SQLite3 for Lua

An SQLite3 Library for Lua

Installation and Setup

• Download sqlite3.lua.

• Copy the sqlite3.lua file to your project.

• Edit the sqlite3.lua file and set the SQLite3Path variable in the tSettings table to the directory where the Sqlite3 plugin can write the library file.

Note: the application must have write access to the path. The user data folder is usually a good place for the Sqlite3 plugin to write the library file.

There are various ways to do this depending on what system is being used. For example, if you're using LÖVE, you can simply type love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory().

• Require the scipt file.

require('pathtoyourscripts.sqlite3');

Usage Example

    --create/open database
    local hDB = sqlite3.open("mydatabase.db");

      if hDB then
      local sQuery = "CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY   AUTOINCREMENT, name CHAR(20));";
      hDB:execute(sQuery);
      
      hDB:close();
      end
