Not able to use exported c function as custom function in query #310

@AadhiKat

I wrote a c function and compiled using the command

emcc lib/alternate_case.c -s WASM=1 -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS="['_alternatecase']" -s EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='["ccall", "cwrap"]' -s ASSERTIONS=1 -o public/alternate_case.js

Here is my C function

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<emscripten.h>

int main() {
  return 1;
}

char * alternatecase(char *str) {
    char *initial_ptr;
    initial_ptr = str;
    for (int i=0; i < *str!='\0' ; i++){
        if( (i % 2) == 0)
            *str = tolower(*str);
        else
            *str = toupper(*str);
        str++;
    }
    return initial_ptr;
}

I took the sql-wasm.js from this repository. alternate_case.js is the compiled file from emcc.
This is the exporting-c-function.js

config = {
      locateFile: filename => `dist/sql-wasm.wasm`
    }

    initSqlJs(config).then(function(SQL){
      //Create the database
      var db = new SQL.Database();
      // Run a query without reading the results

      const func = cwrap('alternatecase','string', ['string']);
      db.create_function("altcase" , func)

      sqlstr = "CREATE TABLE hello (a int, b char);";
      sqlstr += "INSERT INTO hello VALUES (0, 'hello');"
      sqlstr += "INSERT INTO hello VALUES (1, 'world');"
      db.run(sqlstr); // Run the query without returning anything

      //db.run("INSERT INTO hello VALUES (alternatecase('awdqwdq'));"); // Inserts 10 and 'Hello world'
       db.run('SELECT altcase(b) from hello;');
});

It is throwing this error in the console
Error: wrong number of arguments to function altcase()

And it accepts only 0 arguments.
Note: if I try from browser console , I am able to use the function and get the output.
How to use this as custom function?
Also how to create custom function in web workers and use it ?
