# SQLite > Stability: 1.2 - Release candidate. The `node:sqlite` module facilitates working with SQLite databases. To access it: ```mjs import sqlite from 'node:sqlite'; ``` ```cjs const sqlite = require('node:sqlite'); ``` This module is only available under the `node:` scheme. SQL trace events can be observed via the [`diagnostics_channel`][] module. See [`'sqlite.db.query'`][] for details. The following example shows the basic usage of the `node:sqlite` module to open an in-memory database, write data to the database, and then read the data back. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); // Execute SQL statements from strings. database.exec(` CREATE TABLE data( key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT ) STRICT `); // Create a prepared statement to insert data into the database. const insert = database.prepare('INSERT INTO data (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)'); // Execute the prepared statement with bound values. insert.run(1, 'hello'); insert.run(2, 'world'); // Finalize the prepared statement once it is no longer needed. insert.close(); // Create a prepared statement to read data from the database. const query = database.prepare('SELECT * FROM data ORDER BY key'); // Execute the prepared statement and log the result set. console.log(query.all()); // Prints: [ { key: 1, value: 'hello' }, { key: 2, value: 'world' } ] query.close(); ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); // Execute SQL statements from strings. database.exec(` CREATE TABLE data( key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT ) STRICT `); // Create a prepared statement to insert data into the database. const insert = database.prepare('INSERT INTO data (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)'); // Execute the prepared statement with bound values. insert.run(1, 'hello'); insert.run(2, 'world'); // Finalize the prepared statement once it is no longer needed. insert.close(); // Create a prepared statement to read data from the database. const query = database.prepare('SELECT * FROM data ORDER BY key'); // Execute the prepared statement and log the result set. console.log(query.all()); // Prints: [ { key: 1, value: 'hello' }, { key: 2, value: 'world' } ] query.close(); ``` ## Type conversion between JavaScript and SQLite When Node.js writes to or reads from SQLite, it is necessary to convert between JavaScript data types and SQLite's [data types][]. Because JavaScript supports more data types than SQLite, only a subset of JavaScript types are supported. Attempting to write an unsupported data type to SQLite will result in an exception. | Storage class | JavaScript to SQLite | SQLite to JavaScript | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | `NULL` | {null} | {null} | | `INTEGER` | {number}, {bigint}, or {boolean} | {number} or {bigint} _(configurable)_ | | `REAL` | {number} | {number} | | `TEXT` | {string} | {string} | | `BLOB` | {TypedArray}, {DataView}, {ArrayBuffer}, or {SharedArrayBuffer} | {Uint8Array} | Booleans are written as the `INTEGER` values `1` and `0`. Like any other `INTEGER` value, they are read back as {number} by default, or as {bigint} values (`1n` and `0n`) when reading BigInts is enabled. Writing a {bigint} that does not fit in a signed 64-bit integer throws an `ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE` error. APIs that read values from SQLite have a configuration option that determines whether `INTEGER` values are converted to `number` or `bigint` in JavaScript, such as the `readBigInts` option for statements and the `useBigIntArguments` option for user-defined functions. If Node.js reads an `INTEGER` value from SQLite that is outside the JavaScript [safe integer][] range, and the option to read BigInts is not enabled, then an `ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE` error will be thrown. ## Class: `DatabaseSync` This class represents a single [connection][] to a SQLite database. All APIs exposed by this class execute synchronously. ### `new DatabaseSync(path[, options])` * `path` {string | Buffer | URL} The path of the database. A SQLite database can be stored in a file or completely [in memory][]. To use a file-backed database, the path should be a file path. To use an in-memory database, the path should be the special name `':memory:'`. * `options` {Object} Configuration options for the database connection. The following options are supported: * `open` {boolean} If `true`, the database is opened by the constructor. When this value is `false`, the database must be opened via the `open()` method. **Default:** `true`. * `readOnly` {boolean} If `true`, the database is opened in read-only mode. If the database does not exist, opening it will fail. **Default:** `false`. * `enableForeignKeyConstraints` {boolean} If `true`, foreign key constraints are enabled. This is recommended but can be disabled for compatibility with legacy database schemas. The enforcement of foreign key constraints can be enabled and disabled after opening the database using [`PRAGMA foreign_keys`][]. **Default:** `true`. * `enableDoubleQuotedStringLiterals` {boolean} If `true`, SQLite will accept [double-quoted string literals][]. This is not recommended but can be enabled for compatibility with legacy database schemas. **Default:** `false`. * `allowExtension` {boolean} If `true`, the `loadExtension` SQL function and the `loadExtension()` method are enabled. You can call `enableLoadExtension(false)` later to disable this feature. **Default:** `false`. * `timeout` {number} The [busy timeout][] in milliseconds. This is the maximum amount of time that SQLite will wait for a database lock to be released before returning an error. **Default:** `0`. * `readBigInts` {boolean} If `true`, integer fields are read as JavaScript `BigInt` values. If `false`, integer fields are read as JavaScript numbers. **Default:** `false`. * `returnArrays` {boolean} If `true`, query results are returned as arrays instead of objects. **Default:** `false`. * `allowBareNamedParameters` {boolean} If `true`, allows binding named parameters without the prefix character (e.g., `foo` instead of `:foo`). **Default:** `true`. * `allowUnknownNamedParameters` {boolean} If `true`, unknown named parameters are ignored when binding. If `false`, an exception is thrown for unknown named parameters. **Default:** `false`. * `defensive` {boolean} If `true`, enables the defensive flag. When the defensive flag is enabled, language features that allow ordinary SQL to deliberately corrupt the database file are disabled. The defensive flag can also be set using `enableDefensive()`. **Default:** `true`. * `limits` {Object} Configuration for various SQLite limits. These limits can be used to prevent excessive resource consumption when handling potentially malicious input. See [Run-Time Limits][] and [Limit Constants][] in the SQLite documentation for details. Default values are determined by SQLite's compile-time defaults and may vary depending on how SQLite was built. The following properties are supported: * `length` {number} Maximum length of a string or BLOB. * `sqlLength` {number} Maximum length of an SQL statement. * `column` {number} Maximum number of columns. * `exprDepth` {number} Maximum depth of an expression tree. * `compoundSelect` {number} Maximum number of terms in a compound SELECT. * `vdbeOp` {number} Maximum number of VDBE instructions. * `functionArg` {number} Maximum number of function arguments. * `attach` {number} Maximum number of attached databases. * `likePatternLength` {number} Maximum length of a LIKE pattern. * `variableNumber` {number} Maximum number of SQL variables. * `triggerDepth` {number} Maximum trigger recursion depth. Constructs a new `DatabaseSync` instance. ### `database.aggregate(name, options)` Registers a new aggregate function with the SQLite database. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_create_window_function()`][]. * `name` {string} The name of the SQLite function to create. * `options` {Object} Function configuration settings. * `deterministic` {boolean} If `true`, the [`SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC`][] flag is set on the created function. **Default:** `false`. * `directOnly` {boolean} If `true`, the [`SQLITE_DIRECTONLY`][] flag is set on the created function. **Default:** `false`. * `useBigIntArguments` {boolean} If `true`, integer arguments to `options.step` and `options.inverse` are converted to `BigInt`s. If `false`, integer arguments are passed as JavaScript numbers. **Default:** `false`. * `varargs` {boolean} If `true`, `options.step` and `options.inverse` may be invoked with any number of arguments (between zero and [`SQLITE_MAX_FUNCTION_ARG`][]). If `false`, `inverse` and `step` must be invoked with exactly `length` arguments. **Default:** `false`. * `start` {number | string | null | Array | Object | Function} The identity value for the aggregation function. This value is used when the aggregation function is initialized. When a {Function} is passed the identity will be its return value. * `step` {Function} The function to call for each row in the aggregation. The function receives the current state and the row value. The return value of this function should be the new state. * `result` {Function} The function to call to get the result of the aggregation. The function receives the final state and should return the result of the aggregation. * `inverse` {Function} When this function is provided, the `aggregate` method will work as a window function. The function receives the current state and the dropped row value. The return value of this function should be the new state. When used as a window function, the `result` function will be called multiple times. ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); db.exec(` CREATE TABLE t3(x, y); INSERT INTO t3 VALUES ('a', 4), ('b', 5), ('c', 3), ('d', 8), ('e', 1); `); db.aggregate('sumint', { start: 0, step: (acc, value) => acc + value, }); using query = db.prepare('SELECT sumint(y) as total FROM t3'); query.get(); // { total: 21 } ``` ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); db.exec(` CREATE TABLE t3(x, y); INSERT INTO t3 VALUES ('a', 4), ('b', 5), ('c', 3), ('d', 8), ('e', 1); `); db.aggregate('sumint', { start: 0, step: (acc, value) => acc + value, }); using query = db.prepare('SELECT sumint(y) as total FROM t3'); query.get(); // { total: 21 } ``` ### `database.close()` Closes the database connection. An exception is thrown if the database is not open. An [`ERR_INVALID_STATE`][] error is thrown if the method is called while a statement is executing, such as inside a user-defined function, an aggregate function, an authorizer callback, or a [`'sqlite.db.query'`][] subscriber. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_close_v2()`][]. ### `database.loadExtension(path[, entryPoint])` * `path` {string} The path to the shared library to load. * `entryPoint` {string} The name of the extension's entry-point function. When omitted, SQLite derives the entry point from the shared library's filename; pass this argument explicitly when the derived name does not match. Loads a shared library into the database connection. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_load_extension()`][]. It is required to enable the `allowExtension` option when constructing the `DatabaseSync` instance. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:', { allowExtension: true }); // Load using the entry point derived from the filename. database.loadExtension('./decimal.dylib'); // Override the entry point when the derived name does not match. database.loadExtension('./base64.dylib', 'sqlite3_base64_init'); ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:', { allowExtension: true }); // Load using the entry point derived from the filename. database.loadExtension('./decimal.dylib'); // Override the entry point when the derived name does not match. database.loadExtension('./base64.dylib', 'sqlite3_base64_init'); ``` ### `database.enableLoadExtension(allow)` * `allow` {boolean} Whether to allow loading extensions. Enables or disables the `loadExtension` SQL function, and the `loadExtension()` method. When `allowExtension` is `false` when constructing, you cannot enable loading extensions for security reasons. ### `database.enableDefensive(active)` * `active` {boolean} Whether to set the defensive flag. Enables or disables the defensive flag. When the defensive flag is active, language features that allow ordinary SQL to deliberately corrupt the database file are disabled. See [`SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE`][] in the SQLite documentation for details. ### `database.location([dbName])` * `dbName` {string} Name of the database. This can be `'main'` (the default primary database) or any other database that has been added with [`ATTACH DATABASE`][] **Default:** `'main'`. * Returns: {string | null} The location of the database file. When using an in-memory database, this method returns null. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_db_filename()`][] ### `database.exec(sql)` * `sql` {string} A SQL string to execute. This method allows one or more SQL statements to be executed without returning any results. This method is useful when executing SQL statements read from a file. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_exec()`][]. ### `database.function(name[, options], fn)` * `name` {string} The name of the SQLite function to create. * `options` {Object} Optional configuration settings for the function. The following properties are supported: * `deterministic` {boolean} If `true`, the [`SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC`][] flag is set on the created function. **Default:** `false`. * `directOnly` {boolean} If `true`, the [`SQLITE_DIRECTONLY`][] flag is set on the created function. **Default:** `false`. * `useBigIntArguments` {boolean} If `true`, integer arguments to `function` are converted to `BigInt`s. If `false`, integer arguments are passed as JavaScript numbers. **Default:** `false`. * `varargs` {boolean} If `true`, `function` may be invoked with any number of arguments (between zero and [`SQLITE_MAX_FUNCTION_ARG`][]). If `false`, `function` must be invoked with exactly `function.length` arguments. **Default:** `false`. * `fn` {Function} The JavaScript function to call when the SQLite function is invoked. The return value of this function should be a valid SQLite data type: see [Type conversion between JavaScript and SQLite][]. The result defaults to `NULL` if the return value is `undefined`. This method is used to create SQLite user-defined functions. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_create_function_v2()`][]. ### `database.setAuthorizer(callback)` * `callback` {Function|null} The authorizer function to set, or `null` to clear the current authorizer. Sets an authorizer callback that SQLite will invoke whenever it attempts to access data or modify the database schema through prepared statements. This can be used to implement security policies, audit access, or restrict certain operations. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_set_authorizer()`][]. When invoked, the callback receives five arguments: * `actionCode` {number} The type of operation being performed (e.g., `SQLITE_INSERT`, `SQLITE_UPDATE`, `SQLITE_SELECT`). * `arg1` {string|null} The first argument (context-dependent, often a table name). * `arg2` {string|null} The second argument (context-dependent, often a column name). * `dbName` {string|null} The name of the database. * `triggerOrView` {string|null} The name of the trigger or view causing the access. The callback must return one of the following constants: * `SQLITE_OK` - Allow the operation. * `SQLITE_DENY` - Deny the operation (causes an error). * `SQLITE_IGNORE` - Ignore the operation (silently skip). SQLite requires that the authorizer callback not modify the database connection that invoked it, which includes preparing and stepping statements. Methods that would do so throw an error with code `ERR_INVALID_STATE` while the callback is on the stack, including `database.prepare()`, `database.exec()`, the execution methods of that connection's statements, iterators, and tag stores, and `database.setAuthorizer()` itself. Other connections remain usable. The callback can also be invoked from within `statement.run()`, `statement.get()`, and similar methods, because SQLite may re-prepare a statement during execution after a schema change. Separately, a statement that is currently being executed cannot be reentered. Calling `statement.close()` on it would free the virtual machine that is running, and re-running it through `statement.run()`, `statement.get()`, `statement.all()`, `statement.iterate()`, `iterator.next()`, `iterator.return()`, or the equivalent tag store methods would reset that virtual machine mid-execution. All of these throw an `ERR_INVALID_STATE` error instead. This applies to any callback SQLite invokes during execution, such as a user-defined function. Other statements on the connection remain usable. Operations that touch no SQLite state stay available from the callback: `sqlTagStore.clear()`, which only drops cached statements, and `next()` and `return()` on an already-drained iterator, which keep returning `{ done: true }`. ```cjs const { DatabaseSync, constants } = require('node:sqlite'); const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); // Set up an authorizer that denies all table creation db.setAuthorizer((actionCode) => { if (actionCode === constants.SQLITE_CREATE_TABLE) { return constants.SQLITE_DENY; } return constants.SQLITE_OK; }); // This will work using query = db.prepare('SELECT 1'); query.get(); // This will throw an error due to authorization denial try { db.exec('CREATE TABLE blocked (id INTEGER)'); } catch (err) { console.log('Operation blocked:', err.message); } ``` ```mjs import { DatabaseSync, constants } from 'node:sqlite'; const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); // Set up an authorizer that denies all table creation db.setAuthorizer((actionCode) => { if (actionCode === constants.SQLITE_CREATE_TABLE) { return constants.SQLITE_DENY; } return constants.SQLITE_OK; }); // This will work using query = db.prepare('SELECT 1'); query.get(); // This will throw an error due to authorization denial try { db.exec('CREATE TABLE blocked (id INTEGER)'); } catch (err) { console.log('Operation blocked:', err.message); } ``` ### `database.isOpen` * Type: {boolean} Whether the database is currently open or not. ### `database.isTransaction` * Type: {boolean} Whether the database is currently within a transaction. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_get_autocommit()`][]. ### `database.limits` * Type: {Object} An object for getting and setting SQLite database limits at runtime. Each property corresponds to an SQLite limit and can be read or written. ```js const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); // Read current limit console.log(db.limits.length); // Set a new limit db.limits.sqlLength = 100000; // Reset a limit to its compile-time maximum db.limits.sqlLength = Infinity; ``` Available properties: `length`, `sqlLength`, `column`, `exprDepth`, `compoundSelect`, `vdbeOp`, `functionArg`, `attach`, `likePatternLength`, `variableNumber`, `triggerDepth`. Setting a property to `Infinity` resets the limit to its compile-time maximum value. ### `database.open()` Opens the database specified in the `path` argument of the `DatabaseSync` constructor. This method should only be used when the database is not opened via the constructor. An exception is thrown if the database is already open. ### `database.serialize([dbName])` * `dbName` {string} Name of the database to serialize. This can be `'main'` (the default primary database) or any other database that has been added with [`ATTACH DATABASE`][]. **Default:** `'main'`. * Returns: {Uint8Array} A binary representation of the database. Serializes the database into a binary representation, returned as a `Uint8Array`. This is useful for saving, cloning, or transferring an in-memory database. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_serialize()`][]. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); db.exec('CREATE TABLE t(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); db.exec("INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'hello')"); const buffer = db.serialize(); console.log(buffer.length); // Prints the byte length of the database ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); db.exec('CREATE TABLE t(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); db.exec("INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'hello')"); const buffer = db.serialize(); console.log(buffer.length); // Prints the byte length of the database ``` ### `database.deserialize(buffer[, options])` * `buffer` {Uint8Array} A binary representation of a database, such as the output of [`database.serialize()`][]. * `options` {Object} Optional configuration for the deserialization. * `dbName` {string} Name of the database to deserialize into. **Default:** `'main'`. Loads a serialized database into this connection, replacing the current database. The deserialized database is writable. Existing prepared statements are finalized before deserialization is attempted, even if the operation subsequently fails. An [`ERR_INVALID_STATE`][] error is thrown if the method is called while a database callback is on the stack, for example a user-defined function, an aggregate function, an authorizer, or a changeset filter or conflict handler. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_deserialize()`][]. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const original = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); original.exec('CREATE TABLE t(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); original.exec("INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'hello')"); const buffer = original.serialize(); original.close(); const clone = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); clone.deserialize(buffer); using query = clone.prepare('SELECT value FROM t'); console.log(query.get()); // Prints: { value: 'hello' } ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const original = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); original.exec('CREATE TABLE t(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); original.exec("INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'hello')"); const buffer = original.serialize(); original.close(); const clone = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); clone.deserialize(buffer); using query = clone.prepare('SELECT value FROM t'); console.log(query.get()); // Prints: { value: 'hello' } ``` ### `database.prepare(sql[, options])` * `sql` {string} A SQL string to compile to a prepared statement. * `options` {Object} Optional configuration for the prepared statement. * `readBigInts` {boolean} If `true`, integer fields are read as `BigInt`s. **Default:** inherited from database options or `false`. * `returnArrays` {boolean} If `true`, results are returned as arrays. **Default:** inherited from database options or `false`. * `allowBareNamedParameters` {boolean} If `true`, allows binding named parameters without the prefix character. **Default:** inherited from database options or `true`. * `allowUnknownNamedParameters` {boolean} If `true`, unknown named parameters are ignored. **Default:** inherited from database options or `false`. * `persistent` {boolean} If `true`, hints to SQLite that this statement will be retained for a long time and likely reused many times. SQLite currently responds to this hint by avoiding lookaside memory. Corresponds to the [`SQLITE_PREPARE_PERSISTENT`][] flag. **Default:** `false`. * Returns: {StatementSync} The prepared statement. Compiles a SQL statement into a [prepared statement][]. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_prepare_v3()`][]. ### `database.createTagStore([maxSize])` * `maxSize` {integer} The maximum number of prepared statements to cache. **Default:** `1000`. * Returns: {SQLTagStore} A new SQL tag store for caching prepared statements. Creates a new [`SQLTagStore`][], which is a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache for storing prepared statements. This allows for the efficient reuse of prepared statements by tagging them with a unique identifier. When a tagged SQL literal is executed, the `SQLTagStore` checks if a prepared statement for the corresponding SQL query string already exists in the cache. If it does, the cached statement is used. If not, a new prepared statement is created, executed, and then stored in the cache for future use. This mechanism helps to avoid the overhead of repeatedly parsing and preparing the same SQL statements. Tagged statements bind the placeholder values from the template literal as parameters to the underlying prepared statement. For example: ```js sqlTagStore.get`SELECT ${value}`; ``` is equivalent to: ```js using statement = db.prepare('SELECT ?'); statement.get(value); ``` However, in the first example, the tag store will cache the underlying prepared statement for future use. > **Note:** The `${value}` syntax in tagged statements _binds_ a parameter to > the prepared statement. This differs from its behavior in _untagged_ template > literals, where it performs string interpolation. > > ```js > // This a safe example of binding a parameter to a tagged statement. > sqlTagStore.run`INSERT INTO t1 (id) VALUES (${id})`; > > // This is an *unsafe* example of an untagged template string. > // `id` is interpolated into the query text as a string. > // This can lead to SQL injection and data corruption. > db.run(`INSERT INTO t1 (id) VALUES (${id})`); > ``` The tag store will match a statement from the cache if the query strings (including the positions of any bound placeholders) are identical. ```js // The following statements will match in the cache: sqlTagStore.get`SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id = ${id} AND active = 1`; sqlTagStore.get`SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id = ${12345} AND active = 1`; // The following statements will not match, as the query strings // and bound placeholders differ: sqlTagStore.get`SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id = ${id} AND active = 1`; sqlTagStore.get`SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id = 12345 AND active = 1`; // The following statements will not match, as matches are case-sensitive: sqlTagStore.get`SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id = ${id} AND active = 1`; sqlTagStore.get`select * from t1 where id = ${id} and active = 1`; ``` The only way of binding parameters in tagged statements is with the `${value}` syntax. Do not add parameter binding placeholders (`?` etc.) to the SQL query string itself. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); const sql = db.createTagStore(); db.exec('CREATE TABLE users (id INT, name TEXT)'); // Using the 'run' method to insert data. // The tagged literal is used to identify the prepared statement. sql.run`INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice')`; sql.run`INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'Bob')`; // Using the 'get' method to retrieve a single row. const name = 'Alice'; const user = sql.get`SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ${name}`; console.log(user); // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' } // Using the 'all' method to retrieve all rows. const allUsers = sql.all`SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id`; console.log(allUsers); // [ // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' }, // { id: 2, name: 'Bob' } // ] ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); const sql = db.createTagStore(); db.exec('CREATE TABLE users (id INT, name TEXT)'); // Using the 'run' method to insert data. // The tagged literal is used to identify the prepared statement. sql.run`INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice')`; sql.run`INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'Bob')`; // Using the 'get' method to retrieve a single row. const name = 'Alice'; const user = sql.get`SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ${name}`; console.log(user); // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' } // Using the 'all' method to retrieve all rows. const allUsers = sql.all`SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id`; console.log(allUsers); // [ // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' }, // { id: 2, name: 'Bob' } // ] ``` ### `database.createSession([options])` * `options` {Object} The configuration options for the session. * `table` {string} A specific table to track changes for. By default, changes to all tables are tracked. * `db` {string} Name of the database to track. This is useful when multiple databases have been added using [`ATTACH DATABASE`][]. **Default**: `'main'`. * Returns: {Session} A session handle. Creates and attaches a session to the database. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3session_create()`][] and [`sqlite3session_attach()`][]. ### `database.applyChangeset(changeset[, options])` * `changeset` {Uint8Array} A binary changeset or patchset. * `options` {Object} The configuration options for how the changes will be applied. * `filter` {Function} for each table affected by at least one change in the changeset, the `filter` callback is invoked with the table name as the first argument. If the return value is falsy, then no attempt is made to apply any changes to the table. Otherwise, if the return value is truthy or no `filter` callback is provided, all changes related to the table are attempted. * `onConflict` {Function} A function that determines how to handle conflicts. The function receives one argument, which can be one of the following values: * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_DATA`: A `DELETE` or `UPDATE` change does not contain the expected "before" values. * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_NOTFOUND`: A row matching the primary key of the `DELETE` or `UPDATE` change does not exist. * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONFLICT`: An `INSERT` change results in a duplicate primary key. * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_FOREIGN_KEY`: Applying a change would result in a foreign key violation. * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONSTRAINT`: Applying a change results in a `UNIQUE`, `CHECK`, or `NOT NULL` constraint violation. The function should return one of the following values: * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_OMIT`: Omit conflicting changes. * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_REPLACE`: Replace existing values with conflicting changes (only valid with `SQLITE_CHANGESET_DATA` or `SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONFLICT` conflicts). * `SQLITE_CHANGESET_ABORT`: Abort on conflict and roll back the database. When an error is thrown in the conflict handler or when any other value is returned from the handler, applying the changeset is aborted and the database is rolled back. **Default**: A function that returns `SQLITE_CHANGESET_ABORT`. * Returns: {boolean} Whether the changeset was applied successfully without being aborted. An exception is thrown if the database is not open. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3changeset_apply()`][]. ```mjs import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const sourceDb = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); const targetDb = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); sourceDb.exec('CREATE TABLE data(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); targetDb.exec('CREATE TABLE data(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); const session = sourceDb.createSession(); using insert = sourceDb.prepare('INSERT INTO data (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)'); insert.run(1, 'hello'); insert.run(2, 'world'); const changeset = session.changeset(); targetDb.applyChangeset(changeset); // Now that the changeset has been applied, targetDb contains the same data as sourceDb. ``` ```cjs const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); const sourceDb = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); const targetDb = new DatabaseSync(':memory:'); sourceDb.exec('CREATE TABLE data(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); targetDb.exec('CREATE TABLE data(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT)'); const session = sourceDb.createSession(); using insert = sourceDb.prepare('INSERT INTO data (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)'); insert.run(1, 'hello'); insert.run(2, 'world'); const changeset = session.changeset(); targetDb.applyChangeset(changeset); // Now that the changeset has been applied, targetDb contains the same data as sourceDb. ``` ### `database[Symbol.dispose]()` Closes the database connection. If the database connection is already closed then this is a no-op. ## Class: `Session` ### `session.changeset()` * Returns: {Uint8Array} Binary changeset that can be applied to other databases. Retrieves a changeset containing all changes since the changeset was created. Can be called multiple times. An exception is thrown if the database or the session is not open. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3session_changeset()`][]. ### `session.patchset()` * Returns: {Uint8Array} Binary patchset that can be applied to other databases. Similar to the method above, but generates a more compact patchset. See [Changesets and Patchsets][] in the documentation of SQLite. An exception is thrown if the database or the session is not open. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3session_patchset()`][]. ### `session.close()` Closes the session. An exception is thrown if the database or the session is not open, or if the session is currently generating a changeset or patchset. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3session_delete()`][]. ### `session[Symbol.dispose]()` Closes the session. If the session is already closed, does nothing. ## Class: `StatementSync` This class represents a single [prepared statement][]. This class cannot be instantiated via its constructor. Instead, instances are created via the `database.prepare()` method. All APIs exposed by this class execute synchronously. A prepared statement is an efficient binary representation of the SQL used to create it. Prepared statements are parameterizable, and can be invoked multiple times with different bound values. Parameters also offer protection against [SQL injection][] attacks. For these reasons, prepared statements are preferred over hand-crafted SQL strings when handling user input. ### Binding parameters The `all()`, `get()`, `iterate()`, and `run()` methods bind their arguments to the parameters of the prepared statement before executing it. Parameters are either anonymous or named. Anonymous parameters are written as `?` in SQL and are bound in order from the arguments passed to the method. The `?NNN` form assigns SQLite parameter index `NNN` to a placeholder. Avoid mixing numbered and named parameters because they share parameter indexes. ```js db.prepare('SELECT ? AS a, ? AS b').get('x', 42); // { a: 'x', b: 42 } db.prepare('SELECT ?2 AS a, ?1 AS b').get('first', 'second'); // { a: 'second', b: 'first' } ``` Named parameters begin with one of the prefix characters `$`, `:`, or `@` in SQL. They are bound from an object passed as the first argument. Repeating a name in the SQL binds the same value to every occurrence. ```js db.prepare('SELECT $a AS a, $b AS b').get({ $a: 1, $b: 2 }); // { a: 1, b: 2 } db.prepare('SELECT :a AS a').get({ ':a': 1 }); // { a: 1 } db.prepare('SELECT @a AS a').get({ '@a': 1 }); // { a: 1 } db.prepare('SELECT $k AS a, $k AS b').get({ k: 7 }); // { a: 7, b: 7 } ``` The last example omits the prefix character from the object key. Bare names are allowed by default; see [`statement.setAllowBareNamedParameters()`][] for their caveats. Binding a key that does not name a parameter of the statement throws an `ERR_INVALID_STATE` error unless unknown named parameters are ignored. See [`statement.setAllowUnknownNamedParameters()`][]. See [Type conversion between JavaScript and SQLite][] for the values that can be bound. Binding any other value throws an `ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE` error. ### `statement.all([namedParameters][, ...anonymousParameters])` * `namedParameters` {Object} An optional object used to bind named parameters. The keys of this object are used to configure the mapping. * `...anonymousParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Zero or more values to bind to anonymous parameters. * Returns: {Array} An array of objects. Each object corresponds to a row returned by executing the prepared statement. The keys and values of each object correspond to the column names and values of the row. This method executes a prepared statement and returns all results as an array of objects. If the prepared statement does not return any results, this method returns an empty array. The prepared statement [parameters are bound][] using the values in `namedParameters` and `anonymousParameters`. See [Binding parameters][]. ### `statement.close()` Finalizes the prepared statement. An exception is thrown if the statement is already finalized. An [`ERR_INVALID_STATE`][] error is thrown if this statement is currently executing, which happens when the method is called from a callback that the statement itself triggered, such as a user-defined function, an aggregate function, or a [`'sqlite.db.query'`][] subscriber. Idle statements on the same connection can be finalized from such a callback. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_finalize()`][]. ### `statement.columns()` * Returns: {Array} An array of objects. Each object corresponds to a column in the prepared statement, and contains the following properties: * `column` {string|null} The unaliased name of the column in the origin table, or `null` if the column is the result of an expression or subquery. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_column_origin_name()`][]. * `database` {string|null} The unaliased name of the origin database, or `null` if the column is the result of an expression or subquery. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_column_database_name()`][]. * `name` {string} The name assigned to the column in the result set of a `SELECT` statement. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_column_name()`][]. * `table` {string|null} The unaliased name of the origin table, or `null` if the column is the result of an expression or subquery. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_column_table_name()`][]. * `type` {string|null} The declared data type of the column, or `null` if the column is the result of an expression or subquery. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_column_decltype()`][]. This method is used to retrieve information about the columns returned by the prepared statement. ### `statement.expandedSQL` * Type: {string} The source SQL expanded to include parameter values. The source SQL text of the prepared statement with parameter placeholders replaced by the values that were used during the most recent execution of this prepared statement. This property is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_expanded_sql()`][]. ### `statement.get([namedParameters][, ...anonymousParameters])` * `namedParameters` {Object} An optional object used to bind named parameters. The keys of this object are used to configure the mapping. * `...anonymousParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Zero or more values to bind to anonymous parameters. * Returns: {Object|undefined} An object corresponding to the first row returned by executing the prepared statement. The keys and values of the object correspond to the column names and values of the row. If no rows were returned from the database then this method returns `undefined`. This method executes a prepared statement and returns the first result as an object. If the prepared statement does not return any results, this method returns `undefined`. The prepared statement [parameters are bound][] using the values in `namedParameters` and `anonymousParameters`. See [Binding parameters][]. ### `statement.iterate([namedParameters][, ...anonymousParameters])` * `namedParameters` {Object} An optional object used to bind named parameters. The keys of this object are used to configure the mapping. * `...anonymousParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Zero or more values to bind to anonymous parameters. * Returns: {Iterator} An iterable iterator of objects. Each object corresponds to a row returned by executing the prepared statement. The keys and values of each object correspond to the column names and values of the row. This method executes a prepared statement and returns an iterator of objects. If the prepared statement does not return any results, this method returns an empty iterator. The prepared statement [parameters are bound][] using the values in `namedParameters` and `anonymousParameters`. See [Binding parameters][]. ### `statement.resetStats()` Resets every counter reported by [`statement.stat()`][] back to zero, except `memused`, which reports current memory usage and cannot be reset. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_stmt_status()`][] and is useful for measuring a specific workload without the counts accumulated by earlier executions of the same prepared statement. ### `statement.run([namedParameters][, ...anonymousParameters])` * `namedParameters` {Object} An optional object used to bind named parameters. The keys of this object are used to configure the mapping. * `...anonymousParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Zero or more values to bind to anonymous parameters. * Returns: {Object} * `changes` {number|bigint} The number of rows modified, inserted, or deleted by the most recently completed `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` statement. This field is either a number or a `BigInt` depending on the prepared statement's configuration. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_changes64()`][]. * `lastInsertRowid` {number|bigint} The most recently inserted rowid. This field is either a number or a `BigInt` depending on the prepared statement's configuration. This property is the result of [`sqlite3_last_insert_rowid()`][]. This method executes a prepared statement and returns an object summarizing the resulting changes. The prepared statement [parameters are bound][] using the values in `namedParameters` and `anonymousParameters`. See [Binding parameters][]. ### `statement.setAllowBareNamedParameters(enabled)` * `enabled` {boolean} Enables or disables support for binding named parameters without the prefix character. The names of SQLite parameters begin with a prefix character. However, with the exception of the dollar sign character, these prefix characters also require extra quoting when used in object keys. To improve ergonomics, `node:sqlite` allows bare named parameters, which do not require the prefix character in JavaScript code, by default. This method can be used to disable that behavior, requiring the prefix character when binding. There are several caveats to be aware of when bare named parameters are allowed: * The prefix character is still required in SQL. * The prefix character is still allowed in JavaScript. In fact, prefixed names will have slightly better binding performance. * Using ambiguous named parameters, such as `$k` and `@k`, in the same prepared statement will result in an exception as it cannot be determined how to bind a bare name. ### `statement.setAllowUnknownNamedParameters(enabled)` * `enabled` {boolean} Enables or disables support for unknown named parameters. By default, if an unknown name is encountered while binding parameters, an exception is thrown. This method allows unknown named parameters to be ignored. ### `statement.setReturnArrays(enabled)` * `enabled` {boolean} Enables or disables the return of query results as arrays. When enabled, query results returned by the `all()`, `get()`, and `iterate()` methods will be returned as arrays instead of objects. ### `statement.setReadBigInts(enabled)` * `enabled` {boolean} Enables or disables the use of `BigInt`s when reading `INTEGER` fields from the database. When reading from the database, SQLite `INTEGER`s are mapped to JavaScript numbers by default. However, SQLite `INTEGER`s can store values larger than JavaScript numbers are capable of representing. In such cases, this method can be used to read `INTEGER` data using JavaScript `BigInt`s. This method has no impact on database write operations where numbers and `BigInt`s are both supported at all times. ### `statement.sourceSQL` * Type: {string} The source SQL used to create this prepared statement. The source SQL text of the prepared statement. This property is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_sql()`][]. ### `statement[Symbol.dispose]()` Finalizes the prepared statement. If the prepared statement is already finalized, then this is a no-op. An [`ERR_INVALID_STATE`][] error is thrown if this statement is currently executing, under the same conditions as [`statement.close()`][]. ### `statement.stat(counter)` * `counter` {string} The name of the counter to read. One of: * `'fullscanStep'` The number of times SQLite has stepped forward in a table as part of a full table scan. * `'sort'` The number of sort operations that have occurred. * `'autoindex'` The number of rows inserted into transient indices that were created automatically to help joins run faster. * `'vmStep'` The number of virtual machine operations executed by the prepared statement. * `'reprepare'` The number of times the statement has been automatically reprepared due to schema changes or changes to bound parameters. * `'run'` The number of execution cycles started by the prepared statement. * `'filterMiss'` The number of times the Bloom filter returned a result that required the join step to be processed as normal. * `'filterHit'` The number of times a join step was bypassed because a Bloom filter returned not-found. * `'memused'` The approximate number of bytes of heap memory used to store the prepared statement. * Returns: {number} The current value of the requested counter. Returns one of the runtime counters that SQLite tracks for this prepared statement. This method is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_stmt_status()`][] and does not reset the counter. Asserting that a statement does not perform a full table scan (`statement.stat('fullscanStep') === 0`) is a useful check to guard against degenerate performance. The `'filterMiss'` and `'filterHit'` counters require SQLite 3.38.0 or later. Builds linked against an older SQLite with `--shared-sqlite` do not expose them, and passing either name throws `ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE`. ## Class: `SQLTagStore` This class represents a single LRU (Least Recently Used) cache for storing prepared statements. Instances of this class are created via the [`database.createTagStore()`][] method, not by using a constructor. The store caches prepared statements based on the provided SQL query string. When the same query is seen again, the store retrieves the cached statement and safely applies the new values through parameter binding, thereby preventing attacks like SQL injection. The cache has a maxSize that defaults to 1000 statements, but a custom size can be provided (e.g., `database.createTagStore(100)`). All APIs exposed by this class execute synchronously. ### `sqlTagStore.all(stringElements[, ...boundParameters])` * `stringElements` {string\[]} Template literal elements containing the SQL query. * `...boundParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Parameter values to be bound to placeholders in the template string. * Returns: {Array} An array of objects representing the rows returned by the query. Executes the given SQL query and returns all resulting rows as an array of objects. This function is intended to be used as a template literal tag, not to be called directly. ### `sqlTagStore.get(stringElements[, ...boundParameters])` * `stringElements` {string\[]} Template literal elements containing the SQL query. * `...boundParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Parameter values to be bound to placeholders in the template string. * Returns: {Object | undefined} An object representing the first row returned by the query, or `undefined` if no rows are returned. Executes the given SQL query and returns the first resulting row as an object. This function is intended to be used as a template literal tag, not to be called directly. ### `sqlTagStore.iterate(stringElements[, ...boundParameters])` * `stringElements` {string\[]} Template literal elements containing the SQL query. * `...boundParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Parameter values to be bound to placeholders in the template string. * Returns: {Iterator} An iterator that yields objects representing the rows returned by the query. Executes the given SQL query and returns an iterator over the resulting rows. This function is intended to be used as a template literal tag, not to be called directly. ### `sqlTagStore.run(stringElements[, ...boundParameters])` * `stringElements` {string\[]} Template literal elements containing the SQL query. * `...boundParameters` {null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Buffer|TypedArray|DataView|ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer} Parameter values to be bound to placeholders in the template string. * Returns: {Object} An object containing information about the execution, including `changes` and `lastInsertRowid`. Executes the given SQL query, which is expected to not return any rows (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). This function is intended to be used as a template literal tag, not to be called directly. ### `sqlTagStore.size` * Type: {integer} A read-only property that returns the number of prepared statements currently in the cache. ### `sqlTagStore.capacity` * Type: {integer} A read-only property that returns the maximum number of prepared statements the cache can hold. ### `sqlTagStore.db` * Type: {DatabaseSync} A read-only property that returns the `DatabaseSync` object associated with this `SQLTagStore`. ### `sqlTagStore.clear()` Resets the LRU cache, clearing all stored prepared statements. ## `sqlite.backup(sourceDb, path[, options])` * `sourceDb` {DatabaseSync} The database to backup. The source database must be open. * `path` {string | Buffer | URL} The path where the backup will be created. If the file already exists, the contents will be overwritten. * `options` {Object} Optional configuration for the backup. The following properties are supported: * `source` {string} Name of the source database. This can be `'main'` (the default primary database) or any other database that have been added with [`ATTACH DATABASE`][] **Default:** `'main'`. * `target` {string} Name of the target database. This can be `'main'` (the default primary database) or any other database that have been added with [`ATTACH DATABASE`][] **Default:** `'main'`. * `rate` {integer} Positive number of pages to be transmitted in each batch of the backup. **Default:** `100`. * `progress` {Function} An optional callback function that will be called after each backup step. The argument passed to this callback is an {Object} with `remainingPages` and `totalPages` properties, describing the current progress of the backup operation. * Returns: {Promise} A promise that fulfills with the total number of backed-up pages upon completion, or rejects if an error occurs. This method makes a database backup. This method abstracts the [`sqlite3_backup_init()`][], [`sqlite3_backup_step()`][] and [`sqlite3_backup_finish()`][] functions. The backed-up database can be used normally during the backup process. Mutations coming from the same connection - same {DatabaseSync} - object will be reflected in the backup right away. However, mutations from other connections will cause the backup process to restart. ```cjs const { backup, DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite'); (async () => { const sourceDb = new DatabaseSync('source.db'); const totalPagesTransferred = await backup(sourceDb, 'backup.db', { rate: 1, // Copy one page at a time. progress: ({ totalPages, remainingPages }) => { console.log('Backup in progress', { totalPages, remainingPages }); }, }); console.log('Backup completed', totalPagesTransferred); })(); ``` ```mjs import { backup, DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'; const sourceDb = new DatabaseSync('source.db'); const totalPagesTransferred = await backup(sourceDb, 'backup.db', { rate: 1, // Copy one page at a time. progress: ({ totalPages, remainingPages }) => { console.log('Backup in progress', { totalPages, remainingPages }); }, }); console.log('Backup completed', totalPagesTransferred); ``` ## `sqlite.constants` * Type: {Object} An object containing commonly used constants for SQLite operations. ### SQLite constants The following constants are exported by the `sqlite.constants` object. #### Conflict resolution constants One of the following constants is available as an argument to the `onConflict` conflict resolution handler passed to [`database.applyChangeset()`][]. See also [Constants Passed To The Conflict Handler][] in the SQLite documentation.
Constant Description
SQLITE_CHANGESET_DATA The conflict handler is invoked with this constant when processing a DELETE or UPDATE change if a row with the required PRIMARY KEY fields is present in the database, but one or more other (non primary-key) fields modified by the update do not contain the expected "before" values.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_NOTFOUND The conflict handler is invoked with this constant when processing a DELETE or UPDATE change if a row with the required PRIMARY KEY fields is not present in the database.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONFLICT This constant is passed to the conflict handler while processing an INSERT change if the operation would result in duplicate primary key values.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONSTRAINT If any other constraint violation occurs while applying a change (i.e. a UNIQUE, CHECK or NOT NULL constraint), the conflict handler is invoked with this constant.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_FOREIGN_KEY If foreign key handling is enabled, and applying a changeset leaves the database in a state containing foreign key violations, the conflict handler is invoked with this constant exactly once before the changeset is committed. If the conflict handler returns SQLITE_CHANGESET_OMIT, the changes, including those that caused the foreign key constraint violation, are committed. Or, if it returns SQLITE_CHANGESET_ABORT, the changeset is rolled back.
One of the following constants must be returned from the `onConflict` conflict resolution handler passed to [`database.applyChangeset()`][]. See also [Constants Returned From The Conflict Handler][] in the SQLite documentation.
Constant Description
SQLITE_CHANGESET_OMIT Conflicting changes are omitted.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_REPLACE Conflicting changes replace existing values. Note that this value can only be returned when the type of conflict is either SQLITE_CHANGESET_DATA or SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONFLICT.
SQLITE_CHANGESET_ABORT Abort when a change encounters a conflict and roll back database.
#### Authorization constants The following constants are used with the [`database.setAuthorizer()`][] method. ##### Authorization result codes One of the following constants must be returned from the authorizer callback function passed to [`database.setAuthorizer()`][].
Constant Description
SQLITE_OK Allow the operation to proceed normally.
SQLITE_DENY Deny the operation and cause an error to be returned.
SQLITE_IGNORE Ignore the operation and continue as if it had never been requested.
##### Authorization action codes The following constants are passed as the first argument to the authorizer callback function to indicate what type of operation is being authorized.
