  • sqlite-past-present-future

    Performance evaluation and optimization of SQLite

  • go-sqlite3-stdlib

    A standard library for mattn/go-sqlite3 including best-effort date parsing, url parsing, math/string functions, and stats aggregation functions

  • Adding user-defined functions to SQLite is not difficult, and the mechanism is quite flexible. You can create extensions and load them when you create the SQLite connection to have the functions available in queries. I wrote a blog post explaining how to do that using Rust, and the example is precisely a `regex_extract` function [0].

    If you need them, you also have a "stdlib" implemented for Go [1] and a pretty extensive collection of extensions [2]
