# sqlite-ecosystem
All the SQLite extensions, tools, and guides that I (Alex Garcia 👋🏼) have written and open sourced.
Feel free to start a discussion in this repo about meta-level SQLite extension and tooling talk! Though if you're having a specific issue with a particular extension or tool, then file an issue in that project's repository.
## Overview
These are all the loadable SQLite extensions I have built, along with which programming language they are written in and where they are distributed.

### Distribution
SQLite extensions have historically been hard to shared with other people. Installing and using them can be tricky and confusing, but these are some strategies I've used to make that easier!
### `pip` for Python Developers
Most of my SQLite extensions are additional placed in a small Python library and distributed on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/). Python developers can then install these extensions with a `pip install` command like so:
```bash
pip install sqlite-regex
```
The actual Python library is small and meant to be used with the builtin `sqlite3` Python module, like so:
```python
import sqlite3
import sqlite_regex
db = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
db.enable_load_extension(True)
sqlite_regex.load(db)
db.execute("select regex_version(), '[abc]' regexp 'a';").fetchone()
# ('v0.1.0', 1)
```
See [_Making SQLite extensions pip install-able
_](https://observablehq.com/@asg017/making-sqlite-extensions-pip-install-able) (February 2023) for more details.
### `npm` for Node.js Developers
These extensions are also distributed on [`npm`](https://npmjs.com/) for use in Node.js. they can be install with a `npm install` command like so:
```bash
npm install sqlite-regex
```
And then used in Node.js programs with [`better-sqlite3`](https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3) or [`node-sqlite3`](https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3) like so:
```js
import Database from "better-sqlite3";
import * as sqlite_regex from "sqlite-regex";
const db = new Database(":memory:");
db.loadExtension(sqlite_regex.getLoadablePath());
const version = db.prepare("select regex_version()").pluck().get();
console.log(version); // "v0.2.0"
```
See [_Making SQLite extensions npm install'able for Node.js, and on deno.land/x for Deno_](https://observablehq.com/@asg017/making-sqlite-extensions-npm-installable-and-deno) (March 2023) for more details.
### `deno.land/x` for Deno Developers
These extensions are also distributed on [`deno.land/x`](https://deno.land/x) for use in [Deno](https://deno.land/) programs. It's meant to work with the [`x/sqlite3`](https://deno.land/x/sqlite3) client like so:
```ts
import { Database } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";
import * as sqlite_regex from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";
const db = new Database(":memory:");
db.enableLoadExtension = true;
sqlite_regex.load(db);
const [version] = db.prepare("select regex_version()").value<[string]>()!;
console.log(version);
```
See [the "Deno" section of _Making SQLite extensions npm install'able for Node.js, and on deno.land/x for Deno_](https://observablehq.com/@asg017/making-sqlite-extensions-npm-installable-and-deno#cell-13) (March 2023) for more details.
### `gem` for ruby Developers
These extensions are also distributed on [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org/) for use in Ruby applications. It's meant to work with the [`sqlite3`](https://rubygems.org/gems/sqlite3) client like so:
```ruby
require 'sqlite3'
require 'sqlite_regex'
db = SQLite3::Database.new(':memory:')
db.enable_load_extension(true)
SqliteRegex.load(db)
db.enable_load_extension(false)
result = db.execute("select regex_version(), '[abc]' regexp 'a';")
puts result.first.first # "v0.2.3-alpha.7"
puts result.first.last # 1
```
See [_Making SQLite extension gem install'able for Ruby Developers_](https://observablehq.com/@asg017/making-sqlite-extension-gem-installable) (June 2023) for more details.
### As Datasette Plugins
Most of these SQLite extensions are also distributed as [Datasette Plugins](https://datasette.io/plugins). They are small wrappers around their corresponding [pip packages](#pip-for-python-developers).
They can be installed like so:
```bash
datasette install datasette-sqlite-regex
```
Now all future Datasette instances will include `sqlite-regex` functions. Here we test it using [`datasette --get`](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/cli-reference.html#datasette-get).
```
$ datasette --get '/_memory.csv?sql=select+regex_version()'
regex_version()
v0.1.0
```
### As sqlite-utils Plugins
Most of these SQLite extensions are also distributed as [sqlite-utils plugins](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html). They are small wrappers around their corresponding [pip packages](#pip-for-python-developers).
They can be installed like so:
```bash
sqlite-utils install sqlite-utils-sqlite-regex
```
Now when using the sqlite-utils CLI, the `sqlite-regex` functions will be available.
```
$ sqlite-utils memory 'select regex_version()'
[{"regex_version()": "v0.2.3"}]
```
## Roadmap
Various extensions and tools that I plan to build and open source in the future! Most of the development of these happen in private repos, to make my life easier.
If you're interested in any of these, just send me a message!
### Future SQLite Extensions
- `sqlite-img`: Query and manipulate images (cropping, thumbnails, rotation, etc.)
- `sqlite-xml`: Query XML documents with XPath strings
- `sqlite-assert`: Make assertions of your data at query-time
- `sqlite-parquet`: Query Parquet files from SQLite
- `sqlite-md`: Query Markdown documents as their AST
- `sqlite-geo`: A GIS extension, a slimmed-down alternative to spatialite
- `sqlite-python`: Write loadable SQLite extensions in pure Python
- `sqlite-qjs`: Create custom scalar, aggregate, and table functions in JavaScript with [QuickJS](https://bellard.org/quickjs/)
- `sqlite-duckdb`: Query and insert data in DuckDB tables, query CSVs/Parquet/JSON with DuckDB
- `sqlite-pg`: Query and insert data into Postgres tables
- `sqlite-notion`: Query and insert data into Notion databases
- `sqlite-google-sheets`: query and insert data into Google Sheet
### Future Extension Bindings
- Elixir
- Rust
- Go
### Future Tooling
- `sqlite-package-manager`: A command-line tool for manage SQLite extensions for your project, similar to npm/pip/brew
- `sqlite-docs`: Document SQLite tables and columns with in-line comments on `CREATE TABLE` statements, like JSDoc/rustdoc/docstrings
- `sqlitex`: A modern `sqlite3` alternative, a new CLI with Parquet/S3 support, a bigger stdlib, syntax highlighting, and more
