Example of creating a table, inserting rows, and reading rows from a sqlite3 database

Node.js

const sqlite3 = require("sqlite3").verbose();
const db = new sqlite3.Database("./sqlite3.db");

db.serialize(() => {
  db.run("CREATE TABLE persons (name TEXT)");

  const stmt = db.prepare("INSERT INTO persons VALUES (?)");
  const names = ["alice", "bob", "charlie"];
  for (let i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
    stmt.run(names[i]);
  }

  stmt.finalize();

  db.each("SELECT rowid AS id, name FROM persons", (err, row) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }

    console.log(row.id, row.name);
  });
});

db.close();

Output

1 'alice'
2 'bob'
3 'charlie'

Go

package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"

	_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
)

func main() {
	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", "./sqlite3.db")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer db.Close()

	_, err = db.Exec("CREATE TABLE persons (name TEXT)")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	tx, err := db.Begin()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	stmt, err := tx.Prepare("INSERT INTO persons VALUES (?)")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer stmt.Close()

	names := []string{"alice", "bob", "charlie"}

	for _, name := range names {
		_, err := stmt.Exec(name)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
	tx.Commit()

	rows, err := db.Query("SELECT rowid AS id, name FROM persons")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer rows.Close()

	for rows.Next() {
		var id int
		var name string
		err = rows.Scan(&id, &name)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
		fmt.Println(id, name)
	}

	err = rows.Err()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Output

1 alice
2 bob
3 charlie
