------
|
2010-01-21 12:32:21 +01:00
|
|
|
you can set the path for storing your SQLite db file or make use of the :memory: feature in sqlite3/_config.php like this:
|
2010-01-14 21:42:43 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$databaseConfig = array(
|
|
|
|
|
'path' => '/some/path',
|
|
|
|
|
'memory' => true,
|
|
|
|
|
);

|
make sure the webserver has sufficient privileges to write to that folder and that it is protected from external access.

Tested stacks
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
OSX leopard, XAMP with PHP 5.3.0, SQLite3.6.3

Open Issues
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
- SQLite3 may not work with certain modules as they are using custom SQL statements passed to the DB class directly ;(
|
|
|
|
|
- the SQLite3 locking behavior has to be explored, this is constantly causing trouble
|
|
|
|
|
- there is no real fulltext search yet and the build-in search engine is not ordering by relevance, check out fts3
|
|
|
|
|
- needs testing on different stacks
|

Things to note when using SQLite3
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
- small, fast, zero configuration, single cross-platform disk file, comes with a CLI and In-Memory database feature
|
|
|
|
|
- sometimes the only feasible solution when you don't have access to the usual DBMSs like MySQL
|
|
|
|
|
- weakly and dynamically typed although this should have been caught in the adapter
|
|
|
|
|
- does not fully implement SQL-92 standard, e.g. the ALTER TABLE syntax is limited to adding and renaming fields
|
|
|
|
|
- references for sqlite are e.g. ADOBE (Photoshop Lightroom), Apple (Safari, Mail, iPod, iPhone) Mozilla (Firefox, Thunderbird), Google (Chrome)
|
|
|
|
|
- if you are looking for a SQLite client for debugging, the SQLite plugin for firefox may be worth a try
