Struct rusqlite::Connection

pub struct Connection { /* fields omitted */ }

A connection to a SQLite database.

Methods

impl Connection

pub fn transaction(&mut self) -> Result<Transaction>

Begin a new transaction with the default behavior (DEFERRED).

The transaction defaults to rolling back when it is dropped. If you want the transaction to commit, you must call commit or set_drop_behavior(DropBehavior::Commit).

Example

fn perform_queries(conn: &mut Connection) -> Result<()> {
    let tx = try!(conn.transaction());

    try!(do_queries_part_1(&tx)); // tx causes rollback if this fails
    try!(do_queries_part_2(&tx)); // tx causes rollback if this fails

    tx.commit()
}

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn transaction_with_behavior(
    &mut self,
    behavior: TransactionBehavior
) -> Result<Transaction>

Begin a new transaction with a specified behavior.

See transaction.

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn savepoint(&mut self) -> Result<Savepoint>

Begin a new savepoint with the default behavior (DEFERRED).

The savepoint defaults to rolling back when it is dropped. If you want the savepoint to commit, you must call commit or set_drop_behavior(DropBehavior::Commit).

Example

fn perform_queries(conn: &mut Connection) -> Result<()> {
    let sp = try!(conn.savepoint());

    try!(do_queries_part_1(&sp)); // sp causes rollback if this fails
    try!(do_queries_part_2(&sp)); // sp causes rollback if this fails

    sp.commit()
}

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn savepoint_with_name<T: Into<String>>(
    &mut self,
    name: T
) -> Result<Savepoint>

Begin a new savepoint with a specified name.

See savepoint.

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite call fails.

impl Connection

pub fn prepare_cached<'a>(&'a self, sql: &str) -> Result<CachedStatement<'a>>

Prepare a SQL statement for execution, returning a previously prepared (but not currently in-use) statement if one is available. The returned statement will be cached for reuse by future calls to prepare_cached once it is dropped.

fn insert_new_people(conn: &Connection) -> Result<()> {
    {
        let mut stmt = try!(conn.prepare_cached("INSERT INTO People (name) VALUES (?)"));
        try!(stmt.execute(&[&"Joe Smith"]));
    }
    {
        // This will return the same underlying SQLite statement handle without
        // having to prepare it again.
        let mut stmt = try!(conn.prepare_cached("INSERT INTO People (name) VALUES (?)"));
        try!(stmt.execute(&[&"Bob Jones"]));
    }
    Ok(())
}

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn set_prepared_statement_cache_capacity(&self, capacity: usize)

Set the maximum number of cached prepared statements this connection will hold. By default, a connection will hold a relatively small number of cached statements. If you need more, or know that you will not use cached statements, you can set the capacity manually using this method.

pub fn flush_prepared_statement_cache(&self)

impl Connection

pub fn limit(&self, limit: Limit) -> i32

Returns the current value of a limit.

pub fn set_limit(&self, limit: Limit, new_val: i32) -> i32

Changes the limit to new_val, returning the prior value of the limit.

impl Connection

pub fn open<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Connection>

Open a new connection to a SQLite database.

Connection::open(path) is equivalent to Connection::open_with_flags(path, SQLITE_OPEN_READ_WRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE).

Failure

Will return Err if path cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite open call fails.

pub fn open_in_memory() -> Result<Connection>

Open a new connection to an in-memory SQLite database.

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite open call fails.

pub fn open_with_flags<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    path: P,
    flags: OpenFlags
) -> Result<Connection>

Open a new connection to a SQLite database.

Database Connection for a description of valid flag combinations.

Failure

Will return Err if path cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite open call fails.

pub fn open_in_memory_with_flags(flags: OpenFlags) -> Result<Connection>

Open a new connection to an in-memory SQLite database.

Database Connection for a description of valid flag combinations.

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite open call fails.

pub fn execute_batch(&self, sql: &str) -> Result<()>

Convenience method to run multiple SQL statements (that cannot take any parameters).

Uses sqlite3_exec under the hood.

Example

fn create_tables(conn: &Connection) -> Result<()> {
    conn.execute_batch("BEGIN;
                        CREATE TABLE foo(x INTEGER);
                        CREATE TABLE bar(y TEXT);
                        COMMIT;")
}

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn execute(&self, sql: &str, params: &[&ToSql]) -> Result<c_int>

Convenience method to prepare and execute a single SQL statement.

On success, returns the number of rows that were changed or inserted or deleted (via sqlite3_changes).

Example

fn update_rows(conn: &Connection) {
    match conn.execute("UPDATE foo SET bar = 'baz' WHERE qux = ?", &[&1i32]) {
        Ok(updated) => println!("{} rows were updated", updated),
        Err(err) => println!("update failed: {}", err),
    }
}

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn execute_named(
    &self,
    sql: &str,
    params: &[(&str, &ToSql)]
) -> Result<c_int>

Convenience method to prepare and execute a single SQL statement with named parameter(s).

On success, returns the number of rows that were changed or inserted or deleted (via sqlite3_changes).

Example

fn insert(conn: &Connection) -> Result<i32> {
    conn.execute_named("INSERT INTO test (name) VALUES (:name)", &[(":name", &"one")])
}

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn last_insert_rowid(&self) -> i64

Get the SQLite rowid of the most recent successful INSERT.

Uses sqlite3_last_insert_rowid under the hood.

pub fn query_row<T, F>(&self, sql: &str, params: &[&ToSql], f: F) -> Result<T> where
    F: FnOnce(&Row) -> T, 

Convenience method to execute a query that is expected to return a single row.

Example

fn preferred_locale(conn: &Connection) -> Result<String> {
    conn.query_row("SELECT value FROM preferences WHERE name='locale'", &[], |row| {
        row.get(0)
    })
}

If the query returns more than one row, all rows except the first are ignored.

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn query_row_named<T, F>(
    &self,
    sql: &str,
    params: &[(&str, &ToSql)],
    f: F
) -> Result<T> where
    F: FnOnce(&Row) -> T, 

Convenience method to execute a query with named parameter(s) that is expected to return a single row.

If the query returns more than one row, all rows except the first are ignored.

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn query_row_and_then<T, E, F>(
    &self,
    sql: &str,
    params: &[&ToSql],
    f: F
) -> Result<T, E> where
    F: FnOnce(&Row) -> Result<T, E>,
    E: From<Error>, 

Convenience method to execute a query that is expected to return a single row, and execute a mapping via f on that returned row with the possibility of failure. The Result type of f must implement std::convert::From<Error>.

Example

fn preferred_locale(conn: &Connection) -> Result<String> {
    conn.query_row_and_then("SELECT value FROM preferences WHERE name='locale'",
                            &[],
                            |row| {
        row.get_checked(0)
    })
}

If the query returns more than one row, all rows except the first are ignored.

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn query_row_safe<T, F>(
    &self,
    sql: &str,
    params: &[&ToSql],
    f: F
) -> Result<T> where
    F: FnOnce(&Row) -> T, 

Deprecated since 0.1.0

: Use query_row instead

Convenience method to execute a query that is expected to return a single row.

Example

fn preferred_locale(conn: &Connection) -> Result<String> {
    conn.query_row_safe("SELECT value FROM preferences WHERE name='locale'", &[], |row| {
        row.get(0)
    })
}

If the query returns more than one row, all rows except the first are ignored.

Deprecated

This method should be considered deprecated. Use query_row instead, which now does exactly the same thing.

pub fn prepare<'a>(&'a self, sql: &str) -> Result<Statement<'a>>

Prepare a SQL statement for execution.

Example

fn insert_new_people(conn: &Connection) -> Result<()> {
    let mut stmt = try!(conn.prepare("INSERT INTO People (name) VALUES (?)"));
    try!(stmt.execute(&[&"Joe Smith"]));
    try!(stmt.execute(&[&"Bob Jones"]));
    Ok(())
}

Failure

Will return Err if sql cannot be converted to a C-compatible string or if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub fn close(self) -> Result<(), (Connection, Error)>

Close the SQLite connection.

This is functionally equivalent to the Drop implementation for Connection except that on failure, it returns an error and the connection itself (presumably so closing can be attempted again).

Failure

Will return Err if the underlying SQLite call fails.

pub unsafe fn handle(&self) -> *mut sqlite3

Get access to the underlying SQLite database connection handle.

Warning

You should not need to use this function. If you do need to, please open an issue on the rusqlite repository and describe your use case. This function is unsafe because it gives you raw access to the SQLite connection, and what you do with it could impact the safety of this Connection.
