sqlite-mumu 0.1.2

SQLITE-MUMU sqlite-mumu is a SQLite plugin for the mumu runtime. It exposes a compact API to open a database, run parameterized SQL, stream results through mumu’s iterator pipeline, and close the connection.

TL;DR

• Build: make (or: cargo build --release)
• Install (Linux): sudo make install → copies to /usr/local/lib/libmumusqlite.so and runs ldconfig
• Load in mumu: extend("sqlite")
• Use: sqlite:open(...), sqlite:query(...), sqlite:close(...)

1. INSTALLATION

Prerequisites

• Rust (stable)
• A working C toolchain (to build a cdylib)
• SQLite via rusqlite (pulled in as a Cargo dependency)

Build Option A: with Makefile make

Option B: with Cargo cargo build --release

Artifacts (target/release):

• Linux: libmumusqlite.so
• macOS: libmumusqlite.dylib
• Windows: mumusqlite.dll

Install (Linux) sudo make install This copies target/release/libmumusqlite.so to /usr/local/lib/ and runs ldconfig.

If you prefer a custom location, copy the built library there and ensure your loader can find it (see search order below).

---

1. LOADING THE PLUGIN

In a mumu script or the REPL: extend("sqlite")

The loader looks for a library named:

• Linux: libmumusqlite.so
• macOS: libmumusqlite.dylib
• Windows: mumusqlite.dll

Search order (first match wins):

1. ./libmumusqlite.{so|dylib|dll}
2. ./sqlite/libmumusqlite.{so|dylib|dll}
3. /usr/local/lib/libmumusqlite.{so|dylib|dll}

When loaded, the plugin registers these functions in mumu:

• sqlite:open
• sqlite:query
• sqlite:close

1. API

3.1 sqlite:open Open (or create) a SQLite database and return a numeric connection handle.

Call handle = sqlite:open([path: ":memory:"]) handle = sqlite:open([path: "example.db"])

Arguments

• A keyed array (map). At minimum: path: String, a file path or ":memory:".

Return

• Int connection handle. Store this and pass it to sqlite:query and sqlite:close (keys: handle or db or conn).

Notes

• Connections are tracked internally and protected with a mutex.
• Additional options may be added in future; see source for details.

3.2 sqlite:query Run SQL (optionally parameterized) using an existing connection.

Minimal result = sqlite:query([db: handle, sql: "select 1 as x"])

With parameters result = sqlite:query([ handle: handle, sql: "insert into users(name, active) values (?, ?)", params: ["Ada", true] ])

Arguments (keyed array)

• handle or db or conn: Int connection handle (from sqlite:open)
• sql: String (or a single-element StrArray)
• params (optional): one of the following shapes • IntArray → binds each element as integer • FloatArray → binds each element as real • StrArray → binds each element as text • BoolArray → binds each element as integer (true→1, false→0) • MixedArray → element-wise mapping: Int → integer Long → integer Float → real SingleString → text StrArray(len=1) → text (the only element) Bool → integer (1/0) Placeholder → NULL any other → NULL • Placeholder → means “no parameters” (equivalent to omitting params)

Return

• For SELECT, PRAGMA, or WITH (classification is a lowercase prefix check after trimming): Returns an InkIterator over rows (see section 5).
• For all other statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DDL): Returns Int = number of rows changed.

3.3 sqlite:close Close a previously opened connection.

Call ok = sqlite:close([db: handle])

Arguments

• A keyed array with handle or db or conn.

Return

• Bool(true) on success.
• Error if the handle is not known.

1. EXAMPLES

4.1 Create table, insert, select

extend("sqlite")

db = sqlite:open([path: ":memory:"])

_ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "create table users(id integer primary key, name text, active integer)"])

_ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "insert into users(name, active) values (?, ?)", params: ["Ada", 1]]) _ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "insert into users(name, active) values (?, ?)", params: ["Bob", 0]]) _ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "insert into users(name, active) values (?, ?)", params: ["Cyd", 1]])

rows = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "select id, name, active from users order by id"])

slog(rows) ; prints each row as it is iterated (REPL-friendly)

_ = sqlite:close([db: db])

4.2 Parameterized updates

count = sqlite:query([ db: db, sql: "update users set active = ? where name = ?", params: [0, "Ada"] ]) slog(count) ; prints rows changed

4.3 NULLs and booleans

_ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "insert into flags(val) values (?)", params: [true]]) ; binds 1

_ = sqlite:query([db: db, sql: "insert into maybe_vals(v) values (?)", params: [_]]) ; binds NULL

; Reminder: using params: _ (a lone placeholder) means “no parameters”, not “one NULL”.

1. RESULT SHAPES AND TYPE MAPPING

Row-producing statements (SELECT, PRAGMA, WITH) return an InkIterator of rows. Each row is a keyed array keyed by the column names reported by SQLite.

Example row shape { id: 1, name: "Ada", active: 1 }

SQLite type → mumu Value mapping

• NULL → Placeholder (_)
• INTEGER → Long (i64)
• REAL → Float (f64)
• TEXT → SingleString
• BLOB → SingleString("[BLOB]") (sentinel string)

Because results are an InkIterator, they compose nicely with slog and other iterator-aware utilities in mumu.

---

1. BEHAVIOR DETAILS

Statement classification

• The plugin trims and lowercases the SQL and treats it as row-producing if it starts with “select”, “pragma”, or “with”. Otherwise it returns a changed-row count.

Parameter conversion

• See sqlite:query parameters above. MixedArray and Placeholder inside arrays are supported; a lone Placeholder as params means “no parameters”.

Verbose logging

• If the mumu interpreter is in verbose mode, the plugin emits diagnostic lines (for example, showing rows as they are buffered for iteration).

Thread-safety

• Connections are stored as Arc<Mutex> and locked per call.

Column names

• Taken directly from rusqlite’s column metadata.

1. TROUBLESHOOTING

Message: sqlite:query expects a keyed array argument

• Ensure the call shape is a keyed array: [db: handle, sql: "..."].

Message: sqlite:query: 'handle' (or 'db' or 'conn') missing or not int

• Pass the integer handle returned by sqlite:open.

Message: sqlite:query: invalid handle

• The handle is unknown (already closed or was never opened).

Message: sqlite:query: prepare error / rows error / row error / execute error

• The underlying operation failed. Check your SQL and parameters.

BLOB values appear as “[BLOB]”

• This is a sentinel string in this version. If you need text, transform in SQL (e.g., hex(blob_col)).

Loader can’t find the library

• Verify the search order and filename. On Linux, copying to /usr/local/lib and running ldconfig is often sufficient.
