LibSQL package for Go

libSQL is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite. This source repository contains libSQL API bindings for Go.

Notice

This package comes with a precompiled native libraries. Currently only darwin amd64 and darwin arm64 are supported. We're working on adding support for more platforms.

Features

  • In-memory databases and local database files, like SQLite
  • Remote database access to libSQL server
  • In-app replica that syncs with a libSQL server

Installing

go get github.com/tursodatabase/go-libsql

go-libsql uses CGO to make calls to LibSQL. You must build your binaries with CGO_ENABLED=1.

Getting Started

Connecting to the database

To connect to the database one needs to create a libsql.Connector using one of the factory functions: libsql.NewEmbeddedReplicaConnector or libsql.NewEmbeddedReplicaConnectorWithAutoSync.

Here's an example of obtaining a sql.DB object from database/sql package:

dbPath := // Path do db file on local disk
primaryUrl := // URL to primary database instance
connector := NewEmbeddedReplicaConnector(dbPath, primaryUrl, authToken)
db := sql.OpenDB(connector)
defer db.Close()

Once sql.DB object is created one can use it as any other database that supports database/sql package.

Fetching updates from primary database instance

If the connector is created with libsql.NewEmbeddedReplicaConnectorWithAutoSync then it will automatically fetch updates from a primary periodically.

For connectors created with libsql.NewEmbeddedReplicaConnector we need to fetch updates manually by calling connector.Sync

Examples

Module with usage examples can be found in example directory.
