* `path` {string} The path to the shared library to load.
* `entryPoint` {string} The name of the extension's entry-point function. When
omitted, SQLite derives the entry point from the shared library's filename;
pass this argument explicitly when the derived name does not match.

Loads a shared library into the database connection. This method is a wrapper
around [`sqlite3_load_extension()`][]. It is required to enable the
`allowExtension` option when constructing the `DatabaseSync` instance.

```mjs
import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite';
const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:', { allowExtension: true });

// Load using the entry point derived from the filename.
database.loadExtension('./decimal.dylib');

// Override the entry point when the derived name does not match.
database.loadExtension('./base64.dylib', 'sqlite3_base64_init');
```

```cjs
'use strict';
const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite');
const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:', { allowExtension: true });

// Load using the entry point derived from the filename.
database.loadExtension('./decimal.dylib');

// Override the entry point when the derived name does not match.
database.loadExtension('./base64.dylib', 'sqlite3_base64_init');
```
