Query Language Understood by SQLite - https://www.sqlite.org/lang.html

Create Table

Note: type definitions do not appear to be strictly enforced, unless primary key 

Expression Affinity	Column Declared Type
TEXT			"TEXT"
NUMERIC			"NUM"
INTEGER			"INT"
REAL			"REAL"
NONE			"" (empty string)  

CREATE TABLE t1(a, b NOT NULL);	# can't be null
CREATE TABLE t1(a, b UNIQUE);		# must be unique
CREATE TABLE t1(a, b PRIMARY KEY);	# primary key same as unique, but can only have one
CREATE TABLE t1(a, b INTEGER NOT NULL, c INTEGER PRIMARY KEY);		# auto increments 'c'

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html 

CREATE TABLE android_metadata (locale TEXT);
CREATE TABLE attendees (meeting_id INTEGER, scout_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY(meeting_id) REFERENCES meetings(_id), FOREIGN KEY (scout_id) REFERENCES scouts(_id));
CREATE TABLE completions (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, scout_id INTEGER NOT NULL, part_id INTEGER NOT NULL, timestamp DATETIME, reported DATETIME, FOREIGN KEY (scout_id) REFERENCES scouts(_id), FOREIGN KEY (part_id) REFERENCES parts(_id));
CREATE TABLE dens (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT, rank_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (rank_id) REFERENCES ranks(_id));
CREATE TABLE groups (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, item_id INTEGER NOT NULL, name TEXT, number TEXT, qty_required INTEGER , notes TEXT, part_count int, FOREIGN KEY (item_id) REFERENCES items(_id));
CREATE TABLE item_completions (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, scout_id INTEGER NOT NULL, item_id INTEGER NOT NULL, completed DATETIME, reported DATETIME, FOREIGN KEY (scout_id) REFERENCES scouts(_id), FOREIGN KEY (item_id) REFERENCES items(_id));
CREATE TABLE items (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, type TEXT, rank_id INTEGER, number TEXT, title TEXT, notes TEXT, image BLOB, group_count int, FOREIGN KEY (rank_id) REFERENCES ranks(_id));
CREATE TABLE meetings (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, rank_id INTEGER, meeting_date DATETIME, notes TEXT, reported DATETIME, den_id INTEGER REFERENCES dens(_id), FOREIGN KEY (rank_id) REFERENCES ranks(_id));
CREATE TABLE parts (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, group_id INTEGER NOT NULL, number TEXT, description TEXT, notes TEXT, FOREIGN KEY (group_id) REFERENCES groups(_id));
CREATE TABLE ranks (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE scouts (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT, den_id INTEGER REFERENCES dens(_id), contacts TEXT, photo BLOB, email_address text, phone_number text);
CREATE TABLE settings (setting_key char(50) primary key, setting_value text);

Alter Table

ALTER TABLE t1 ADD COLUMN hostid TEXT;

Destroy Table

DROP TABLE t1;

Create

INSERT INTO t1 VALUES('test', 1);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES('test');

Read

SELECT * FROM t1;
SELECT count(*) FROM t1;

Update

UPDATE t1 SET a = 'test', b = 1 WHERE c = 1;

Destroy

DELETE FROM t1;
DELETE FROM t1 WHERE c = 1;

Auto increment

Create table with auto inc primary key: 

sqlite3 test.db  "create table t1 (t1key INTEGER 
                 PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,num double,timeEnter DATE);"

the primary key "t1key" auto increments;

Date

field with unixtime stamp:

Show date '2024-07-20'... 

"SELECT date(timestamp, 'unixepoch') ...

Show now: 

SELECT date('now');
  2013-05-07

Compiling

Building python 2.6 w/ sqlite3 module if sqlite is installed in non-standard location - Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1677666/building-python-2-6-w-sqlite3-module-if-sqlite-is-installed-in-non-standard-loc 

./configure LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/lib' CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/include'

Note: This didn't work.

---

Although CentOS 5 has SQLite3 installed out of the box it is an older version so we must build a new one. 

cd /tmp
wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-autoconf-3070800.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sqlite-autoconf-3070800.tar.gz
cd sqlite-autoconf-3070800
./configure --prefix=/opt/sqlite3 && make && make install

Issues

attempt to write a readonly database

The database needs write permission 

chmod g+w .data/sql.db
chown :apache .data/sql.db

References:

unable to open database file

The directory needs write permissions. (assuming for temporary files?) 

chmod g+w .data
chown :apache .data

Error: stepping, database disk image is malformed

Error: 

Error: stepping, database disk image is malformed (11)
