= SQLite3/Ruby Interface
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3
|
|
4
|
+
database engine (http://www.sqlite.org). You must have the
|
|
5
|
+
SQLite engine installed in order to build this module.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
Note that this module is NOT compatible with SQLite 2.x.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
|
|
10
|
+
== Compilation and Installation
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
Simply do the following, after installing SQLite3:
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
ruby setup.rb config
|
|
15
|
+
ruby setup.rb setup
|
|
16
|
+
ruby setup.rb install
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
Alternatively, you can download and install the RubyGem package for
|
|
19
|
+
SQLite3/Ruby (you must have RubyGems and SQLite3 installed, first):
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
gem install sqlite3-ruby
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
If you have sqlite3 installed in a non-standard location, you can specify the location of the include and lib files by doing:
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include \
|
|
26
|
+
--with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
Also, the gem ships with the C source-code pre-built, so (as of version 1.1.1)
|
|
29
|
+
you no longer need to have SWIG installed. However, if you have SWIG installed
|
|
30
|
+
and you want to generate the C file yourself, you can specify the
|
|
31
|
+
<code>--with-swig</code> option.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
== Usage
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
For help figuring out the SQLite3/Ruby interface, check out the
|
|
36
|
+
FAQ[http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/sqlite3/faq.html]. It includes examples of
|
|
37
|
+
usage. If you have any questions that you feel should be address in the
|
|
38
|
+
FAQ, please send them to jamis@37signals.com

|
|
41
|
+
|
|

|
+
The source repository is accessible via git:
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
git clone git://github.com/jamis/sqlite3-ruby.git

<p>For example, here is a query using these placeholder formats:</p>
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
<pre>
|
|
196
|
+
select *
|
|
197
|
+
from table
|
|
198
|
+
where ( c = ?2 or c = ? )
|
|
199
|
+
and d = :name
|
|
200
|
+
and e = :1
|
|
201
|
+
</pre>
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
<p>This defines 5 different placeholders: 1, 2, 3, and “name”.</p>
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
<p>You replace these placeholders by <em>binding</em> them to values. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways.</p>
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
<p>The <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Database.html'>Database#execute</a>, and <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Database.html'>Database#execute2</a> methods all accept additional arguments following the <span class="caps">SQL</span> statement. These arguments are assumed to be bind parameters, and they are bound (positionally) to their corresponding placeholders:</p>
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
<pre>
|
|
213
|
+
db.execute( "select * from table where a = ? and b = ?",
|
|
214
|
+
"hello",
|
|
215
|
+
"world" )
|
|
216
|
+
</pre>
|
|
217
|
+
|
|
218
|
+
<p>The above would replace the first question mark with ‘hello’ and the second with ‘world’. If the placeholders have an explicit index given, they will be replaced with the bind parameter at that index (1-based).</p>
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
|
|
221
|
+
<p>If a Hash is given as a bind parameter, then its key/value pairs are bound to the placeholders. This is how you bind by name:</p>
|
|
222
|
+
|
|
223
|
+
|
|
224
|
+
<pre>
|
|
225
|
+
db.execute( "select * from table where a = :name and b = :value",
|
|
226
|
+
"name" => "bob",
|
|
227
|
+
"value" => "priceless" )
|
|
228
|
+
</pre>
|
|
229
|
+
|
|
230
|
+
<p>You can also bind explicitly using the <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Statement.html'>Statement</a> object itself. Just pass additional parameters to the <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Statement.html'>Statement#execute</a> statement:</p>

db.prepare( "select * from table where a = :name and b = ?" ) do |stmt|
|
|
235
|

stmt.execute "value", "name" => "bob"

|

<div class='faq-answer'><p>If you ever want to know the names or types of the columns in a result set, you can do it in several ways.</p>
|
|
255
|
+
|
|
256
|
+
|
|
257
|
+
<p>The first way is to ask the row object itself. Each row will have a property “fields” that returns an array of the column names. The row will also have a property “types” that returns an array of the column types:</p>
|
|
258
|
+
|
|
259
|
+
|
|
260
|
+
<pre>
|
|
261
|
+
rows = db.execute( "select * from table" )
|
|
262
|
+
p rows[0].fields
|
|
263
|
+
p rows[0].types
|
|
264
|
+
</pre>
|
|
265
|
+
|
|
266
|
+
<p>Obviously, this approach requires you to execute a statement that actually returns data. If you don’t know if the statement will return any rows, but you still need the metadata, you can use <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Database.html'>Database#query</a> and ask the <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/ResultSet.html'>ResultSet</a> object itself:</p>
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
|
|
269
|
+
<pre>
|
|
270
|
+
db.query( "select * from table" ) do |result|
|
|
271
|
+
p result.columns
|
|
272
|
+
p result.types

end
|
|
275
|
+
</pre>
|
|
276
|
+
|
|
277
|
+
<p>Lastly, you can use <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Database.html'>Database#prepare</a> and ask the <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Statement.html'>Statement</a> object what the metadata are:</p>

|
|
289
|
+
|
|
290

<p>The first way to do this is to set the <a href='http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/classes/SQLite/Database.html'>Database</a> property “results_as_hash” to true. If you do this, then all rows will be returned as Hash objects, with the column names as the keys.

<p>The other way is to use Ara Howard’s <a href="http://rubyforge.org/projects/arrayfields">ArrayFields</a> module. Just require “arrayfields”, and all of your rows will be indexable by column name, even though they are still arrays!</p>
