neilotoole/sqlitr2

sqlitr2 is a trivial query tool for SQLite written in Go. It was created to test cross-platform Go/CGo builds using GitHub workflows/actions, GoReleaser, and fury.io to host deb/rpm packages.

Usage

From sqlitr2 --help:

sqlitr2 is a trivial query tool for SQLite.

Usage: sqlitr2 [FLAGS] path/to/db.sqlite query [QUERY_ARGS]

Examples:
  sqlitr2 --help
  sqlitr2 --version

  # simple select, will print header row
  sqlitr2 ./testdata/example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'

  # same as above, but don't print header row
  sqlitr2 --no-header ./testdata/example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'

  # same query, but the SQLite db is first downloaded from
  # the URL to a temp file, then the query is executed.
  sqlitr2 https://github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2/raw/master/testdata/example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'

  # execute a SQL stmt (note the --exec flag, as opposed to default query behavior)
  sqlitr2 --exec ./testdata/example.sqlite "INSERT INTO actor (actor_id, first_name, last_name) VALUES(11, 'Kubla', 'Khan')"

  # execute a SQL stmt, but supply query args via the command line
  sqlitr2 --exec ./testdata/example.sqlite 'DELETE FROM actor WHERE actor_id = ?' 3

  # create a new DB file
  sqlitr2 --create path/to/db.sqlite


Note that if the SQL is a SELECT or similar query, output is
in TSV (tab-separated) format. To execute a non-query SQL statement
such as INSERT, supply the --exec flag: in that case the count of
rows affected (and the last insert ID if applicable) are printed.

sqlitr2 exists as a demonstration project for neilotoole/xcgo which
is a Go/CGo cross-compiling docker builder image. sqlitr2 makes use of
the https://github.com/mattn/sqlite3 package which uses CGo to
incorporate SQLite.

sqlitr2 was created by Neil O'Toole <neilotoole@apache.org> and is

Usage example, with a remote DB file:

$ sqlitr2 https://github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2/raw/master/testdata/example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'
actor_id	first_name	last_name
1	PENELOPE	GUINESS
2	NICK	WAHLBERG
3	ED	CHASE
4	JENNIFER	DAVIS
5	JOHNNY	LOLLOBRIGIDA
6	BETTE	NICHOLSON
7	GRACE	MOSTEL
8	MATTHEW	JOHANSSON
9	JOE	SWANK
10	CHRISTIAN	GABLE

Installation

This section is the raison d'être of sqlitr2. After any of these methods, run sqlitr2 --version to verify your install.

go get

The usual Go method will work (although without --version info):

go get -u github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2

go install

Or, if you want to install from source (again without --version info):

$ git clone https://github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2.git && cd sqlitr2
$ go install

brew

Install on macOS or Linux via brew (formula)

$ brew tap neilotoole/sqlitr2
$ brew install sqlitr2

scoop

Install on Windows via scoop (manifest)

$ scoop bucket add sqlitr2 https://github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2
$ scoop install sqlitr2

snap

Install on Linux via snap.

$ snap install sqlitr2 

deb

EOF

sudo yum install -y sqlitr2

tarball

Download the appropriate .tar.gz or .zip file from GitHub releases, and extract the binary from the archive.

docker

You can also run sqlitr2 directly from the published docker image:

$ docker run neilotoole/sqlitr2:latest /example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'

^ Note that /example.sqlite is included in the image. You could also use a URL:

$ docker run neilotoole/sqlitr2:latest https://github.com/neilotoole/sqlitr2/raw/master/testdata/example.sqlite 'SELECT * FROM actor'

• sqlitr2 was created to demonstrate neilotoole/xcgo: see that README for upstream acknowledgements.
• testdata/example.sqlite database is a tiny stripped-down version of the Sakila database.
• sqlitr2 employs mattn/go-sqlite3 to demonstrate CGo usage.
• And of course, SQLite itself.
