An SQLite3 library. Similar to esqlite but there are some differences.

• Prepared statements are not cached.
• Prepared statements are not immutable. You must be careful when manipulating statements and binding values to statements.
• All calls are run through the Dirty NIF scheduler.

defp deps do {:exqlite, "~> 0.1.0"} end

The Exqlite.Sqlite3 module usage is fairly straight forward.

# We'll just keep it in memory right now {:ok, conn} = Exqlite.Sqlite3.open(":memory:") # Create the table :ok = Exqlite.Sqlite3.execute(conn, "create table test (id integer primary key, stuff text)"); # Prepare a statement {:ok, statement} = Exqlite.Sqlite3.prepare(conn, "insert into test (stuff) values (?1)") :ok = Exqlite.Sqlite3.bind(conn, statement, ["Hello world"]) # Step is used to run statements :done = Exqlite.Sqlite3.step(conn, statement) # Prepare a select statement {:ok, statement} = Exqlite.Sqlite3.prepare(conn, "select id, stuff from test"); # Get the results {:row, [1, "Hello world"]} = Exqlite.Sqlite3.step(conn, statement) # No more results :done = Exqlite.Sqlite3.step(conn, statement)

Define your repo similar to this.

defmodule MyApp.Repo do use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :my_app, adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Exqlite end

Configure your repository similar to the following. If you want to know more about the possible options to pass the repository, checkout the documentation for Exqlite.Connection.connect/1. It will have more information on what is configurable.

config :my_app, ecto_repos: [MyApp.Repo] config :my_app, MyApp.Repo, database: "path/to/my/database.db", show_sensitive_data_on_connection_error: false, journal_mode: :wal, cache_size: -64000, temp_store: :memory, pool_size: 1

• Pool size is set to 1 but can be increased to 4. When set to 10 there was a lot of database busy errors. Currently this is a known issue and is being looked in to.

• Cache size is a negative number because that is how SQLite3 defines the cache size in kilobytes. If you make it positive, that is the number of pages in memory to use. Both have their pros and cons. Check the documentation out for SQLite3.

I needed an Ecto3 adapter to store time series data for a personal project. I didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to setup a postgres database or mysql database when I was just wanting to explore data ingestion and some map reduce problems.

I also noticed that other SQLite3 implementations didn't really fit my needs. At some point I also wanted to use this with a nerves project on an embedded device that would be resiliant to power outages and still maintain some state that ets can not afford.

• Setting up a way for testing to be sandboxed for applications to test without fear of tests leaking into other tests.

We are using the Dirty NIF scheduler to execute the sqlite calls. The rationale behind this is that maintaining each sqlite's connection command pool is complicated and error prone.
