Java sqlite jdbc

SqliteJDBC

SQLiteJDBC is a Java JDBC driver for SQLite. It runs using either a native code library 100% Pure Java driver based on NestedVM emulation.

Both the pure driver and the native binaries for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux x86 have been combined into a single jar file.

Download

The current version is v056, based on SQLite 3.6.14.2.

• sqlitejdbc-v056.jar - pure Java, containing binaries for: Windows, Linux/x86/amd64, and Mac OS X/ppc/x86/amd64
• The download directory contains separate native binaries.
• Get the source from github.

That should be everything you need.

Getting Started

Read the usage page for the full story.

import java.sql.*;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
    Connection conn =
      DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
    Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
    stat.executeUpdate("drop table if exists people;");
    stat.executeUpdate("create table people (name, occupation);");
    PreparedStatement prep = conn.prepareStatement(
      "insert into people values (?, ?);");

    prep.setString(1, "Gandhi");
    prep.setString(2, "politics");
    prep.addBatch();
    prep.setString(1, "Turing");
    prep.setString(2, "computers");
    prep.addBatch();
    prep.setString(1, "Wittgenstein");
    prep.setString(2, "smartypants");
    prep.addBatch();

    conn.setAutoCommit(false);
    prep.executeBatch();
    conn.setAutoCommit(true);

    ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery("select * from people;");
    while (rs.next()) {
      System.out.println("name = " + rs.getString("name"));
      System.out.println("job = " + rs.getString("occupation"));
    }
    rs.close();
    conn.close();
  }
}

Run with:

java -cp .:sqlitejdbc-v056.jar Test
