-SQLite supports several advanced features facilitating the development of structured, reusable, and loosely coupled SQL code, including parameterized queries, common table expressions (CTEs), recursive CTEs, and the JSON library. The [Metadata and Reflection][] section provides basic and more advanced SQL queries for retrieving database- and engine-related metadata, illustrating the use of simple CTEs for structuring SQL code. The [Design Patterns][] section discusses all these mentioned features in detail. It also provides possible approaches to compensating for the missing support for variables and limited support for string operations, illustrating the utility of these features. Finally, the [Materialized Paths][] applies discussed ideas to a sample implementation of a hierarchical category system in SQL. This section explores the possibility of developing an OOP-like SQL source code library implementing all typical operations for such a system in SQL.
