+
+Rusqlite is an ergonomic wrapper for using SQLite from Rust. It attempts to expose
+an interface similar to [rust-postgres](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres).
+
+```rust
+use rusqlite::{params, Connection, Result};
+
+#[derive(Debug)]
+struct Person {
+ id: i32,
+ name: String,
+ data: Option<Vec<u8>>,
+}
+
+fn main() -> Result<()> {
+ let conn = Connection::open_in_memory()?;
+
+ conn.execute(
+ "CREATE TABLE person (
+ id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+ name TEXT NOT NULL,
+ data BLOB
+ )",
+ params![],
+ )?;
+ let me = Person {
+ id: 0,
+ name: "Steven".to_string(),
+ data: None,
+ };
+ conn.execute(
+ "INSERT INTO person (name, data) VALUES (?1, ?2)",
+ params![me.name, me.data],
+ )?;
+
+ let mut stmt = conn.prepare("SELECT id, name, data FROM person")?;
+ let person_iter = stmt.query_map(params![], |row| {
+ Ok(Person {
+ id: row.get(0)?,
+ name: row.get(1)?,
+ data: row.get(2)?,
+ })
+ })?;
+
+ for person in person_iter {
+ println!("Found person {:?}", person.unwrap());
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Supported SQLite Versions
+
+The base `rusqlite` package supports SQLite version 3.6.8 or newer. If you need
+support for older versions, please file an issue. Some cargo features require a
+newer SQLite version; see details below.
+
+### Optional Features
+
+Rusqlite provides several features that are behind [Cargo
+features](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-features-section). They are:
+
+* [`load_extension`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/struct.LoadExtensionGuard.html)
+ allows loading dynamic library-based SQLite extensions.
+* [`backup`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/backup/index.html)
+ allows use of SQLite's online backup API. Note: This feature requires SQLite 3.6.11 or later.
+* [`functions`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/functions/index.html)
+ allows you to load Rust closures into SQLite connections for use in queries.
+ Note: This feature requires SQLite 3.7.3 or later.
+* [`trace`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/trace/index.html)
+ allows hooks into SQLite's tracing and profiling APIs. Note: This feature
+ requires SQLite 3.6.23 or later.
+* [`blob`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/blob/index.html)
+ gives `std::io::{Read, Write, Seek}` access to SQL BLOBs. Note: This feature
+ requires SQLite 3.7.4 or later.
+* [`limits`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/struct.Connection.html#method.limit)
+ allows you to set and retrieve SQLite's per connection limits.
+* `chrono` implements [`FromSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.FromSql.html)
+ and [`ToSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.ToSql.html) for various
+ types from the [`chrono` crate](https://crates.io/crates/chrono).
+* `serde_json` implements [`FromSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.FromSql.html)
+ and [`ToSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.ToSql.html) for the
+ `Value` type from the [`serde_json` crate](https://crates.io/crates/serde_json).
+* `url` implements [`FromSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.FromSql.html)
+ and [`ToSql`](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/~0/rusqlite/types/trait.ToSql.html) for the
+ `Url` type from the [`url` crate](https://crates.io/crates/url).
+* `bundled` uses a bundled version of sqlite3. This is a good option for cases where linking to sqlite3 is complicated, such as Windows.
+* `sqlcipher` looks for the SQLCipher library to link against instead of SQLite. This feature is mutually exclusive with `bundled`.
+* `hooks` for [Commit, Rollback](http://sqlite.org/c3ref/commit_hook.html) and [Data Change](http://sqlite.org/c3ref/update_hook.html) notification callbacks.
+* `unlock_notify` for [Unlock](https://sqlite.org/unlock_notify.html) notification.
+* `vtab` for [virtual table](https://sqlite.org/vtab.html) support (allows you to write virtual table implemntations in Rust). Currently, only read-only virtual tables are supported.
+* [`csvtab`](https://sqlite.org/csv.html), CSV virtual table written in Rust.
+* [`array`](https://sqlite.org/carray.html), The `rarray()` Table-Valued Function.
+* `i128_blob` allows storing values of type `i128` type in SQLite databases. Internally, the data is stored as a 16 byte big-endian blob, with the most significant bit flipped, which allows ordering and comparison between different blobs storing i128s to work as expected.
+* `uuid` allows storing and retrieving `Uuid` values from the [`uuid`](https://docs.rs/uuid/) crate using blobs.
+* [`session`](https://sqlite.org/sessionintro.html), Session module extension. Requires `buildtime_bindgen` feature.
+
+## Notes on building rusqlite and libsqlite3-sys
+
+`libsqlite3-sys` is a separate crate from `rusqlite` that provides the Rust
+declarations for SQLite's C API. By default, `libsqlite3-sys` attempts to find a SQLite library that already exists on your system using pkg-config, or a
+[Vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) installation for MSVC ABI builds.
+
+You can adjust this behavior in a number of ways:
+
+* If you use the `bundled` feature, `libsqlite3-sys` will use the
+ [cc](https://crates.io/crates/cc) crate to compile SQLite from source and
+ link against that. This source is embedded in the `libsqlite3-sys` crate and
+ is currently SQLite 3.30.1 (as of `rusqlite` 0.21.0 / `libsqlite3-sys`
+ 0.17.0). This is probably the simplest solution to any build problems. You can enable this by adding the following in your `Cargo.toml` file:
+ ```toml
+ [dependencies.rusqlite]
+ version = "0.21.0"
+ features = ["bundled"]
+ ```
+* You can set the `SQLITE3_LIB_DIR` to point to directory containing the SQLite
+ library.
+* Installing the sqlite3 development packages will usually be all that is required, but
+ the build helpers for [pkg-config](https://github.com/alexcrichton/pkg-config-rs)
+ and [vcpkg](https://github.com/mcgoo/vcpkg-rs) have some additional configuration
+ options. The default when using vcpkg is to dynamically link,
+ which must be enabled by setting `VCPKGRS_DYNAMIC=1` environment variable before build.
+ `vcpkg install sqlite3:x64-windows` will install the required library.
+
+### Binding generation
+
+We use [bindgen](https://crates.io/crates/bindgen) to generate the Rust
+declarations from SQLite's C header file. `bindgen`
+[recommends](https://github.com/servo/rust-bindgen#library-usage-with-buildrs)
+running this as part of the build process of libraries that used this. We tried
+this briefly (`rusqlite` 0.10.0, specifically), but it had some annoyances:
+
+* The build time for `libsqlite3-sys` (and therefore `rusqlite`) increased
+ dramatically.
+* Running `bindgen` requires a relatively-recent version of Clang, which many
+ systems do not have installed by default.
+* Running `bindgen` also requires the SQLite header file to be present.
+
+As of `rusqlite` 0.10.1, we avoid running `bindgen` at build-time by shipping
+pregenerated bindings for several versions of SQLite. When compiling
+`rusqlite`, we use your selected Cargo features to pick the bindings for the
+minimum SQLite version that supports your chosen features. If you are using
+`libsqlite3-sys` directly, you can use the same features to choose which
+pregenerated bindings are chosen:
+
+* `min_sqlite_version_3_6_8` - SQLite 3.6.8 bindings (this is the default)
+* `min_sqlite_version_3_6_23` - SQLite 3.6.23 bindings
+* `min_sqlite_version_3_7_7` - SQLite 3.7.7 bindings
+
+If you use the `bundled` feature, you will get pregenerated bindings for the
+bundled version of SQLite. If you need other specific pregenerated binding
+versions, please file an issue. If you want to run `bindgen` at buildtime to
+produce your own bindings, use the `buildtime_bindgen` Cargo feature.
+
+If you enable the `modern_sqlite` feature, we'll use the bindings we would have
+included with the bundled build. You generally should have `buildtime_bindgen`
+enabled if you turn this on, as otherwise you'll need to keep the version of
+SQLite you link with in sync with what rusqlite would have bundled, (usually the
+most recent release of sqlite). Failing to do this will cause a runtime error.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Rusqlite has many features, and many of them impact the build configuration in
+incompatible ways. This is unfortunate, and makes testing changes hard.
+
+To help here: you generally should ensure that you run tests/lint for
+`--features bundled`, and `--features bundled-full session buildtime_bindgen`.
+
+If running bindgen is problematic for you, `--features bundled-full` enables
+bundled and all features which don't require binding generation, and can be used
+instead.
+
+### Checklist
+
+- Run `cargo fmt` to ensure your Rust code is correctly formatted.
+- Ensure `cargo clippy --all-targets --workspace --features bundled` passes without warnings.
+- Ensure `cargo test --all-targets --workspace --features bundled-full session buildtime_bindgen` reports no failures.
+- Ensure `cargo test --all-targets --workspace --features bundled` reports no failures.
+- Ensure `cargo test --all-targets --workspace --features bundled-full session buildtime_bindgen` reports no failures.
