# Query with parameters
db.execute("INSERT INTO users VALUES (?, ?, ?)", (4, "David", 28))

# Fetch results
cursor = db.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ?", (25,))
for row in cursor:
    print(row)
# (1, 'Alice', 30)
# (2, 'Bob', 25)
# (3, 'Charlie', 35)
# (4, 'David', 28)

# Fetch as list
cursor = db.execute("SELECT name, age FROM users ORDER BY age")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
print(rows)
# [('Bob', 25), ('David', 28), ('Alice', 30), ('Charlie', 35)]

# Fetch one
cursor = db.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", (1,))
row = cursor.fetchone()

db.execute("INSERT INTO articles VALUES ('Rust Guide', 'Memory safety without GC')")
db.execute("INSERT INTO articles VALUES ('中文測試', '繁體中文全文檢索')")

cursor = db.execute("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE articles MATCH ?", ("rust",))
print(cursor.fetchall())
# [('Rust Guide', 'Memory safety without GC')]
