const db = open("./example.db");
// or const db = open(':memory:');

const connection = db.connect();

connection.query("select 1 as number"); // -> [{ number: 1 }]

for (const row of connection.stream("select 42 as number")) {

}

const prepared = connection.prepare(
  "select ?::INTEGER as number, ?::VARCHAR as text",

prepared.query(null, "bar"); // -> [{ number: null, text: 'bar' }]
