• MemoryError is now raised instead of sqlite3.Warning when memory is not enough for encoding statement to UTF-8 in Connection.__call__() and Cursor.execute().
• UnicodEncodeError is now raised instead of sqlite3.Warning when statement contains surrogate characters in Connection.__call__() and Cursor.execute().
• TypeError is now raised instead of ValueError for non-string script in Cursor.execute().
• ValueError is now raised for script containing NUL instead of truncating it in Cursor.execute().
• Correctly handled exceptions raised when getting boolean value of the result of the progress handler to bool.

Also added many tests which cover different exceptional cases.

There is also a problem with the sqlite3.InterfaceError raised when bind parameters with message "Error binding parameter XXX - probably unsupported type." It is raised not only for unsupported types, but:

• For too large integers (outside of the range of signed 64-bit integers).
• For too large strings and blobs with size <= INT_MAX but larger than the SQLite limit (1_000_000_000 by default). But OverflowError is raised for size >= INT_MAX.
• When memory error or any other error occurred inside SQLite.

Entries 3 and 4 are about Cursor.executescript(), not Cursor.execute().

• sqlite3.ProgrammingError is raised for SQLITE_MISUSE. IMO, sqlite3.InterfaceError, is more appropriate.
• In case of too large integer values, OverflowError is raised on bind, but sqlite3.DataError is raised on UDF return. Using sqlite3.DataError in both cases would be more aligned with PEP-249.
• Too long strings/blobs raise OverflowError. Consider raising sqlite3.DataError instead.
• For non-contiguous (blob) buffers, we overwrite the BufferError with ValueError. Instead of overwriting BufferError, we should consider chaining with sqlite3.DataError.
• Consider raising sqlite3.Warning when nan is implicitly converted to NULL by SQLite
• In pysqlite_statement_create(), consider raising sqlite3.ProgrammingError iso. sqlite3.Warning when more than one statement is executed
• In pysqlite_statement_create(), consider raising sqlite3.DataError iso. ValueError for queries with null characters

[erlend-aasland]

Also, for SQLite 3.7.17 and above, we should raise sqlite3.Warning for error codes SQLITE_NOTICE and SQLITE_WARNING.

Er, forget that. Neither are returned by any SQLite C interface, at the moment. They can (currently) only be used as the first argument to sqlite3_log().
