This package can be installed with the go get command:
go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
_go-sqlite3_ is *cgo* package.
If you want to build your app using go-sqlite3, you need gcc.
However, after you have built and installed _go-sqlite3_ with `go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3` (which requires gcc), you can build your app without relying on gcc in future.
***Important: because this is a `CGO` enabled package you are required to set the environment variable `CGO_ENABLED=1` and have a `gcc` compile present within your path.***

# Connection String
When creating a new SQLite database or connection to an existing one, with the file name additional options can be given.
This is also known as a DSN string. (Data Source Name).
Options are append after the filename of the SQLite database.
The database filename and options are seperated by an `?` (Question Mark).
Options should be URL-encoded (see [url.QueryEscape](https://golang.org/pkg/net/url/#QueryEscape)).
This also applies when using an in-memory database instead of a file.
Options can be given using the following format: `KEYWORD=VALUE` and multiple options can be combined with the `&` ampersand.
This library supports dsn options of SQLite itself and provides additional options.
Boolean values can be one of:
*`0``no``false``off`
*`1``yes``true``on`

# Features
This package allows additional configuration of features available within SQLite3 to be enabled or disabled by golang build constraints also known as build `tags`.
[Click here for more information about build tags / constraints.](https://golang.org/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints)
### Usage
If you wish to build this library with additional extensions / features.
Use the following command.
```bash
go build --tags "<FEATURE>"
```
For available features see the extension list.
When using multiple build tags, all the different tags should be space delimted.
Example:
```bash
go build --tags "icu json1 fts5 secure_delete"
```
### Feature / Extension List
| Extension | Build Tag | Description |
|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| Additional Statistics | sqlite_stat4 | This option adds additional logic to the ANALYZE command and to the query planner that can help SQLite to chose a better query plan under certain situations. The ANALYZE command is enhanced to collect histogram data from all columns of every index and store that data in the sqlite_stat4 table.<br><br>The query planner will then use the histogram data to help it make better index choices. The downside of this compile-time option is that it violates the query planner stability guarantee making it more difficult to ensure consistent performance in mass-produced applications.<br><br>SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4 is an enhancement of SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3. STAT3 only recorded histogram data for the left-most column of each index whereas the STAT4 enhancement records histogram data from all columns of each index.<br><br>The SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3 compile-time option is a no-op and is ignored if the SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4 compile-time option is used |
| Allow URI Authority | sqlite_allow_uri_authority | URI filenames normally throws an error if the authority section is not either empty or "localhost".<br><br>However, if SQLite is compiled with the SQLITE_ALLOW_URI_AUTHORITY compile-time option, then the URI is converted into a Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) filename and passed down to the underlying operating system that way |
| App Armor | sqlite_app_armor | When defined, this C-preprocessor macro activates extra code that attempts to detect misuse of the SQLite API, such as passing in NULL pointers to required parameters or using objects after they have been destroyed. <br><br>App Armor is not available under `Windows`. |
| Disable Load Extensions | sqlite_omit_load_extension | Loading of external extensions is enabled by default.<br><br>To disable extension loading add the build tag `sqlite_omit_load_extension`. |
| Foreign Keys | sqlite_foreign_keys | This macro determines whether enforcement of foreign key constraints is enabled or disabled by default for new database connections.<br><br>Each database connection can always turn enforcement of foreign key constraints on and off and run-time using the foreign_keys pragma.<br><br>Enforcement of foreign key constraints is normally off by default, but if this compile-time parameter is set to 1, enforcement of foreign key constraints will be on by default |
| Full Auto Vacuum | sqlite_vacuum_full | Set the default auto vacuum to full |
| Incremental Auto Vacuum | sqlite_vacuum_incr | Set the default auto vacuum to incremental |
| Full Text Search Engine | sqlite_fts5 | When this option is defined in the amalgamation, versions 5 of the full-text search engine (fts5) is added to the build automatically |
| International Components for Unicode | sqlite_icu | This option causes the International Components for Unicode or "ICU" extension to SQLite to be added to the build |
| Introspect PRAGMAS | sqlite_introspect | This option adds some extra PRAGMA statements. <ul><li>PRAGMA function_list</li><li>PRAGMA module_list</li><li>PRAGMA pragma_list</li></ul> |
| JSON SQL Functions | sqlite_json | When this option is defined in the amalgamation, the JSON SQL functions are added to the build automatically |
| Pre Update Hook | sqlite_preupdate_hook | Registers a callback function that is invoked prior to each INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operation on a database table. |
| Secure Delete | sqlite_secure_delete | This compile-time option changes the default setting of the secure_delete pragma.<br><br>When this option is not used, secure_delete defaults to off. When this option is present, secure_delete defaults to on.<br><br>The secure_delete setting causes deleted content to be overwritten with zeros. There is a small performance penalty since additional I/O must occur.<br><br>On the other hand, secure_delete can prevent fragments of sensitive information from lingering in unused parts of the database file after it has been deleted. See the documentation on the secure_delete pragma for additional information |
| Secure Delete (FAST) | sqlite_secure_delete_fast | For more information see [PRAGMA secure_delete](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_secure_delete) |
| User Authentication | sqlite_userauth | SQLite User Authentication see [User Authentication](#user-authentication) for more information. |
# Compilation
This package requires `CGO_ENABLED=1` ennvironment variable if not set by default, and the presence of the `gcc` compiler.
If you need to add additional CFLAGS or LDFLAGS to the build command, and do not want to modify this package. Then this can be achieved by using the `CGO_CFLAGS` and `CGO_LDFLAGS` environment variables.
## Android
This package can be compiled for android.
Compile with:
```bash
go build --tags "android"
```
For more information see [#201](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/201)
# ARM
To compile for `ARM` use the following environment.
The passwords within the user authentication module of SQLite are encoded with the SQLite function `sqlite_cryp`.
This function uses a ceasar-cypher which is quite insecure.
This library provides several additional password encoders which can be configured through the connection string.
The password cypher can be configured with the key `_auth_crypt`. And if the configured password encoder also requires an
salt this can be configured with `_auth_salt`.
#### Available Encoders
- SHA1
- SSHA1 (Salted SHA1)
- SHA256
- SSHA256 (salted SHA256)
- SHA384
- SSHA384 (salted SHA384)
- SHA512
- SSHA512 (salted SHA512)
### Restrictions
Operations on the database regarding to user management can only be preformed by an administrator user.
### Support
The user authentication supports two kinds of users
- administrators
- regular users
### User Management
User management can be done by directly using the `*SQLiteConn` or by SQL.
#### SQL
The following sql functions are available for user management.
| Function | Arguments | Description |
|----------|-----------|-------------|
| `authenticate` | username `string`, password `string` | Will authenticate an user, this is done by the connection; and should not be used manually. |
| `auth_user_add` | username `string`, password `string`, admin `int` | This function will add an user to the database.<br>if the database is not protected by user authentication it will enable it. Argument `admin` is an integer identifying if the added user should be an administrator. Only Administrators can add administrators. |
| `auth_user_change` | username `string`, password `string`, admin `int` | Function to modify an user. Users can change their own password, but only an administrator can change the administrator flag. |
| `authUserDelete` | username `string` | Delete an user from the database. Can only be used by an administrator. The current logged in administrator cannot be deleted. This is to make sure their is always an administrator remaining. |
These functions will return an integer.
- 0 (SQLITE_OK)
- 23 (SQLITE_AUTH) Failed to perform due to authentication or insufficient privileges

- Want to get time.Time with current locale
Use `_loc=auto` in SQLite3 filename schema like `file:foo.db?_loc=auto`.
- Can I use this in multiple routines concurrently?
Yes for readonly. But, No for writable. See [#50](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/50), [#51](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/51), [#209](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/209), [#274](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/274).
- Why I'm getting `no such table` error?
Why is it racy if I use a `sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:")` database?
specified `":memory:"`, that connection will see a brand new database. A
workaround is to use `"file::memory:?cache=shared"` (or `"file:foobar?mode=memory&cache=shared"`). Every
connection to this string will point to the same in-memory database.
Note that if the last database connection in the pool closes, the in-memory database is deleted. Make sure the [max idle connection limit](https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#DB.SetMaxIdleConns) is > 0, and the [connection lifetime](https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#DB.SetConnMaxLifetime) is infinite.
