SQLite3 Module
==============
Maintainer Contact

Requirements
------------
SilverStripe 3.0 or newer
Installation
------------
download, unzip and copy the sqlite3 folder to your project root so that it becomes a sibling of cms, sapphire and co.
either use the installer to automatically install SQLite or add this to your _config.php (right after "require_once("conf/ConfigureFromEnv.php");" if you are using _ss_environment.php)
$databaseConfig['type'] = 'SQLiteDatabase';
you are done!
make sure the webserver has sufficient privileges to write to that folder and that it is protected from external access.
Sample mysite/_config.php
-------------------------
<?php
global $project;
$project = 'mysite';
global $database;
$database = 'SS_mysite';
require_once("conf/ConfigureFromEnv.php");
global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig = array(
"type" => 'SQLiteDatabase',
"server" => 'none',
"username" => 'none',
"password" => 'none',
"database" => $database,
"path" => "/path/to/my/database/file",
);
SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');
SiteTree::enable_nested_urls();
Again: make sure that the webserver has permission to read and write to the above path (/path/to/my/database/, 'file' would be the name of the sqlite db file)
URL parameter
-------------
If you're trying to change a field constrain to NOT NULL on a field that contains NULLs dev/build fails because it might corrupt existing records. In order to perform the action anyway add the URL parameter 'avoidConflict' when running dev/build which temporarily adds a conflict clause to the field spec.
E.g.: http://www.my-project.com/?avoidConflict=1
Open Issues
-----------
- SQLite3 is supposed to work with all may not work with certain modules as they are using custom SQL statements passed to the DB class directly ;(
- there is no real fulltext search yet and the build-in search engine is not ordering by relevance, check out fts3
