As you may see from the picture below there are few files:
.exe file which is reading data.edb file
sqlite3.dll which is obviously being used to read data.edb
data.edb contains all the data
Obviously SQLIte3 is being used to read the database, but I cannot load data.edb manually. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?
I have decrypted crypt12 file into .db file. Modified some changes. Now again, Is there a way to encrypt .db file into crypt12 format?
If I setup a database like so:
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName("data.db");
Where is the file actually stored? Is there a way to set this and have control over that? I have heard that you can also opt for an SQLite database to only be stored in memory, not on disk. How would you do this?
setDatabaseName for SQLite works just as normal filenames. Unless you specify full path, the file is created in the process' working directory.
For memory storage, try to speci.fy ":memory:" as database name. See also Saving and restoring an in-memory SQLite database
How can I convert my Access database (.accdb) to an SQLite database(.sqlite)?
May be you can use several step algoritm:
1. Export (convert) Access table or query to Excel file
2. Save Excel file as CSV file.
3. Use any SQLLite manager (for example, phpLiteAdmin) to import data from CSV file to exist SQLLite table.
Except Android and IOS, that use SQLLite, there are still webhostings, that use no more database engine, except for SQLLite.
1) If you want to convert a structure of db you shoud use any DB-modeling tools:
create new model from existing Access Database
generate sql scripte for creating SQLite database
use this script in SQL helper
2) If you want to import data from Access Database to your android app. I think you can do case #1, migrate all data from Access Database to temporary SQLite database, save it to asset folder and rewrite from asset to internal SQLite database during first app. start
Where is the SQLite database stored i.e. directory path on windows 7 when created ?
A SQLite database is a regular file. It is created in your script current directory.
.databases
If you run this command inside SQLite
.databases
it lists the path of all currently connected databases. Sample output:
seq name file
--- --------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
0 main /home/me/a.db
There is no "standard place" for a sqlite database. The file's location is specified to the library, and may be in your home directory, in the invoking program's folder, or any other place.
If it helps, sqlite databases are, by convention, named with a .db file extension.
If you are running Rails (its the default db in Rails) check the {RAILS_ROOT}/config/database.yml file and you will see something like:
database: db/development.sqlite3
This means that it will be in the {RAILS_ROOT}/db directory.
When you call sqlite3_open() you specify the filepath the database is opened from/saved to, if it is not an absolute path it is specified relative to your current working directory.
It depends on how you initialized the database. If you used the command line shell for SQLite (e.g. sqlite3 ex1) to create the database, it'll be a path from the root of your local machine. If you used a Python script to create the database, it'll be a path from your project.
To check the former, run the command line shell:
sqlite3
sqlite> .databases
To check the path in your project, you can print the path in the connection. For example:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
DATABASE = 'db'
def get_db_connection():
print(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, DATABASE, "database.db"))
conn = sqlite3.connect(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, DATABASE, "database.db"))
conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
return conn
In my case I think it was an access issue. I saved the SQLite files to "C:/Program Files (x86)/sqlite". I CD'd there, ran sqlite3, and created a database called test.db:
As you can see, I ran .database, which told me the .db file was created in the same directory, so I went to confirm in File Explorer, and it wasn't there:
Curiously the database was working correctly in spite of this.
It was only through trial-and-error that I discovered that I could save in some locations, but not others. It appears to me that SQLite can't save to locations that require elevation. In my case, moving from Program Files to My Documents made the issue go away.
I find it quite irritating that SQLite doesn't just tell me "access denied" instead of trying to be clever and saving to some location that I can't even find.
In Windows machines (Windows 2010), by default, the new SQLite database files will be stored in the same folder where Sqlite3.EXE application is stored in your machine. However , we can create a new folder in Windows and within sqlite> prompt, you may use the .cd to change to the new working directory.
It is a good idea to give a .db file extension to the new database files that you create (even though it is not mandatory to have any file extension)
The SQLite command, .databases will show the default database "main" or currently created or currently opened database or all "attached" database files with file path. The .attach is useful to attach more than one database file to the current connection when we want to work with tables belonging to different databases.

the database path will be displayed, when using .databases
SQLite is created in your python directory where you installed the python.
SQLit Database is simply a file where your local data is stored on your local machine
In Windows 10 if in the prompt command the path where you start sqlite is
C:\users\USER_NAME
You can find it in the user home folder.
The .db file is stored where you start the sqlite command.
I hope this solve the issue
