Bundle: sqlite3 vs. sqlite3-ruby

luislavena · June 19, 2011, 5:52pm

In various examples and tutorials I’ve see Gemfiles contain

gem 'sqlite3'

or

gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

What is the difference? Which should be used in a new Rails application
(3.0.9)?

I’ve installed sqlite3 and everything is working… but i don’t know the
differences between the two…

This means load the gem called sqlite3

or

gem ‘sqlite3-ruby’, :require => ‘sqlite3’

this means load the sqlite3-ruby gem, and load the sqlite3.rb file
inside it.
