In order to install sqlite3 on Mac using brew, you can simply run: $ brew install sqlite3 Probably, you have already installed sqlite3 because by default it comes installed since Mac OSX 10.4 onwards. In this case, you can update sqlite3 using brew by running the following command: $ brew upgrade sqlite3.

Well-Known Users of SQLite. SQLite is used by literally millions of applications with literally billions and billions of deployments. SQLite is the most widely deployed database engine in the world today. A few of the better-known users of SQLite are shown below in alphabetical order.

If you want to write a C++ program that utilizes Sqlite3 you will need to takean extra step in the compile and link process in order to compile Sqlite3 with theC compiler (gcc), and then your C++ program with the C++ compiler (g++)If you try to compile Sqlite3 with g++ it will error.
For this example, I am using g++
and gcc
to compile. I tested this in Windows 10 with MinGW64, but it should also work in Linux and Mac.
If you want to learn more about using SQLite3, check out my other tutorials:
I am using the 64-bit version of MinGW downloaded from http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds which links to a Sourceforge download.
After installing, add the MinGW bin directory to your PATH
environment variable. For example:
This will put gcc
and g++
in your PATH
.
Download Sqlite3 source code from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html.
Download the file labeled amalgamation (e.g. https://www.sqlite.org/2019/sqlite-amalgamation-3300100.zip) and then extract the zip file. It will contain some .c
and .h
files.
To compile Sqlite3 by itself as the standalone executable application, run:
To compile the object file so you can later link it with a C++ program compiled using g++
, firstcompile only to get the object file:
Then compile your .cpp
file with g++
, linking it to the sqlite3.o
file.Here is an example C++ file that will output the SQLite version and create an empty database file.
Learn more about the API and what functions are available at https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/intro.html or look inside the sqlite3.h
file.
Once you have the sqlite3.o
object file to link against (statically), and you have your main.cpp
file, you can compile and link with the following command:
Dec 20, 2018 Your user library instantly populates in your user folder; Unhide Folders to See User Library and a Heck of A Lot More! Another command we can leverage is the Unhide Keystroke of Command+Shift+Period. This action makes any hidden files or folders visible in your Finder, including the user library and all other hidden files. Jan 12, 2020 It's not clear why Apple decided to hide the user's Library folder, but you have multiple ways to get it back: two Apple provides (depending on the version of OS X you are using) and one in the underlying file system. The method you use depends on whether you want permanent access to the Library folder or only when you need to go there. The User Library is where all of your own presets, defaults, clips, default Live Sets and more are stored. The User Library is separate from the Core Library content so that it can be easily backed up, or shared between different Live installations or computers. Default location of the User Library. What should be in user library on mac.
Be sure to set the include directory with -I
so it knows where to find the sqlite3.h
file.
After compiling and linking you should have an a.exe
that will print out the SQLite version and generate the empty database file.
After following these steps you should be able to compile a C++ application that uses the C library SQLite3 using gcc
and g++
.
