Crate rsqlite

This library is a zero-overhead, ergonamic wrapper over sqlite C api.

// creates a database file 'dbfile.db' if it does not exists.
let database = Database::open("dbfile.db")?;

// executes the query and creates a 'user' table
database.execute(r#"
   create table if not exists user (
      id integer primary key autoincrement not null,
      age int,
      name text,
      weight real
   );"#, ())?;

// inserts a new user record.
// binds the fields to '?' .
// note that only these types are allowed for bindings:
//     int32, i64, f64, &str, &[u8]
// use `&[u8]` to store blob data.
database.execute(
   "insert into user(age, name, weight) values(?, ?, ?)",
   (29, "amin", 69.5)
)?;
let name = String::from("negar");
database.execute(
   "insert into user(age, name, weight) values(?, ?, ?)",
   (26, name.as_str(), 61.0)
)?;


// slects from user table on a condition ( age > 27 ),
// and executes the closure for each row returned.
database.for_each(
    "select name, age, weight from user where age > ?", (27),
    |name: String, age: i32, weight: f64| {
        dbg!(name, age, weight);
    }
)?;

// selects the count(*) from user table
// you can extract a single culumn single row result to:
// i32, i64, f64, String, Box<[u8]>
let count: i32 = database.collect("select count(*) from user", ())?;

// you can also extract single row with multiple columns
let amin: (i32, String, f64) = database.collect(
    "select age, name, weight from user where name = ?", ("amin")
)?;

// this also works, the returned value will be automatically converted to String
let str_count: String = database.collect("select count(*) from user", ())?;

Additional flags

You can pass additional open flags to SQLite:

[dependencies]
sqlite3-sys = "*"

use rsqlite::{ffi, Database};

let flags = ffi::SQLITE_READONLY;
let database = Database::open_with_flags("dbfile.db", flags)?;

// now you can only read from the database
let n: i32 = database.collect(
    "select a from table where something >= ?", (1))?;

Prepared Statements

It is possible to retain and reuse statments, this will keep the query plan and might increase the performance significantly if the statement is reused.

let mut statement = database.prepare("select age from user where age > ?")?;
// Database methods are simply implemented in terms of statements.
statement.for_each((27), |age: i32| {
    dbg!(age);
})?;

let age: i32 = database.prepare("select count(*) from user where age > ? limit 1")?
                       .collect((200))?;

NULL values

If you have NULLABLE columes, you can use Option<T> to pass and collect the values.

// use `None` to insert NULL values
database.execute("insert into user(name, age) values (?,?)", (None::<&str>, 20))?;

// use Option<T> to collect them back
let (name, age) : (Option<String>, i32) =
                      database.collect("select name, age from user limit 1", ())?;
assert!((name, age) == (None, 20));

// an empty result set, would also be treated as None
let name : Option<String> = database.collect("select name from user where age = ?", (200))?;
assert!(name == None);

Type conversions

implsit type convertions in sqlite follow this table: for example, if you collect a NULL column as i32, you'll get 0.

Internal Type	Requested Type	Conversion
NULL	i32/i64	Result is 0
NULL	f64	Result is 0.0
NULL	String	Result is empty String::new()
NULL	Box<u8>	Result is empty Box::new([])
INTEGER	f64	Convert from integer to f64
INTEGER	String	ASCII rendering of the integer
INTEGER	Box<u8>	Same as INTEGER->String
FLOAT	i32/i64	CAST to INTEGER
FLOAT	String	ASCII rendering of the float
FLOAT	Box<u8>	CAST to u8
TEXT	i32/i64	CAST to i32/i64
TEXT	f64	CAST to f64
TEXT	Box<u8>	No change
BLOB	i32/i64	CAST to i32/i64
BLOB	f64	CAST to f64
BLOB	String	No change

Transactions

You can use transactions with begin, commit and rollback commands.

database.execute("begin", ())?;    // begin a transaction ...
let mut statement = database.prepare("insert into user(name, age) values (?, ?)")?;
// insert 10 users using a prepared statement
for age in 0..10 {
  let name = format!("user-{}", age);
  statement.execute((name.as_str(), age))?;
}
database.execute("commit", ())?;   // commit all the changes

database.execute("begin", ())?;    // begin another transaction ...
database.execute("delete from user where age > ?", (3))?;
database.execute("rollback", ())?; // cancel this transaction

let sum_age : i32 = database.collect("select sum(age) from user", ())?;
assert!(sum_age == 45);

Blob

Use &[u8] to store and Box<[u8]> to retrive blob data.

database.execute("create table user (name TEXT, numbers BLOB)", ())?;

let numbers = vec![1, 1, 2, 3, 5];
database.execute("insert into user values (?, ?)", ("amin", numbers.as_slice()))?;
let stored_numbers : Box<[u8]> =
         database.collect("select numbers from user where name = ?", ("amin"))?;
assert!(numbers.as_slice() == stored_numbers.as_ref());
