💡 Quick Examples
Creating a Table
# Simple — column names only
db.quick_table("users", "name", "email")
# Smart — example values for type inference
db.smart_table("products", name="Phone", price=1000000)
# Full control
db.create_table("users", {"id": "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY", "name": "TEXT"})
Inserting Data
# Single record
db.add("users", name="Ali")
# Multiple records
db.add_many("users", {"name": "Ali"}, {"name": "Vali"})
Finding Records
# By ID — fastest
db.find_by_id("users", 5)
# By condition
db.find("users", email="ali@example.com")
# All records
db.get_all("users")
# Newest
db.latest("users")
# Random sample
db.random("users", limit=5)
Updating
# Simple update by ID
db.change("users", 5, name="New Name")
# Increment a counter
db.increment("posts", 1, "views")
# Toggle boolean flag
db.toggle("users", 5, "is_active")
# Update or create
db.update_or_create(
"users",
find_by={"email": "ali@example.com"},
defaults={"name": "Ali"}
)
Deleting
# By ID
db.remove("users", 5)
# By condition
db.remove_where("users", status="deleted")
# Clear entire table
db.truncate("temp_data")
Statistics
db.count("users")
db.sum("orders", "amount")
db.avg("products", "price")
db.min("products", "price")
db.max("products", "price")
Searching
# Full-text search
db.search("products", "name", "phone")
# Check existence
if db.exists("users", email="ali@example.com"):
...
# Unique values
cities = db.distinct_values("users", "city")
