Migrating from crawshaw.io/sqlite

zombiezen.com/go/sqlite is designed to mostly be a drop-in replacement for crawshaw.io/sqlite. However, there are some incompatible API changes. To aid in migrating, I've prepared a program that rewrites Go source code using crawshaw.io/sqlite to use zombiezen.com/go/sqlite.

Installation

go install zombiezen.com/go/sqlite/cmd/zombiezen-sqlite-migrate@latest

Usage

Preview changes with:

zombiezen-sqlite-migrate ./...

And then apply them with:

zombiezen-sqlite-migrate -w ./...

Automatically fixed changes

The zombiezen-sqlite-migrate tool automatically makes a number of mechanical changes beyond changing the import paths to preserve semantics.

• ErrorCode renamed to ResultCode. The crawshaw.io/sqlite.ErrorCode type actually represents a SQLite result code, not just error codes. To better capture this, the new type is named zombiezen.com/go/sqlite.ResultCode.
• Friendlier constant names. The constant names in crawshaw.io/sqlite are written in upper snake case with SQLITE_ prefixed (e.g. sqlite.SQLITE_OK); the constant names in zombiezen.com/go/sqlite are written in upper camel case with the type prefixed (e.g. sqlite.ResultOK).
• sqlitex.File and sqlitex.Buffer are in zombiezen.com/go/sqlite/sqlitefile instead of zombiezen.com/go/sqlite/sqlitex.
• The session API has some symbols renamed for clarity.
• sqlitex.ExecFS will rename to sqlitex.ExecuteFS, sqlitex.ExecTransientFS will rename to sqlitex.ExecuteTransientFS, and sqlitex.ExecScriptFS will rename to sqlitex.ExecuteScriptFS.

Changes that require manual effort

Other usages of the crawshaw.io/sqlite may require manual effort to migrate, but the zombiezen-sqlite-migrate tool will point them out.

Application-Defined Functions

The crawshaw.io/sqlite.Conn.CreateFunction method and supporting APIs like Context and Value have been re-tooled in zombiezen.com/go/sqlite with better ergonomics. See the CreateFunction reference for more details.

Removed Blob methods

zombiezen.com/go/sqlite.Blob does not implement the io.ReaderAt or io.WriterAt interfaces. Technically, neither did crawshaw.io/sqlite.Blob, because it was not safe to call in parallel, which these interfaces require. To avoid these methods being used incorrectly, I removed them.

I also removed the unused embedded interface fields.

No dedicated sqlite.Error type

I don't want to commit to a specific error type in zombiezen.com/go/sqlite, so there I removed the Error type. zombiezen.com/go/sqlite.ErrCode still extracts the ResultCode from an error, which covers most needs.

Authorizer Action

The zombiezen.com/go/sqlite.Action uses accessor methods instead of struct fields. Custom Authorizers will need to be rewritten.
