# SQLite
SQLite ([vapor/sqlite](https://github.com/vapor/sqlite)) is a wrapper around the `libsqlite` C-library.
The higher-level, Fluent ORM guide is located at [Fluent → Getting Started](../fluent/getting-started.md). Using just the SQLite package directly for your project may be a good idea if any of the following are true:
- You have an existing DB with non-standard structure.
- You rely heavily on custom or complex SQL queries.
- You just plain don't like ORMs.
SQLite core is built on top of [DatabaseKit](../database-kit/getting-started.md) which provides some conveniences like connection pooling and integrations with Vapor's [Services](../getting-started/services.md) architecture.
!!! tip
Even if you do choose to use [Fluent SQLite](../fluent/getting-started.md), all of the features of SQLite core will be available to you.
## Getting Started
Let's take a look at how you can get started using SQLite core.
### Package
The first step to using SQLite core is adding it as a dependency to your project in your SPM package manifest file.
```swift
// swift-tools-version:4.0
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "MyApp",
dependencies: [
/// Any other dependencies ...
// 🔵 SQLite 3 wrapper for Swift.
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/sqlite.git", from: "3.0.0"),
],
targets: [
.target(name: "App", dependencies: ["SQLite", ...]),
.target(name: "Run", dependencies: ["App"]),
.testTarget(name: "AppTests", dependencies: ["App"]),
]
)
```
Don't forget to add the module as a dependency in the `targets` array. Once you have added the dependency, regenerate your Xcode project with the following command:
```sh
vapor xcode
```
### Config
The next step is to configure the database in [`configure.swift`](../getting-started/structure.md#configureswift).
```swift
import SQLite
/// Register providers first
try services.register(SQLiteProvider())
```
Registering the provider will add all of the services required for SQLite to work properly. It also includes a default database config struct that uses an in-memory DB.
#### Customizing Config
You can of course override the default configuration provided by `SQLiteProvider` if you'd like.
SQLite supports in-memory and file-based persistance. To configure your database manually, register a [`DatabasesConfig`](https://api.vapor.codes/database-kit/latest/DatabaseKit/Structs/DatabasesConfig.html) struct to your services.
```swift
// Configure a SQLite database
let sqlite = try SQLiteDatabase(storage: .file(path: "db.sqlite"))
/// Register the configured SQLite database to the database config.
var databases = DatabasesConfig()
databases.add(database: sqlite, as: .sqlite)
services.register(databases)
```
See [`SQLiteDatabase`](https://api.vapor.codes/sqlite/latest/SQLite/Classes/SQLiteDatabase.html) and [`SQLiteStorage`](https://api.vapor.codes/sqlite/latest/SQLite/Enums/SQLiteStorage.html) for more information.
SQLite's default database identifier is `.sqlite`. You can create a custom identifier if you want by extending [`DatabaseIdentifier`](https://api.vapor.codes/database-kit/latest/DatabaseKit/Structs/DatabaseIdentifier.html).
### Query
Now that the database is configured, you can make your first query.
```swift
struct SQLiteVersion: Codable {
let version: String
}
router.get("sql") { req in
return req.withPooledConnection(to: .sqlite) { conn in
return conn.select()
.column(function: "sqlite_version", as: "version")
.all(decoding: SQLiteVersion.self)
}.map { rows in
return rows[0].version
}
}
```
Visiting this route should display your SQLite version.
Here we are making use database connection pooling. You can learn more about creating connections in [DatabaseKit → Getting Started](../database-kit/getting-started.md).
Once we have a connection, we can use [`select()`](https://api.vapor.codes/sql/latest/SQL/Protocols/SQLConnection.html#/s:3SQL13SQLConnectionPAAE6selectAA16SQLSelectBuilderCyxGyF) to create a `SELECT` query builder. Learn more about building queries in [SQL → Getting Started](../sql/getting-started.md).
Visit SQLite's [API docs](https://api.vapor.codes/sqlite/latest/SQLite/index.html) for detailed information about all available types and methods.
