Sqlite3 WebAssembly

Slight point of confusion: that page says:

> These components were initially released for public beta with version 3.40 and will tentatively be made API-stable with the 3.41 release, pending community feedback.

But the most recent release of SQLite is 3.46.1 (from 2024-08-13)

Presumably they are now "API-stable" but the page hasn't been updated yet.

It would be great if the SQLite team published an official npm package bundling the WASM version, could be a neat distribution mechanism for them. (UPDATE: They do, see replies to this post.)

My favourite version of SQLite-in-WASM remains the Pyodide variant, which has been around since long before the official SQLite implementation. If you use Pyodide you get a WASM SQLite for free as part of the Python standard library - I use that for https://lite.datasette.io/ and you can also try it out on https://pyodide.org/en/stable/console.html

    import sqlite3
    print(sqlite3.connect(':memory:').execute(
        'select sqlite_version()'
    ).fetchall())

That returns 3.39.0 from 2022-06-25 so Pyodide could do with a version bump. Looks like it inherits that version from emscripten: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/tool...
