# DuckDB.Dart

**DuckDB.Dart** is the native Dart API for [DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/), enabling developers to harness the power of DuckDB in Dart-based applications across Apple, iOS, Android, Linux, and Windows platforms.

## DuckDB Overview

DuckDB is a high-performance analytical database system known for its speed, reliability, and ease of use. It supports a comprehensive SQL dialect, offering features such as:

- Arbitrary and nested correlated subqueries
- Window functions
- Collations
- Complex types (arrays, structs)

For more information on DuckDB's goals and capabilities, visit the [Why DuckDB page](https://duckdb.org/why_duckdb).

## Building DuckDB.dart

- Setup Dart SDK, [Getting Started](https://dart.dev/get-dart)
- Install FVM, [Getting Started](https://fvm.app/documentation/getting-started/installation)
- Run Flutter Doctor to ensure everything is setup correctly. `fvm flutter doctor`
- `make build`

### Android Builds

- Android Studio is required to build the Android binaries, [Install Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio).
- JDK 17 is required to build the Android binaries.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to install JDK 17 using SDKMAN:

1. First, install SDKMAN if you haven't already:
```bash
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
```

2. Open a new terminal or source SDKMAN in your current terminal:
```bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
```

3. Verify SDKMAN is installed:
```bash
sdk version
```

4. List available Java versions:
```bash
sdk list java
```

5. Install JDK 17 (you can choose between different distributions like Oracle, Amazon Corretto, Eclipse Temurin, etc.):

Note: The exact version numbers might change over time. Use `sdk list java` to see the latest available versions.

For Temurin (OpenJ9):
```bash
sdk install java 17.0.12-tem
```

6. Verify the installation:
```bash
java -version
```

7. Set JDK 17 as default (optional):
```bash
sdk default java 17.0.12-tem
```

*Note:* If you see
`"Could not resolve all files for configuration ':dart_duckdb:androidJdkImage'"`

try configuring flutter
```
flutter config --jdk-dir=PATH_TO_JDK_17
```

## Usage Examples

Here are some common use cases for DuckDB.Dart:

### Querying a Database

```dart
import 'package:dart_duckdb/dart_duckdb.dart';

void main() {
final db = duckdb.open(":memory:");
final connection = duckdb.connect(db);

connection.execute('''
CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR, age INTEGER);
INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice', 30), (2, 'Bob', 25);
''');

final result = connection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 28").fetchAll();

for (final row in result) {
print(row);
}

connection.dispose();
db.dispose();
}
```

### Queries on background Isolates

```dart
import 'package:dart_duckdb/dart_duckdb.dart';

void main() {
final db = duckdb.open(":memory:");
final connection = duckdb.connect(db);

await Isolate.spawn(backgroundTask, db.transferrable);

connection.dispose();
db.dispose();
}

void backgroundTask(TransferableDatabase transferableDb) {
final connection = duckdb.connectWithTransferred(transferableDb);
// Access database ...
// fetch is needed to send the data back to the main isolate
}

```
