Estoy tratando de crear una base de datos usando el código Genie. Sin embargo, tengo problemas con la documentación, por lo que pregunto aquí.

Esto puede considerarse poco intuitivo, porque podría ejecutar sqlite directamente en la línea de comandos y crear el conjunto de datos. Estoy haciendo esto por razones didácticas.

El código que intento imitar en python es:

#--------------------------------------
import apsw
#--------------------------------------
# Opening/creating database. Database name is cookbook.db3
connection=apsw.Connection("cookbook.db3")
cursor=connection.cursor()
#--------------------------------------
# Create The Tables
#--------------------------------------
sql = 'CREATE TABLE Recipes (pkiD INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, servings TEXT, source TEXT)'
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'CREATE TABLE Instructions (pkID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, instructions TEXT, recipeID NUMERIC)'
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'CREATE TABLE Ingredients (pkID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ingredients TEXT, recipeID NUMERIC)'
cursor.execute(sql)
#--------------------------------------
# Insert Data into tables
#--------------------------------------
# Insert data into Recipe table
sql = 'INSERT INTO Recipes (name,servings,source) VALUES ("Spanish Rice",4,"Greg")'
cursor.execute(sql)
# Get the pkid for the inserted record
sql = "SELECT last_insert_rowid()"
cursor.execute(sql)
for x in cursor.execute(sql):
    lastid = x[0]
# Insert data into the instructions table
sql = 'INSERT INTO Instructions (recipeID,instructions) VALUES( %s,"Brown hamburger. Stir in all other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Stir. Lower to simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
# Insert data into the ingredients table
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 cup parboiled Rice (uncooked)")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 pound Hamburger")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"2 cups Water")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 8 oz can Tomato Sauce")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 small Onion chopped")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 clove Garlic chopped")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 tablespoon Ground Cumin")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 teaspoon Ground Oregano")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"Salt and Pepper to taste")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"Salsa to taste")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
# Put in one more for good "measure"
sql = 'INSERT INTO Recipes (name,servings,source) VALUES ("Pickled Pepper-Onion Relish","9 half pints","Complete Guide to Home Canning")'
cursor.execute(sql)
# Get the pkid for the inserted record
sql = "SELECT last_insert_rowid()"
cursor.execute(sql)
for x in cursor.execute(sql):
    lastid = x[0]
sql = 'INSERT INTO Instructions (recipeID,instructions) VALUES( %s,"Wash and chop vegetables. Combine all ingredients and boil gently until mixture thickens and volume is reduced by 1/2 (about 30 minutes). Fill sterile jars with hot relish, leaving 1/2 inch head space and seal tightly. Store in refrigerator and use within one month or process in boiling water bath if extended storage is desired. Hot pack process time at 0-1000 feet for 5 minutes, 1,001 to 6000 ft 10 minutes, above 6,000 ft 15 minutes.")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"6 cups finely chopped Onions")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"3 cups finely chopped Red Peppers")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"3 cups finely chopped Green Peppers")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"1 1/2 cups sugar")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"6 cups White Vinegar (5 percent)")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
sql = 'INSERT INTO Ingredients (recipeID,ingredients) VALUES ( %s,"2 tablespoons canning or pickling salt")' % lastid
cursor.execute(sql)
# Tell us we are done
print 'Done'

Aprendí a usar vala.doc y encontré la rutina para manipular bases de datos sqlite: Sqlite.Database. Sin embargo, sigo recibiendo un error en la compilación.

Así de lejos llegué a reproducir ese código:

/* HOW TO CREATE THE DB WITH GENIE */

// Opening/creating db. 

[indent=4]
init
    Sqlite.Database db
    string errmsg

    int ec = Sqlite.Database.open("cookbook.db", out db)
    if ec != Sqlite.OK
        stderr.printf("Can't open database: %d: Ss\n", db.errcode(), db.errmesg)
        return -1

    // Insert data
    query:string ="""
        CREATE TABLE Recipes (pkiD INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, servings TEXT, source TEXT)
        """
    db.exec (query, null, out errmsg)

Se suponía que debía insertar tablas en una base de datos, pero recibo el siguiente error:

    valac --pkg sqlite3 cookcreate.gs 
cookcreate.gs:9.11-9.11: error: syntax error, expected `:' but got `.' with previous identifier
    Sqlite.Database db
          ^
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada.
