SQLite3/Ruby Interface

DESCRIPTION

This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3 database engine (www.sqlite.org). You must have the SQLite engine installed in order to build this module.

Note that this module is only compatible with SQLite 3.6.16 or newer.

SYNOPSIS

require "sqlite3"

# Open a database
db = SQLite3::Database.new "test.db"

# Create a database
rows = db.execute <<-SQL
  create table numbers (
    name varchar(30),
    val int
  );
SQL

# Execute a few inserts
{
  "one" => 1,
  "two" => 2,
}.each do |pair|
  db.execute "insert into numbers values ( ?, ? )", pair
end

# Execute inserts with parameter markers
db.execute("INSERT INTO students (name, email, grade, blog) 
            VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)", [@name, @email, @grade, @blog])

# Find a few rows
db.execute( "select * from numbers" ) do |row|
  p row
end

Compilation and Installation

Install SQLite3, enabling the option SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA (see www.sqlite.org/compile.html for details).

Then do the following:

ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

Alternatively, you can download and install the RubyGem package for SQLite3/Ruby (you must have RubyGems and SQLite3 installed, first):

gem install sqlite3

If you have sqlite3 installed in a non-standard location, you can specify the location of the include and lib files by doing:

gem install sqlite3 -- --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include \
   --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib
