Connecting a Node.js Application to an SQLite Database Using sqlite3

Tutorial October 24, 2024

// app.js

const sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();

// Connect to the SQLite database (creates the file if it doesn't exist)
const db = new sqlite3.Database('your_database_name.db', (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error opening database:', err.message);
  } else {
    console.log('Connected to the SQLite database.');
  }
});

// Serialize ensures that the queries are executed sequentially
db.serialize(() => {
  // Create the "accounts" table
  db.run(`
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS accounts (
      private_key TEXT,
      address TEXT,
      decimalNumber TEXT,
      has_transactions BOOLEAN
    )
  `, (err) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error('Error creating table:', err.message);
    } else {
      console.log('Table "accounts" created or already exists.');
    }
  });

  // Insert data into the "accounts" table
  const stmt = db.prepare('INSERT INTO accounts (private_key, address, decimalNumber, has_transactions) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)');

  stmt.run('private_key_value', 'address_value', 'decimalNumber_value', 1, function(err) {
    if (err) {
      console.error('Error inserting data:', err.message);
    } else {
      console.log(`A row has been inserted with rowid ${this.lastID}`);
    }
  });

  stmt.finalize();

  // Retrieve data from the "accounts" table
  db.each('SELECT * FROM accounts', (err, row) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error('Error retrieving data:', err.message);
    } else {
      console.log(`Private Key: ${row.private_key}`);
      console.log(`Address: ${row.address}`);
      console.log(`Decimal Number: ${row.decimalNumber}`);
      console.log(`Has Transactions: ${row.has_transactions}`);
      console.log('---------------------------');
    }
  });
});

// Close the database connection
db.close((err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error closing the database connection:', err.message);
  } else {
    console.log('Database connection closed.');
  }
});

When working with databases, especially those storing sensitive information like private keys, adhering to security best practices is essential.
