在Lua用luasql-sqlite3库访问SQLite数据库

用luarocks包管理器安装，注意库名是luasql-sqlite3，另一个相近的库luasql-sqlite会报缺少sqlite.h头文件错误。

luarocks install luasql-sqlite
Installing https://luarocks.org/luasql-sqlite-2.6.0-3.src.rockError: Could not find header file for SQLITENo file sqlite.h in /usr/local/includeNo file sqlite.h in /usr/includeNo file sqlite.h in /include
You may have to install SQLITE in your system and/or pass SQLITE_DIR or SQLITE_INCDIR to the luarocks command.
Example: luarocks install luasql-sqlite SQLITE_DIR=/usr/localwhereis sqlite.h
sqlite.h:
whereis sqlite3.h
sqlite3.h: /usr/include/sqlite3.h

安装，卡在克隆阶段，从现象看是连接github超时

luarocks install luasql-sqlite3

内容如下

package = "LuaSQL-SQLite3"
version = "2.7.0-1"
source = {url = "git+https://github.com/lunarmodules/luasql.git",branch = "2.7.0",
}
description = {summary = "Database connectivity for Lua (SQLite3 driver)",detailed = [[LuaSQL is a simple interface from Lua to a DBMS. It enables aLua program to connect to databases, execute arbitrary SQL statementsand retrieve results in a row-by-row cursor fashion.]],license = "MIT/X11",homepage = "https://lunarmodules.github.io/luasql/"
}
dependencies = {"lua >= 5.1"
}
external_dependencies = {SQLITE = {header = "sqlite3.h"}
}
build = {type = "builtin",modules = {["luasql.sqlite3"] = {sources = { "src/luasql.c", "src/ls_sqlite3.c" },libraries = { "sqlite3" },incdirs = { "$(SQLITE_INCDIR)" },libdirs = { "$(SQLITE_LIBDIR)" }}}
}

将url改为能连上的地址比如url = "git+https://bgithub.xyz/lunarmodules/luasql.git",重新安装这个脚本,就能顺利克隆继续编译了。

使用
luasql-sqlite3没有专门的示例，在http://lunarmodules.github.io/luasql/examples.html找到一个postgreSQL示例，将相关的数据库字符串改为SQLite3就能执行了。

-- load driver
local driver = require "luasql.postgres"  --修改为local driver = require "luasql.sqlite3" 
-- create environment object
env = assert (driver.postgres()) --修改为env = assert (driver.sqlite3())
-- connect to data source
con = assert (env:connect("luasql-test"))
-- reset our table
res = con:execute"DROP TABLE people"
res = assert (con:execute[[CREATE TABLE people(name  varchar(50),email varchar(50))
]])
-- add a few elements
list = {{ name="Jose das Couves", email="[e-mail]", },{ name="Manoel Joaquim", email="[e-mail]", },{ name="Maria das Dores", email="[e-mail]", },
}
for i, p in pairs (list) dores = assert (con:execute(string.format([[INSERT INTO peopleVALUES ('%s', '%s')]], p.name, p.email)))
end
-- retrieve a cursor
cur = assert (con:execute"SELECT name, email from people")
-- print all rows, the rows will be indexed by field names
row = cur:fetch ({}, "a")
while row doprint(string.format("Name: %s, E-mail: %s", row.name, row.email))-- reusing the table of resultsrow = cur:fetch (row, "a")
end
-- close everything
cur:close() -- already closed because all the result set was consumed
con:close()
env:close()

执行，成功地写入并读取出了数据。
