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.

API Reference

API documentation can be found here: http://godoc.org/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

Examples can be found under the examples directory

Features

This package allows additional configuration of features available within SQLite3 to be enabled or disabled by golang build constraints also known as build tags.

Click here for more information about build tags / constraints.

Extension	Build Tag	Description
Additional Statistics	stat4	This option adds additional logic to the ANALYZE command and to the query planner that can help SQLite to chose a better query plan under certain situations. The ANALYZE command is enhanced to collect histogram data from all columns of every index and store that data in the sqlite_stat4 table. The query planner will then use the histogram data to help it make better index choices. The downside of this compile-time option is that it violates the query planner stability guarantee making it more difficult to ensure consistent performance in mass-produced applications. SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4 is an enhancement of SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3. STAT3 only recorded histogram data for the left-most column of each index whereas the STAT4 enhancement records histogram data from all columns of each index. The SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3 compile-time option is a no-op and is ignored if the SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4 compile-time option is used
Allow URI Authority	allow_uri_authority	URI filenames normally throws an error if the authority section is not either empty or "localhost". However, if SQLite is compiled with the SQLITE_ALLOW_URI_AUTHORITY compile-time option, then the URI is converted into a Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) filename and passed down to the underlying operating system that way
App Armor	app_armor	When defined, this C-preprocessor macro activates extra code that attempts to detect misuse of the SQLite API, such as passing in NULL pointers to required parameters or using objects after they have been destroyed. App Armor is not available under Windows.
Disable Load Extensions	sqlite_omit_load_extension	Loading of external extensions is enabled by default. To disable extension loading add the build tag sqlite_omit_load_extension.
Foreign Keys	foreign_keys	This macro determines whether enforcement of foreign key constraints is enabled or disabled by default for new database connections. Each database connection can always turn enforcement of foreign key constraints on and off and run-time using the foreign_keys pragma. Enforcement of foreign key constraints is normally off by default, but if this compile-time parameter is set to 1, enforcement of foreign key constraints will be on by default
Full Auto Vacuum	vacuum_full	Set the default auto vacuum to full
Incremental Auto Vacuum	vacuum_incr	Set the default auto vacuum to incremental
Full Text Search Engine	fts5	When this option is defined in the amalgamation, versions 5 of the full-text search engine (fts5) is added to the build automatically
International Components for Unicode	icu	This option causes the International Components for Unicode or "ICU" extension to SQLite to be added to the build
Introspect PRAGMAS	introspect	This option adds some extra PRAGMA statements. PRAGMA function_list PRAGMA module_list PRAGMA pragma_list
JSON SQL Functions	json1	When this option is defined in the amalgamation, the JSON SQL functions are added to the build automatically
Secure Delete	secure_delete	This compile-time option changes the default setting of the secure_delete pragma. When this option is not used, secure_delete defaults to off. When this option is present, secure_delete defaults to on. The secure_delete setting causes deleted content to be overwritten with zeros. There is a small performance penalty since additional I/O must occur. On the other hand, secure_delete can prevent fragments of sensitive information from lingering in unused parts of the database file after it has been deleted. See the documentation on the secure_delete pragma for additional information

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 additional extensions / features.

  Use go build --tags "<FEATURE>"

  When using multiple build tags, all the different tags should be space delimted.

  For available features / extensions see Features.

  Example building multiple features: go build --tags "icu json1 fts5 secure_delete"

• 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.
