Applications can supply their own // page cache implementation by registering a [PageCache] before the // first [sql.Open] via [RegisterPageCache]. See the docstrings // on [PageCache], [Cache], and [Page] for the contract; the binding // owns the sqlite3_pcache_page stub on behalf of the implementation // and re-consults Cache.Fetch on every SQLite request, so a bounded // and evicting purgeable cache works as the C contract intends. // // # OFD locking (Linux) // // On Linux the library can take Open File Description (OFD) locks instead of // POSIX record locks on database files, which stops an unrelated os.File // close anywhere in the process from silently stripping SQLite's transaction // locks. The switch is process-wide, off by default, and must happen before // the first connection is opened: set MODERNC_SQLITE_OFD_LOCK=1 in the // environment the process starts with, or call [OFDLocking] from Go. See the // [OFDLocking] documentation for the full contract. // // # Fragile modernc.org/libc dependency // // When you import this package you should use in your go.mod file the exact // same version of modernc.org/libc as seen in the go.mod file of this // repository. // // See the discussion at https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/177 for more details. // // # Changelog // // Release notes are kept in CHANGELOG.md in the repository root, see // https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md. // // # Thanks // // This project is sponsored by Schleibinger Geräte Teubert u.

I/O-bound work is dominated by the operating // system either way. The ratios below are CPU time per query, measured in // September 2026 on linux/amd64 with Go 1.27 and modernc.org/libc v1.75.7, // against SQLite 3.53.4 compiled with the same compile-time options this // package uses: // // Workload Driver vs C // ------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Unindexed ORDER BY ... LIMIT 100 over 584k rows of 23 columns 2.0x // GROUP BY aggregate over the same table 1.9x // Correlated subquery walking an index with text comparisons 1.3x // // Throughput across four connections scaled at least as well as the C build // did, so the ratios hold under concurrency. // // Two things follow. First, this package uses the same query planner as C // SQLite, so a query that is slow in C is slower here by the ratio above and // no more; but a missing index costs the same ratio more, and a query that is // merely sluggish in C can cross a deadline here. Check EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN for // USE TEMP B-TREE and index the columns that ORDER BY, GROUP BY and WHERE use. // Second, database/sql opens connections without limit by default. Each // connection carries its own page cache and its own libc thread state, and a // periodic query that takes longer than its period piles up without bound. // Bound the pool with [sql.DB.SetMaxOpenConns] and do not issue a periodic // query before the previous one has returned. // // Part of the gap is in modernc.org/libc rather than in the transpiled SQLite. // On Linux, libc versions before v1.75.7 implemented memcpy, memmove, memset // and memcmp as transpiled musl loops moving at most four bytes per step; // v1.75.7 replaced them with native Go routines backed by the runtime's // vectorized memmove, and the three workloads above went from 3.0x, 2.2x and // 1.6x to the figures shown. The libc version this package is validated // against is the one pinned in its go.mod, see "Fragile modernc.org/libc // dependency" above. On the non-Linux targets memcpy and memmove are native Go // copies already; memcmp there is still a byte loop. // // Because everything is Go, the usual Go tooling reaches into the SQLite core: // a CPU profile taken with runtime/pprof attributes time to the transpiled // SQLite functions under their C names, for example lib._balance_nonroot or // lib.Xsqlite3_step, and to the libc routines they call. // // # Builders // // Builder results available at: // // https://modern-c.appspot.com/-/builder/?importpath=modernc.org%2fsqlite // // # Connecting to a database // // To access a Sqlite database do something like // // import ( // "database/sql" // // _ "modernc.org/sqlite" // ) // // ... // // // db, err := sql.Open("sqlite", dsnURI) // // ... // // [NewConnector] is an alternative entry point returning a // [driver.Connector] for use with [sql.OpenDB]. It opens the same // connections sql.Open does, from the same driver, and exists for callers that // need to interpose on them -- tracing, metrics, or connection-scoped setup -- // which sql.Open gives no access to. See its docstring for an example. // // # Debug and development versions // // The transpiled SQLite sources under lib/, and the sqlite-vec sources under // vec/, are not generated in this repository. They are produced by // modernc.org/libsqlite3 and modernc.org/libsqlite_vec respectively, which own // the transpilation and the SQLite compile-time options it uses, and are // copied here by // // $ make vendor // // which reads them from checkouts of those two repositories placed next to // this one. To build a debug or otherwise modified version, adjust the // compile-time options in modernc.org/libsqlite3, regenerate there with 'make // generate', and vendor the result here. // // # Hacking // // This is an example of how to use the debug logs in modernc.org/libc when hunting a bug. // // 0:jnml@e5-1650:~/src/modernc.org/sqlite$ git status // On branch master // Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. // // nothing to commit, working tree clean // 0:jnml@e5-1650:~/src/modernc.org/sqlite$ git log -1 // commit df33b8d15107f3cc777799c0fe105f74ef499e62 (HEAD -> master, tag: v1.21.1, origin/master, origin/HEAD, wips, ok) // Author: Jan Mercl <0xjnml@gmail.com> // Date: Mon Mar 27 16:18:28 2023 +0200 // // upgrade to SQLite 3.41.2 // 0:jnml@e5-1650:~/src/modernc.org/sqlite$ rm -f /tmp/libc.log ; go test -v -tags=libc.dmesg -run TestScalar ; ls -l /tmp/libc.log // test binary compiled for linux/amd64 // === RUN TestScalar // --- PASS: TestScalar (0.09s) // PASS // ok modernc.org/sqlite 0.128s // -rw-r--r-- 1 jnml jnml 76 Apr 6 11:22 /tmp/libc.log // 0:jnml@e5-1650:~/src/modernc.org/sqlite$ cat /tmp/libc.log // [10723 sqlite.test] 2023-04-06 11:22:48.288066057 +0200 CEST m=+0.000707150 // 0:jnml@e5-1650:~/src/modernc.org/sqlite$ // // The /tmp/libc.log file is created as requested.
