SQLite

About

SQLite is a software library that provides a relational database management system. The lite in SQLite means lightweight in terms of setup, database administration, and required resources.

SQLite has the following notable characteristics:

• Self-contained with no external dependencies
• Serverless - the SQLite library accesses its storage files directly
• Single database file that can be easily copied or moved
• Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed
• Transactional with ACID properties

Requirements

Database File

You need a SQLite database file. This can be:

• An existing database file
• A path where a new database file should be created
• :memory: for an in-memory database

Example

sources:
    my-sqlite-db:
        kind: "sqlite"
        database: "/path/to/database.db"

For an in-memory database:

sources:
    my-sqlite-memory-db:
        kind: "sqlite"
        database: ":memory:"
