Installing the `libsql` executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install libsql-shell

It will make the libsql command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall libsql-shell uninstalls.

Back to the crate overview.

Readme

libSQL shell

This project contains libSQL's new shell, implemented in Rust on top of a few industry standard crates: rusqlite, rustyline, clap, tracing, etc.

The long-term goal of this project is to:

Match all features of the original libSQL shell (inherited from SQLite and implemented in C),
Add new features on top, for instance:
- importing and exporting additional formats (Parquet and friends);
- accessing network resources.
Make contributions to libSQL as easy as possible.

Status

This project is still in early development phase, so expect missing items!

Example

$ ./libsql
libSQL version 0.2.0
Connected to a transient in-memory database.

libsql> create table test(id, v);
libsql> insert into test values(42, zeroblob(12));
libsql> insert into test values(3.14, 'hello');
libsql> insert into test values(null, null);
libsql> select id, v, length(v), hex(v) from test;
 id   | v                  | length(v) | hex(v)                   
------+--------------------+-----------+--------------------------
 42   | 0xAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA | 12        | 000000000000000000000000 
 3.14 | hello              | 5         | 68656C6C6F               
 null | null               | null      |
