db module + SQLite driver + 'ON CONFLICT' = syntax error

[David Storrs]

I'm having trouble with using the the 'ON CONFLICT' clause with a SQLite database.  Example:

> (query-exec db "drop table if exists peers")
> (query-exec db "create table if not exists peers (name text)")
> (query-exec db "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1)" "hqwt")
> (query-rows db "SELECT * FROM peers")
'(#("hqwt"))
> (query-exec db "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1) ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING" "hqwt")
; query-exec: near "ON": syntax error
;   error code: 1
; [,bt for context]

I thought maybe there was some issue with the column not being marked UNIQUE, so I did that.  No effect:

> (query-exec db "drop table if exists peers")

> (query-exec db "create table if not exists peers (name text UNIQUE)")

> (query-exec db "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1)" "hqwt")
> (query-exec db "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1)" "hqwt")
; query-exec: abort due to constraint violation
;   error code: 2067
;   SQL: "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1)"
; [,bt for context]

> (query-exec db "INSERT INTO peers ( name ) VALUES ($1) ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING" "hqwt")
; query-exec: near "ON": syntax error
;   error code: 1
; [,bt for context]

I've been through the SQLite documentation on the INSERT statement multiple times, and that last statement sure looks syntactically valid to me.  Furthermore, it works fine if I use it in the OSX 10.11.6 sqlite3 CLI client.

What am I missing?

It might well be the SQLlite version. This is a pretty new feature. It's possible that the db library is using an older version than your CLI client.

Got it.  Is there any way for me to address the situation aside from "Don't use that SQL"?

Yep.  Unfortunately, this was a simplified case of wanting to use OR DO UPDATE to make this actually an upsert.  When I started seeing this issue I backed it out to OR DO NOTHING in order to simplify the syntax.

Ah, okay. Try putting a recent version of the libsqlite3 shared library
in one of the paths returned by

(begin (require setup/dirs) (get-lib-search-dirs))

Use "INSERT OR IGNORE" instead. See
https://sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html, 3rd paragraph.
