  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      stmt.run("Ipsum " + i);
  }
  stmt.finalize();

  db.each("SELECT rowid AS id, info FROM lorem", function(err, row) {
      console.log(row.id + ": " + row.info);
  });
});

db.close();

BUILDING

Make sure you have the sources for sqlite3 installed. Mac OS X ships with these by default. If you don't have them installed, install the -dev package with your package manager, e.g. apt-get install libsqlite3-dev for Debian/Ubuntu. Make sure that you have at least libsqlite3 >= 3.6.

Bulding also requires node-gyp to be installed. You can do this with npm:

npm install -g node-gyp

To obtain and build the bindings:

git clone git://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3.git
cd node-sqlite3
./configure
make

You can also use npm to download and install them:

npm install sqlite3

TESTS

expresso is required to run unit tests.

npm install expresso
make test
