Cancel a running query: wake any busy handler sleep and interrupt VDBE execution.
This is a superset of interrupt/1 — it sets a cancel flag that the busy and
progress handlers observe, and also calls sqlite3_interrupt(). After a
cancel, the connection can be reused normally.
Use this when a query might be blocked either inside SQLite bytecode execution or inside the busy handler waiting for a lock.
Get the number of changes recently.
Note: If triggers are used, the count may be larger than expected.
Closes the database and releases any underlying resources.
Disconnect from database and then reopen as an in-memory database based on the serialized binary.
Allow loading native extensions.
Executes an sql script. Multiple stanzas can be passed at once.
Interrupt a long-running query.
This calls sqlite3_interrupt() and is effective while SQLite is actively
executing a statement. It does not wake the custom busy handler while the
connection is sleeping and waiting on a lock. Use cancel/1 when you need
to abort both statement execution and busy waits.
Warning
If you are going to interrupt a long running process, it is unsafe to call
close/1 immediately after. You run the risk of undefined behavior. This
is a limitation of the sqlite library itself. Please see the documentation
https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/interrupt.html for more information.
If close must be called after, it is best to put a short sleep in order to let sqlite finish doing its book keeping.
Opens a new sqlite database at the Path provided.
path can be ":memory" to keep the sqlite database in memory.
Options
:mode- controls the flags for sqlite3_open_v2 (see https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html). Defaults to[:readwrite, :create](opens for reading and writing and creates the file if it does not exist).Single modes are permitted:
:readwrite- read/write to the database. Does not create the database if it is not present. Use in combination with:createto create the database if it does not exist.:readonly- read-only (file must exist).:create- creates the database if it does not exist.
Combinations are permitted:
[:readwrite, :create]- read/write + create if needed. This is the default if not specified.[:readonly, :nomutex]
Note:
[:readwrite, :nomutex]is not recommended.
Once finished with the prepared statement, call this to release the underlying resources.
This should be called whenever you are done operating with the prepared statement. If the system has a high load the garbage collector may not clean up the prepared statements in a timely manner and causing higher than normal levels of memory pressure.
If you are operating on limited memory capacity systems, definitely call this.
Resets a prepared statement.
Serialize the contents of the database to a binary.
Set an authorizer that denies specific SQL operations.
Accepts a list of action atoms to deny. Any SQL statement that triggers a denied action will fail with a "not authorized" error during preparation.
Pass an empty list to clear the authorizer.
Action atoms
:attach, :detach, :pragma, :insert, :update, :delete,
:create_table, :drop_table, :create_index, :drop_index,
:create_trigger, :drop_trigger, :create_view, :drop_view,
:alter_table, :reindex, :analyze, :function, :savepoint,
:transaction, :read, :select, :recursive,
:create_temp_table, :create_temp_index, :create_temp_trigger,
:create_temp_view, :drop_temp_table, :drop_temp_index,
:drop_temp_trigger, :drop_temp_view, :create_vtable, :drop_vtable
Examples
# Block ATTACH and DETACH (prevent cross-database reads)
:ok = Sqlite3.set_authorizer(conn, [:attach, :detach])
# Clear the authorizer
:ok = Sqlite3.set_authorizer(conn, [])
Set the busy timeout in milliseconds without destroying the custom busy handler.
Unlike PRAGMA busy_timeout (which internally calls sqlite3_busy_timeout()
and replaces any custom handler), this function only updates the timeout value
that the custom busy handler reads. This preserves the ability to cancel
busy waits via cancel/1.
A timeout of 0 makes lock contention fail immediately with SQLITE_BUSY.
Larger values let SQLite keep retrying until the timeout expires or the wait
is cancelled.
This is the low-level API behind the :busy_timeout connection option.
Send commit notifications to a process.
Each time a transaction is committed on the given connection, the atom
:committed is sent to the pid provided as the second argument.
Passing nil as the second argument unregisters the hook.
Restrictions
- This is a notification-only hook. SQLite allows a commit hook to veto a
commit (turning it into a rollback), but that requires a synchronous
answer that a NIF callback cannot request from the BEAM, so commits are
always allowed through. Use
Exqlite.Sqlite3.transaction_status/1or handle the commit's return value when you need the outcome. - Only one pid can receive the notifications for a given connection at a time. If this function is called multiple times for the same connection, only the last pid will receive the notifications.
- Hooks are unregistered when the connection is closed, so closing a
connection with an open transaction does not emit notifications for the
rollback performed by
close/1.
See sqlite3_commit_hook
for more details.
Send log messages to a process.
Each time a message is logged in SQLite a message will be sent to the pid provided as the argument.
The message is of the form: {:log, rc, message}, where:
rcis an integer result code or an extended result codemessageis a string representing the log message
See SQLITE_CONFIG_LOG and
"The Error And Warning Log" for more details.
Restrictions
- Only one pid can listen to the log messages at a time. If this function is called multiple times, only the last pid will receive the notifications
Send preupdate notifications with full row data to a process.
Before each insert, update, or delete is applied on the given connection, a message is sent to the pid provided as the second argument carrying both the old and the new row, which the update hook cannot provide.
The message is of the form: {action, db_name, table, row_id, old_row, new_row},
where:
actionis one of:insert,:updateor:deletedb_nameis a string representing the database name where the change took place ("main","temp", or the name of an attached database)tableis a string representing the table name where the change took placerow_idis an integer representing the row id assigned by SQLite. It is always0forWITHOUT ROWIDtables and cannot identify a row thereold_rowis the complete row before the change, ornilfor insertsnew_rowis the complete row after the change, ornilfor deletes
Passing nil as the second argument unregisters the hook.
Restrictions
- The hook only fires for changes to real tables. Changes to virtual
tables and to system tables such as
sqlite_sequenceorsqlite_stat1are not reported. - Changes performed by triggers and foreign key actions fire additional preupdate events for the modified tables.
- Only one pid can receive the notifications for a given connection at a time. If this function is called multiple times for the same connection, only the last pid will receive the notifications.
- The preupdate hook requires SQLite compiled with
SQLITE_ENABLE_PREUPDATE_HOOK, which the vendored build enables. When Exqlite is built against a system SQLite without it (EXQLITE_USE_SYSTEM=1, unless the flag is passed viaEXQLITE_SYSTEM_CFLAGS), this function returns{:error, :preupdate_hook_not_supported}.
See sqlite3_preupdate_hook
for more details.
Configure how often SQLite invokes the progress handler during statement execution.
The default is 1000 virtual machine steps.
Values less than 1 disable the progress handler. Larger values reduce the
overhead of cancellation checks at the cost of slower response to cancel/1
and interrupt/1 while a query is running.
This is the low-level API behind the :progress_handler_steps connection
option.
Send rollback notifications to a process.
Each time a transaction is rolled back on the given connection, the atom
:rolled_back is sent to the pid provided as the second argument.
Passing nil as the second argument unregisters the hook.
Restrictions
- The rollback performed by
close/1(or by connection teardown) on an open transaction does not emit a notification, because hooks are unregistered before teardown begins. - Only one pid can receive the notifications for a given connection at a time. If this function is called multiple times for the same connection, only the last pid will receive the notifications.
See sqlite3_rollback_hook
for more details.
Send data change notifications to a process.
Each time an insert, update, or delete is performed on the connection provided as the first argument, a message will be sent to the pid provided as the second argument.
The message is of the form: {action, db_name, table, row_id}, where:
actionis one of:insert,:updateor:deletedb_nameis a string representing the database name where the change took placetableis a string representing the table name where the change took placerow_idis an integer representing the unique row id assigned by SQLite
Restrictions
- There are some conditions where the update hook will not be invoked by SQLite. See the documentation for more details
- Only one pid can listen to the changes on a given database connection at a time. If this function is called multiple times for the same connection, only the last pid will receive the notifications
- Updates only happen for the connection that is opened. For example, there are two connections A and B. When an update happens on connection B, the hook set for connection A will not receive the update, but the hook for connection B will receive the update.
Causes the database connection to free as much memory as it can. This is useful if you are on a memory restricted system.
