Node.js, Express, and SQLite to wrap a REST API around an SQL database
var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();
var db = new sqlite3.Database('data/demodb02');
db.serialize(function() {
db.run("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS counts (key TEXT, value INTEGER)");
db.run("INSERT INTO counts (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)", "counter", 0);
});
var express = require('express');
var restapi = express();
restapi.get('/data', function(req, res){
db.get("SELECT value FROM counts", function(err, row){
res.json({ "count" : row.value });
});
});
restapi.post('/data', function(req, res){
db.run("UPDATE counts SET value = value + 1 WHERE key = ?", "counter", function(err, row){
if (err){
console.err(err);
res.status(500);
}
else {
res.status(202);
}
res.end();
});
});
restapi.listen(3000);
console.log("Submit GET or POST to http://localhost:3000/data");

You can try to use 'fs' (file system) to read the file and pass it to sqlite3.

Using db.all can query all rows:

Using db.run is probably your best bet for any update statements:
