SQLiteINFOCommonInternalofficial confidence

Internal retry signal (not user-facing)

Production Risk

None — internal only.

What this means

SQLITE_ERROR_RETRY (513) is an internal extended code used by SQLite to signal that a prepared statement should be reprepared and retried. It is not returned to application code.

Why it happens
  1. 1Schema changed between prepare and step; SQLite reprepares automatically.
How to reproduce

Internal use only — SQLite reprepares stale statements.

trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
# Not directly visible to application code
# SQLite uses this internally to trigger automatic reprepare on schema change

expected output

Not surfaced to application — SQLite handles it internally.
