Create table

Create a table for users:
const createTable = db.prepare(`
  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    username TEXT NOT NULL
  )
`);
createTable.run();
4

Insert data

Insert some data into the users table:
const insertUser = db.prepare("INSERT INTO users (username) VALUES (?)");
insertUser.run("alice");
insertUser.run("bob");
