- .SH "NAME"
- tdbc::sqlite3 \- TDBC driver for the SQLite3 database manager
- .SH "SYNOPSIS"
- package require \fBtdbc::sqlite3 1.0\fR
- .sp
- \fBtdbc::sqlite3::connection create\fR \fIdb\fR \fIfileName\fR ?\fI-option value...\fR?
- .BE
- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .PP
- The \fBtdbc::sqlite3\fR driver provides a database interface that conforms
- to Tcl DataBase Connectivity (TDBC) and allows a Tcl script to connect
- to a SQLite3 database. It is also provided
- as a worked example of how to write a database driver in Tcl, so that
- driver authors have a starting point for further development.
- .PP
- Connection to a SQLite3 database is established by invoking
- \fBtdbc::sqlite3::connection create\fR, passing it a string to be used
- as the connection handle followed by the file name of
- the database. The side effect of \fBtdbc::sqlite3::connection
- create\fR is to create a new database connection..
- As an alternative, \fBtdbc::sqlite::connection new\fR may be used to create
- a database connection with an automatically assigned name. The return value
- from \fBtdbc::sqlite::connection new\fR is the name that was chosen for the
- connection handle. See
- \fBtdbc::connection(n)\fR for the details of how to use the connection
- to manipulate a database.
- .SH "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
- .PP
- The standard configuration options \fB-encoding\fR, \fB-isolation\fR,
- \fB-readonly\fR and \fB-timeout\fR are all recognized, both on
- \fBtdbc::sqlite3::connection create\fR and on the \fBconfigure\fR
- method of the resulting connection.
- .PP
- Since the encoding of a SQLite3 database is always well known, the
- \fB-encoding\fR option accepts only \fButf-8\fR as an encoding and
- always returns \fButf-8\fR for an encoding. The actual encoding may be
- set using a SQLite3 \fBPRAGMA\fR statement when creating a new
- database.
- .PP
- Only the isolation levels \fBreaduncommitted\fR and \fBserializable\fR
- are implemented. Other isolation levels are promoted to
- \fBserializable\fR.
- .PP
- The \fB-readonly\fR flag is not implemented. \fB-readonly 0\fR is
- accepted silently, while \fB-readonly 1\fR reports an error.
- .SH "BUGS"
- If any column name is not unique among the columns in a result set, the
- results of \fB-as dicts\fR returns will be missing all but the rightmost
- of the duplicated columns. This limitation can be worked around by adding
- appropriate \fBAS\fR clauses to \fBSELECT\fR statements to ensure that
- all returned column names are unique. Plans are to fix this bug by using
- a C implementation of the driver, which will also improve performance
- significantly.

- .SH "KEYWORDS"
- TDBC, SQL, SQLite3, database, connectivity, connection
