# async-sqlite
[](https://crates.io/crates/async-sqlite)
[](https://docs.rs/async-sqlite)
A library to interact with sqlite from an async context.
This library is tested on both [tokio](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/)
and [smol](https://docs.rs/smol/latest/smol/), however
it should be compatible with all async runtimes.
## Install
Add `async-sqlite` to your "dependencies" in your Cargo.toml file.
This can be done by running the command:
```
cargo add async-sqlite
```
## Usage
A `Client` represents a single background sqlite3 connection that can be called
concurrently from any thread in your program.
To create a sqlite client and run a query:
```rust
use async_sqlite::{ClientBuilder, JournalMode};
let client = ClientBuilder::new()
.path("/path/to/db.sqlite3")
.journal_mode(JournalMode::Wal)
.open()
.await?;
}).await?;
println!("Value is: {value}");
```
Async operations that are queued and then canceled before the worker starts
them are skipped. `ClientBuilder::queue_capacity()` and
`PoolBuilder::queue_capacity()` can be used to bound worker queues; operations
return `Error::QueueFull` when the selected queue is full.
A `Pool` represents a collection of background sqlite3 connections that can be
called concurrently from any thread in your program.
`PoolBuilder::new().open()` and `path(":memory:")` use a single anonymous
in-memory connection by default, since separate SQLite `:memory:` connections
do not share schema or data. File-backed pools default to the logical CPU
count. For multiple connections to a named in-memory database, use
`shared_memory("name")`; this uses SQLite shared-cache mode, which has caveats,
so prefer a file-backed database when possible.
To create a sqlite pool and run a query:
```rust
use async_sqlite::{JournalMode, PoolBuilder};
let pool = PoolBuilder::new()
.path("/path/to/db.sqlite3")
.journal_mode(JournalMode::Wal)
.open()
.await?;
}).await?;
println!("Value is: {value}");
```
## Cargo Features
This library tries to export almost all features that the underlying
[rusqlite](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/latest/rusqlite/) library contains.
A notable difference is that the `bundled` feature is **enabled** by default
alongside rusqlite's `cache` and `ffi-sqlite-wasm-rs` defaults. These defaults
can be disabled with the following line in your Cargo.toml:
```toml
async-sqlite = { version = "*", default-features = false }
```
