what is best (SQLite?) @small @local @offline database library to use in D?

and also what about a simple GUI library ? (once there was a library named DFL, but i never could get it to run).

As you proposed SQLite makes sense. My personal preference is the wrapper from Adam you can find here https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/sqlite.d

Do you want to run on a specific OS only or should it run on multiple OS?

There is also the Learn forum which fits better for beginner questions.

Kind regards

I've used sqlite3 library:

http://code.dlang.org/packages/sqlite3

and it has worked well for me. Documentation is brief, but has a clean API and relatively easy to use.  However, there is small bug in the support for floating point values if you need that.  I submitted a patch but don't think it has made its way into the main repository.

I've been using SQLite for this type of usage, and it's served me pretty well.  I've been using Adam Ruppe's SQLite bindings:

	https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/sqlite.d

which is very nice, lightweight, and doesn't have heavy dependencies (all you need is database.d and sqlite.d, plop them into a subdirectory called arsd, and then just `import arsd.sqlite` and you're all set to go).

Recently, though, I decided to write my own bindings due to certain design decisions in Adam's sqlite.d that made it a little awkward to use for my particular application.  My bindings are now usable for basic database operation and have a rather nice API, if I do say so myself (well, it is modelled after Adam's sqlite.d which already has a nice and simple API), but feature-wise it's still quite bare (doesn't support precompiled SQL statements yet).

The current main features are:

- Basic database operation: open a database file, execute SQL
  statements (on par with Adam's sqlite.d).

- Automatic binding (on par with Adam's sqlite.d), e.g.:
	long id = 123;
	string name = "abc";
	auto rs = db.query("SELECT * FROM product WHERE id=? AND name=?",
			id, name);

- Supports binding floating-point values.

- Supports binary blobs in the form of ubyte[].

- Supports integers up to signed 64-bit (long).

- Supports nested transactions (via SAVEPOINT and RELEASE).

- Range-based API for iterating over result sets.

- Convenient automatic conversions to/from SQLite data types, e.g.:

	float maxPrice = 100.00;
	auto rs = db.query("SELECT count, price FROM product WHERE price < ?",
			maxPrice);
	foreach (row; rs)
	{
		int count = row[0].to!int;
		float price = row[1].to!float;
	}

- Fully-automated transcription of result sets to array of structs, or
  individual rows to structs, and convenience functions for extracting
  single-column result sets into an array of scalar values, or
  individual single-column rows into scalar values. Example:

  	struct S {
		int name;
		float price;
		ubyte[] image; // BLOB
	}

	// Transcribe individual rows to struct
	foreach (row; db.query("SELECT name,price,image FROM product"))
	{
		S s = row.to!S;
	}

	// Transcribe entire result set to array of structs
	S[] results = db.query("SELECT name,price,image FROM product")
			.to!(S[]);


If you wish, I can give you a copy of the code -- it's just a single file that you can import directly, no other dependencies besides the SQLite library itself.  It's not quite in the shape to be posted to a public repository like github just yet, but depending on what you need, it might be good enough.

i downloaded the whole arsd and unzipped to folder that my main.d is.

and main.d contents are:

i get this error:

the os i use is Windows7 (dual boot with ubuntu but mainly on windows7)
also i tried several libraries. i couldn't run any database or gui libraries correctly so far.
dlangui was the only gui library that i was able to run correctly.
im interested in DFL and Entice designer (never be able to run them either)

That means you didn't link in the module.

The way I recommend doing it is listing them all on the command line:

dmd yourfile.d database.d sqlite.d

or if you put them in an arsd folder (optional)

dmd yourfile.d arsd\database.d arsd\sqlite.d



For sqlite, you also will need a sqlite.lib in the current directory or it will list a lot of Symbol Undefined like _sqlite3_open etc. And at runtime, you will need the sqlite.dll file along with your exe.

This is probably your general problem: you need to link in those libs too.

Here's the sqlite3.lib and dll too if you don't already have them:

http://arsdnet.net/dcode/sqlite3.lib
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/sqlite3.dll

just download them to the folder with your program.

These are just for Windows btw (and for that, only 32 bit. if you are building 64 bit that is different, I have never used sqlite on 64 bit windows. but 32 bit is usually good enough anyway)

On Linux, you just need to make sure the sqlite3-devel package is installed. I think that's what it is called too, so apt-get install sqlite3-devel. if not it might suggest the right name

I'm open to extensions and PRs... I don't remember if we have already talked about this but if not email me destructionator@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't merge again.

I know you have had some trouble with the classes before, maybe we can work out a more deterministic design there.

You have to pass all source files you wish to compile to dmd.

yes, it is very good looking API. interesting
i downloaded and extracted files into my main.d file directory
this is main.d content:

when i run :

i get this error:

what to do ?
i also downloaded new dmd but nothing seems going well.
