Go bindings to SQLite using wazero

Go Reference Go Report Go Coverage

Go module github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3 is a cgo-free SQLite wrapper.
It provides a database/sql compatible driver, as well as direct access to most of the C SQLite API.

It wraps a Wasm build of SQLite, and uses wazero as the runtime.
Go, wazero and x/sys are the only direct dependencies.

Getting started

Using the database/sql driver:


import "database/sql"
import _ "github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/driver"
import _ "github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/embed"

var version string
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "file:demo.db")
db.QueryRow(`SELECT sqlite_version()`).Scan(&version)

Caveats

This module replaces the SQLite OS Interface (aka VFS) with a pure Go implementation, which has advantages and disadvantages. Read more about the Go VFS design here.

Because each database connection executes within a Wasm sandboxed environment, memory usage will be higher than alternatives.

Testing

This project aims for high test coverage. It also benefits greatly from SQLite's and wazero's thorough testing.

Every commit is tested on:

  • Linux: amd64, arm64, 386, riscv64, ppc64le, s390x
  • macOS: amd64, arm64
  • Windows: amd64
  • BSD:
    • FreeBSD: amd64, arm64
    • OpenBSD: amd64
    • NetBSD: amd64, arm64
    • DragonFly BSD: amd64
  • illumos: amd64
  • Solaris: amd64

Certain operating system and CPU combinations have some limitations. See the support matrix for a complete overview.

The Go VFS is tested by running SQLite's mptest.

Performance

Performance of the database/sql driver is competitive with alternatives.

The Wasm and VFS layers are also benchmarked by running SQLite's speedtest1.

Concurrency

This module behaves similarly to SQLite in multi-thread mode: it is goroutine-safe, provided that no single database connection, or object derived from it, is used concurrently by multiple goroutines.

The database/sql API is safe to use concurrently, according to its documentation.
