sqlite3 driver conforming to the built-in database/sql interface

Installation

This package can be installed with the go get command:

go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

go-sqlite3 is cgo package. If you want to build your app using go-sqlite3, you need gcc. However, after you have built and installed go-sqlite3 with go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 (which requires gcc), you can build your app without relying on gcc in future.

FAQ

• Want to build go-sqlite3 with libsqlite3 on my linux.

  Use go build --tags "libsqlite3 linux"

• Want to build go-sqlite3 with libsqlite3 on OS X.

  Install sqlite3 from homebrew: brew install sqlite3

  Use go build --tags "libsqlite3 darwin"

• Want to build go-sqlite3 with icu extension.

  Use go build --tags "icu"

  Available extensions: json1, fts5, icu

• Can't build go-sqlite3 on windows 64bit.

  Probably, you are using go 1.0, go1.0 has a problem when it comes to compiling/linking on windows 64bit. See: #27

• Getting insert error while query is opened.

  You can pass some arguments into the connection string, for example, a URI. See: #39

• Do you want to cross compile? mingw on Linux or Mac?

  See: #106 See also: http://www.limitlessfx.com/cross-compile-golang-app-for-windows-from-linux.html

• Want to get time.Time with current locale

  Use _loc=auto in SQLite3 filename schema like file:foo.db?_loc=auto.

• Can I use this in multiple routines concurrently?

  Yes for readonly. But, No for writable. See #50, #51, #209, #274.

• Why is it racy if I use a sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:") database?

  Each connection to :memory: opens a brand new in-memory sql database, so if the stdlib's sql engine happens to open another connection and you've only specified ":memory:", that connection will see a brand new database. A workaround is to use "file::memory:?mode=memory&cache=shared". Every connection to this string will point to the same in-memory database. See #204 for more info.
