Mingshilu web edition — mingshilu-web-e1

SQLite databases for a static browser client that reads them over HTTP range requests. There is no loader script: the files are meant to be range-read, not downloaded whole.

Edition: mingshilu-web-e1 · date: 2026-09-04

Files

file	bytes	what it holds
text.sqlite3	96,833,536	entry and the contentless FTS5 index over it
ents.sqlite3	100,052,992	entity_link, link_candidate, and the person and office authority tables
meta.sqlite3	16,756,736	entry_meta, reign, pack_meta
one.sqlite3	196,882,432	the text and entity tables in one file

one.sqlite3 duplicates the content of text.sqlite3 and ents.sqlite3. It exists so a client can mount one file instead of two; do not fetch both.

Per-file SHA-256 digests and row counts are in manifest.json.

Reading these files

Every file has page_size = 4096 and is not in WAL mode, so a client can serve 4 KiB pages straight out of range responses. Pin a commit revision rather than a branch:

Notes

• Counts are recomputed per edition; do not carry numbers across editions.
• The FTS index is char-spaced, so a query must space its terms.
• cbdb_id values and entity_link.authority = 'cbdb' are authority identifiers used to join the entity tables.
