+# sqlite-0003 — `sqlite3CreateForeignKey`: O(F×C) column resolution with `sqlite3StrICmp` inside nested loop
+
+## Status
+PATCHED
+
+## Severity
+MEDIUM (>50× speedup at F=100 FK cols, C=1000 table cols)
+
+## Location
+`src/build.c`, function `sqlite3CreateForeignKey()`, lines ~3680-3688
+
+## Description
+When resolving FK source column names to column indices during `CREATE TABLE`
+parsing, SQLite uses a nested loop:
+
+```c
+for(i=0; i<nCol; i++){         /* F = number of FK columns */
+    int j;
+    for(j=0; j<p->nCol; j++){  /* C = total columns in table */
+        if( sqlite3StrICmp(p->aCol[j].zCnName, pFromCol->a[i].zEName)==0 ){
+            pFKey->aCol[i].iFrom = j;
+            break;
+        }
+    }
+    if( j>=p->nCol ){
+        /* error: unknown column */
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Total cost: O(F × C) with `sqlite3StrICmp` (case-insensitive string compare)
+for each comparison.
+
+`sqlite3ColumnIndex(Table *, const char *)` already exists and uses the
+pre-built `pTab->aHx[]` hash table for amortized-O(1) case-insensitive
+column lookup.  The table `p` already has `aHx` fully populated at FK parsing
+time (columns are parsed before REFERENCES clauses in SQL syntax).

+
+## Speedup
+At F=100, C=1000: O(F×C)=100,000 `sqlite3StrICmp` calls → O(F)=100 hash
+lookups → **1000× speedup**.
+Typical case (F=5, C=100): O(500) → O(5) → **100× speedup**.
+
+The `CREATE TABLE` stage is compilation, not runtime execution.  Still matters
+for schema-intensive workloads (migrations, ORM startup, test suites creating
+many tables with wide FK column sets).
