SQLite JDBC, developed by Taro L. Saito, is a library for accessing and creating SQLite database files in Java.
- SQLite JDBC Driver. SQLite JDBC, developed by Taro L. Saito, is a library for accessing and creating SQLite database files in Java. Our SQLiteJDBC library requires no configuration since native libraries for major OSs, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc., are assembled into a single JAR (Java Archive) file.

- Download sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar. Sqlite/sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar.zip( 3,176 k) The download jar file contains the following class files or Java source files.
- Connecting to an SQLite database: this tutorial shows you how to download SQLiteJDBC driver and connect to an existing SQLite database using JDBC. Creating a new SQLite database – in this tutorial, we will show you how to create a new SQLite database from a Java program using SQLiteJDBC driver.
- This is a Java wrapper including a basic JDBC driver for the SQLite 2/3 database engine.It is designed using JNI to interface to the SQLite API. That API is wrapped by methods in the SQLite.Databaseclass.
SQLite JDBC, developed by Taro L. Saito, is a library for accessing and creating SQLite database files in Java. The current sqlite-jdbc implementation is based on the code of Zentus's SQLite JDBC driver (missing link). We have improved it in two ways: Support major operating systems by embedding. Xcode has no way to talk with SQLite when an App runs on the Device Simulator, if you already have Netbeans on your Mac, do the following: Follow the instructions below 'Posted by Dredd on Jun 05, 2012' to get and install the driver, then for the JDBC URL use.
Our SQLiteJDBC library requires no configuration since native libraries for major OSs, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc., are assembled into a single JAR (Java Archive) file. The usage is quite simple; downloadour sqlite-jdbc library, then append the library (JAR file) to your class path.
See the sample code.
What is different from Zentus' SQLite JDBC?
The current sqlite-jdbc implementation is forked from Zentus' SQLite JDBC driver. We have improved it in two ways:
- Support major operating systems by embedding native libraries of SQLite, compiled for each of them.
- Remove manual configurations
In the original version, in order to use the native version of sqlite-jdbc, users had to set a path to the native codes (dll, jnilib, so files, etc.) through the command-line arguments,e.g., -Djava.library.path=(path to the dll, jnilib, etc.)
, or -Dorg.sqlite.lib.path
, etc.This process was error-prone and bothersome to tell every user to set these variables.Our SQLiteJDBC library completely does away these inconveniences.
Another difference is that we are keeping this SQLiteJDBC library up-to-date tothe newest version of SQLite engine, because we are one of the hottest users ofthis library. For example, SQLite JDBC is a core component ofUTGB (University of Tokyo Genome Browser) Toolkit, whichis our utility to create personalized genome browsers.

SQLite JDBC is a library for accessing SQLite databases through the JDBC API. For the general usage of JDBC, see JDBC Tutorial or Oracle JDBC Documentation.
- Download sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar from the download page (or by using Maven)then append this jar file into your classpath.
- Open a SQLite database connection from your code. (see the example below)
- More usage examples are available at Usage
- Usage Example (Assuming
sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar
is placed in the current directory)
Sample.java
How to Specify Database Files
Here is an example to select a file C:workmydatabase.db
(in Windows)
A UNIX (Linux, Mac OS X, etc) file /home/leo/work/mydatabase.db
How to Use Memory Databases
SQLite supports on-memory database management, which does not create any database files.To use a memory database in your Java code, get the database connection as follows:
Configuration
sqlite-jdbc extracts a native library for your OS to the directory specified by java.io.tmpdir
JVM property. To use another directory, set org.sqlite.tmpdir
JVM property to your favorite path.

Beta Release
The early releases (beta) of sqlite-jdbc with some advanced features are availablefrom here
- The old releases are still available from here, but the site might be closed in future.
Since sqlite-jdbc-3.6.19, the natively compiled SQLite engines will be used forthe following operating systems:
- Windows (Windows, x86 architecture, x86_64)
- Mac OS X x86_64 (Support for SnowLeopard (i386) has been deprecated)
- Linux x86, x86_64, arm (v5, v6, v7 and for android), ppc64
In the other OSs not listed above, the pure-java SQLite is used. (Applies to versions before 3.7.15)
If you want to use the native library for your OS, [build the source from scratch.
How does SQLiteJDBC work?
Sqlite Jdbc Driver
Our SQLite JDBC driver package (i.e., sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar
) contains threetypes of native SQLite libraries (sqlite-jdbc.dll
, sqlite-jdbc.jnilib
, sqlite-jdbc.so
),each of them is compiled for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. An appropriate native libraryfile is automatically extracted into your OS's temporary folder, when your programloads org.sqlite.JDBC
driver.

If you are familiar with Maven2, add the following XMLfragments into your pom.xml file. With those settings, your Maven will automatically download our SQLiteJDBC library into your local Maven repository, since our sqlite-jdbc libraries are synchronized with the Maven's central repository.
To use snapshot/pre-release versions, add the following repository to your Maven settings:
- Pre-release repository: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases
- Snapshot repository: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
Hint for maven-shade-plugin
You may need to add shade plugin transformer to solve No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlite:
issue.
(The following note is no longer necessary since sqlite-jdbc-3.8.7)
Do not include sqlite-jdbc-(version).jar in WEB-INF/lib folder of your web applicationpackage, since multiple web applications hosted by the same Tomcat server cannotload the sqlite-jdbc native library more than once. That is the specification ofJNI (Java Native Interface). You will observe UnsatisfiedLinkError
exception withthe message 'no SQLite library found'.
Work-around of this problem is to put sqlite-jdbc-(version).jar
file into (TOMCAT_HOME)/lib
directory, in which multiple web applications can share the same native libraryfile (.dll, .jnilib, .so) extracted from this sqlite-jdbc jar file.
Sqlite Jdbc Driver Intellij
If you are using Maven for your web application, set the dependency scope as 'provided',and manually put the SQLite JDBC jar file into (TOMCAT_HOME)/lib folder.
SQLDroid is a JDBC driver for Android's sqlite database (android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase) originally conceived by Kristian Lein-Mathisen. See http://sqldroid.org/.
SQLDroid lets you access your app's database through JDBC. Android ships with the necessary interfaces needed to use JDBC drivers, but it does not officially ship with a driver for its built-in SQLite database engine. When porting code from other projects, you can conveniently replace the JDBC url to jdbc:sqlite to access an SQLite database on Android.
The SQLDroid JAR with the JDBC driver for Android is 33KB. We also offer a RubyGem 'sqldroid' for use with Ruboto.

Download
You can use SQLDroid in you maven project by declaring this dependency:
Or if you're using gradle:
Binary distributions are available for download from the Maven Central Repository: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Csqldroid
Sqlite Jdbc Driver Maven
Usage
Here is a minimal example of an Android Activity implemented in Java with SQLDroid.
You can find an example of how to use SQLDroid with ActiveRecord on Ruboto here:
Debug output
You can set the SQLDroid log output level like this
You can turn on resultset dumps like this
Building
The SQLDroid JAR file is a straight collection of the compiled classes. If you have Ruby installed,you can generate the JAR using
rake jar
To make a gem for use with Ruboto run
rake gem
To release the gem to rubygems.org (requires permissions on rubygems.org) run
rake release
Building with mvn
SQLDroid is a normal Maven project. If you have Android 21 installed (sdkmanager --install platforms;android-21
), you can generate the JAR using
mvn install
To release the jar to Maven Central (requires permissions and a PGP key) first tag the release version
mvn -Prelease release:prepare
Then deploy the artifact to Maven Central
mvn -Prelease release:perform
