class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SQLite3Adapter

Active Record SQLite3 Adapter

The SQLite3 adapter works with the sqlite3 driver.

Options:

  • :database (String): Filesystem path to the database file.

  • :statement_limit (Integer): Maximum number of prepared statements to cache per database connection. (default: 1000)

  • :timeout (Integer): Timeout in milliseconds to use when waiting for a lock. (default: no wait)

  • :strict (Boolean): Enable or disable strict mode. When enabled, this will disallow double-quoted string literals in SQL statements. (default: see strict_strings_by_default)

  • :extensions (Array): (requires sqlite3 v2.4.0) Each entry specifies a sqlite extension to load for this database. The entry may be a filesystem path, or the name of a class that responds to .to_path to provide the filesystem path for the extension. See sqlite3-ruby documentation for more information.

There may be other options available specific to the SQLite3 driver. Please read the documentation for SQLite::Database.new

strict_strings_by_default

Configure the SQLite3Adapter to be used in a “strict strings” mode. When enabled, this will disallow double-quoted string literals in SQL statements, which may prevent some typographical errors like creating an index for a non-existent column. The default is false.

If you wish to enable this mode you can add the following line to your application.rb file:

config.active_record.sqlite3_adapter_strict_strings_by_default = true

This can also be configured on individual databases by setting the strict: option.

Public instance methods

active?()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 242
def active?
  if connected?
    verified!
    true
  end
end

add_timestamps(table_name, **options)

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 425
def add_timestamps(table_name, **options)
  options[:null] = false if options[:null].nil?

  if !options.key?(:precision)
    options[:precision] = 6
  end

  alter_table(table_name) do |definition|
    definition.column :created_at, :datetime, **options
    definition.column :updated_at, :datetime, **options
  end
end

connected?()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 238
def connected?
  !(@raw_connection.nil? || @raw_connection.closed?)
end

create_virtual_table(table_name, module_name, values)

Creates a virtual table

Example:

create_virtual_table :emails, :fts5, ['sender', 'title',' body']
Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 341
def create_virtual_table(table_name, module_name, values)
  exec_query "CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS #{table_name} USING #{module_name} (#{values.join(", ")})"
end

database_exists?()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 167
def database_exists?
  @config[:database] == ":memory:" || File.exist?(@config[:database].to_s)
end

disconnect!()

Disconnects from the database if already connected. Otherwise, this method does nothing.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 253
def disconnect!
  super

  @raw_connection&.close rescue nil
  @raw_connection = nil
end

drop_virtual_table(table_name, module_name, values, **options)

Drops a virtual table

Although this command ignores module_name and values, it can be helpful to provide these in a migration’s change method so it can be reverted. In that case, module_name, values and options will be used by create_virtual_table.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 350
def drop_virtual_table(table_name, module_name, values, **options)
  drop_table(table_name)
end

encoding()

Returns the current database encoding format as a string, e.g. ‘UTF-8’

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 265
def encoding
  any_raw_connection.encoding.to_s
end

foreign_keys(table_name)

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 445

  # SQLite returns 1 row for each column of composite foreign keys.
  fk_info = internal_exec_query("PRAGMA foreign_key_list(#{quote(table_name)})", "SCHEMA")
  # Deferred or immediate foreign keys can only be seen in the CREATE TABLE sql
  fk_defs = table_structure_sql(table_name)
              .select do |column_string|
                column_string.start_with?("CONSTRAINT") &&

                [[table, from, to], deferred]
              end

  grouped_fk = fk_info.group_by { |row| row["id"] }.values.each { |group| group.sort_by! { |row| row["seq"] } }

    }

      options[:column] = row["from"]
      options[:primary_key] = row["to"]
    else
      options[:column] = group.map { |row| row["from"] }
      options[:primary_key] = group.map { |row| row["to"] }
    end
    ForeignKeyDefinition.new(table_name, row["table"], options)
  end
end

rename_table(table_name, new_name, **options)

Renames a table.

Example:

rename_table('octopuses', 'octopi')

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 358
