This repository is an example of a toy application running on LiteFS. You can test it out by deploying to Fly.io, or locally with a docker-compose setup.
Note: commands should be run from the top-level directory for both Fly.io and local docker-compose (not from the location of the README files above).
This example is modified to use DuckDB instead of SQlite by leveraging the DuckDB sqlite extension and file format supporting read/write capabilities on the primary node and read-only on replicas.
Once the /litefs filesystem is mounted we can use it from DuckDB
--- Install the sqlite extension
INSTALL sqlite; LOAD sqlite;
--- Attach an sqlite file in the /litefs mount
ATTACH '/litefs/db.sqlite' (TYPE SQLITE); USE db;
--- Create a distributed table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS db.persons (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
phone TEXT NOT NULL,
company TEXT NOT NULL
);
--- Insert some data (or use the web demo)
WITH next_id AS (
SELECT COALESCE(MAX(id), 0) + 1 AS id FROM db.persons
)
INSERT INTO db.persons (id, name, phone, company)
SELECT id, 'Jill', '1234', 'Jack'
FROM next_id;Data is automatically replicated to the read-only replica nodes. Replicas can become primary nodes.
