Usage Examples

Here are some common use cases for DuckDB.Dart:

Querying a Database

import 'package:dart_duckdb/dart_duckdb.dart';

void main() {
  final db = duckdb.open(":memory:");
  final connection = db.connect();

  connection.execute('''
    CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR, age INTEGER);
    INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice', 30), (2, 'Bob', 25);
  ''');

  final result = connection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 28").fetchAll();

  for (final row in result) {
    print(row);
  }

  connection.close();
  db.close();
}

Queries on background Isolates

import 'package:dart_duckdb/dart_duckdb.dart';

void main() {
  final db = duckdb.open(":memory:");
  final connection = db.connect();

  await Isolate.spawn(backgroundTask, db.transferrable);

  connection.close();
  db.close();
}

void backgroundTask(TransferableDatabase transferableDb) {
  final connection = duckdb.connectWithTransferred(transferableDb);
  // Access database ...
  // fetch is needed to send the data back to the main isolate
}
