Go "memdb" SQLite VFS

This package implements the "memdb" SQLite VFS in pure Go.

It has some benefits over the C version:

• the memory backing the database needs not be contiguous,
• the database can grow/shrink incrementally without copying,
• reader-writer concurrency is slightly improved.

Overview

Package memdb implements the "memdb" SQLite VFS.

The "memdb" vfs.VFS allows the same in-memory database to be shared among multiple database connections in the same process, as long as the database name begins with "/".

Importing package memdb registers the VFS.

import _ "github.com/ianatha/go-sqlite3/vfs/memdb"

Example

package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	_ "embed"

	_ "github.com/ianatha/go-sqlite3/driver"
	_ "github.com/ianatha/go-sqlite3/embed"
	"github.com/ianatha/go-sqlite3/vfs/memdb"
)

//go:embed testdata/test.db
var testDB []byte

func main() {
	memdb.Create("test.db", testDB)

	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", "file:/test.db?vfs=memdb")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer db.Close()

	_, err = db.Exec(`INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (3, 'rust')`)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	rows, err := db.Query(`SELECT id, name FROM users`)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer rows.Close()

	for rows.Next() {
		var id, name string
		err = rows.Scan(&id, &name)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", id, name)
	}
}

Output:

0 go

2 whatever

Functions

func Create

func Create(name string, data []byte)

Create creates a shared memory database, using data as its initial contents. The new database takes ownership of data, and the caller should not use data after this call.

func Delete

func Delete(name string)

Delete deletes a shared memory database.
