preserve offline runtime correctness across replay and restart #1837. That PR was considered as evidence only and is outside this branch's ancestry and scope.

Verification

pnpm --filter @tanstack/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence test -- --maxWorkers=2
pnpm --filter @tanstack/db-sqlite-persistence-core test -- --maxWorkers=2
TANSTACK_DB_OP_SQLITE_ORACLE_SEED=165903 TANSTACK_DB_OP_SQLITE_ORACLE_PATH=0:0:0 TANSTACK_DB_OP_SQLITE_ORACLE_RUNS=1 pnpm exec vitest --run packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/op-sqlite-driver.test.ts --maxWorkers=2 -t "preserves generated legal SQL aliases"
pnpm --filter @tanstack/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence build
pnpm --filter @tanstack/db-sqlite-persistence-core build

Verified locally with 122/122 React Native persistence tests passing, including exact RED→GREEN witnesses for published Node/web rows plus metadata, non-scalar carrier aliases, duplicate-column self-joins, write-envelope symmetry, and construction cleanup. The package build and declaration generation, formatting, lint, staged-file checks, and diff checks also pass.

Files changed

  • packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/src/op-sqlite-driver.ts — strictly classifies and decodes supported op-sqlite result envelopes.
  • packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/helpers/op-sqlite-test-db.ts — models both raw columnar and published Node/web object-row results.
  • packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/op-sqlite-driver.test.ts — adds fixed witnesses, generated alias histories, malformed-envelope controls, replay, exact result-carrier checks, and cleanup assertions.
  • packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/react-native-persistence.test.ts — verifies pre-populated registry reuse and exact row/stream restoration after close and reopen.
  • packages/db-sqlite-persistence-core/tests/contracts/sqlite-driver-contract.ts — adds exact write-then-read and reserved-alias laws across shared drivers.
  • .changeset/fix-op-sqlite-result-decoding.md — records the React Native persistence patch.

Fixes #1499

Part of #1659

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved SQLite result handling to preserve rows, column order, aliases, write-result fields, and insert IDs accurately.
    • Added support for columnar query results and nested result envelopes.
    • Added validation for malformed, ambiguous, unsupported, or unknown result formats.
    • Preserved persisted data and stream positions across database close-and-reopen cycles.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The driver now decodes op-sqlite columnar executeAsync results, validates result envelopes, and rejects malformed shapes. Tests cover exact rows, aliases, cleanup errors, shared driver contracts, and persistence after restart.

Changes

Op-SQLite result decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validated result decoding
packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/src/op-sqlite-driver.ts, .changeset/fix-op-sqlite-result-decoding.md
The driver decodes rawRows with columnNames, validates result carriers, rejects malformed or unsupported envelopes, and records a patch release.
Columnar fixtures and driver contracts
packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/helpers/op-sqlite-test-db.ts, packages/db-sqlite-persistence-core/tests/contracts/sqlite-driver-contract.ts
Test databases expose columnar executeAsync results. Contract tests verify exact rows, aliases, cleanup failures, and transaction argument validation.
Op-SQLite decoding validation tests
packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/op-sqlite-driver.test.ts
Tests cover reordered rows, reserved aliases, empty results, malformed envelopes, nested wrappers, property-based checks, cleanup errors, and the shared columnar driver contract.
Restart persistence verification
packages/react-native-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/react-native-persistence.test.ts
The restart test verifies collection registry data, stream position, cleanup handling, and row recovery after reopening with columnar executeAsync results.

Preserve the result mode when decoding query arrays.

extractRowsFromExecuteResult classifies { rowsAffected: 17, rows: ['nested'] } as a statement envelope. It then returns ['nested'] instead of the original row.

Direct row arrays and genuine statement-result arrays can both come from execute. Preserve an explicit result mode, or another authoritative execution contract, so the decoder does not infer the mode from reserved aliases alone. The method name alone is insufficient when one method supports both shapes.
