I have created a php desktop app withe sqlite and a setup file using inno setup. all is ok but I can't add or edit data into sqlite db using same php code after installing setup file that I have made with the working code. Its showing Errroe adding record. Read only file Mind it, before creating setup file I can add or edit dat into sqlite. anyone can help?
I had the same problem. I have solved in this way.
-> Download TakeWonership from this link: https://www.top-password.com/take-ownership-pro.html
then install it. Then you will find this option in the command bar.
-> find the project folder and hit the take ownership option
-> Now uncheck the read-only option from the folder properties.
Then your problem should be solved.. if not then open the project folder and uncheck read-only for all folders individually along with the database file. This works for me.
Very basic question, having a hard time finding an explanation online.
I have a file code.sql that can be run on two different databases, a.db3 and b.db3. I used sqlite a.db3 to open the database in sqlite3. How do I run code.sql on it?
Use the .read code.sql command, or call sqlite3 with the file as input: sqlite3 a.db3 < code.sql.
I am guessing that you are trying to use the sqlite3 command line tool that you can dowload from the sqlite.org website.
I recomend that you use, instead, sqlitestudio http://sqlitestudio.one.pl
This has a feature to execute SQL from a file on a database:
Use DB Browser for SQLite is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite.
You can download the DB Browser at SQLite https://sqlitebrowser.org/
I've played around with SQLite on my Windows desktop before, but I've never used it in a web context and their web documentation is maddenigly unspecific about things like this. Essentially, I have free student webspace from my school (a /public/html/ directory) and I'd like to use it for a small data-driven web project. SQLite is my only (free) option and I'm wondering how to... "install" it in this context? More specifically, is it safe just to throw the files in the html directory and call it a day?
If it helps, I'm pretty sure it's Linux environment (they run Apache).
See if it's already installed. Try the following in a bash session:
touch test.db
sqlite3 test.db
If not, you'll have to download and install sqlite3.
Useful tip: if you've been trying to run the 'sqlite' binary, it probably doesn't exist. It's called 'sqlite3'.
SQLite is an embedded database; it is typically not installed, but compiled into whatever program is used to access the database.
All the typical server-side extension languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl etc.) have support modules for SQLite.
You have to check which one of those are installed on the server, and whether SQLite support has been enabled for them.
I am developing a playbook app, where I am creating multiple databases. Can I get the location of the file/db created. I need to delete that Database, but I couldn't find a way to drop it, so I am planning to delete the file that it is stored in.
You can't drop SQLite databases, as you have found (hence my suggestion to simply drop all the tables).
However, if you really must delete the physical db file, I think your best bet is to mount the PlayBook's file system, and then track the file down. This link may help in explaining the file system layout on the PlayBook:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Tablet-OS-SDK-for-Adobe-AIR/BlackBerry-PlayBook-File-System-Layout/ta-p/773327
It depends on the OS and browser you are using, I have no experience with Playbook and its browser, but for example under Windows XP and using Firefox it's stored on:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\YOURPROFILE
and in Chrome there are two possible places:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\
There you have LocalStorage and Databases folders.
Hope it helps
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
