= SQLite3/Ruby Interface

• http://github.com/luislavena/sqlite3-ruby
• http://groups.google.com/group/sqlite3-ruby

== DESCRIPTION

This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3 database engine (http://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
