Is anybody interested in working with me on updating ruby-DBI to support
SQLite3? I need it in order to ward off the evil P-monster (both!) at
work.

There already exists two implementations of a SQLite3 dbd that I’m aware
of. Neither are actively maintained as far as I know, they were posted
to the ruby-dbi mailing list sometime (I found them on Google, was never
a subscriber myself).
Anyways, the more featureful of the two has been packaged in Debian for
some time now. Over the summer I made a few improvements to it,
including adding transaction support. I procrastinated way too long in
getting the patch in the Debian package, but I sent it in a little over
a week ago, and it has since been committed.
If you’re running debian, install package libdbd-sqlite3-ruby1.8.
Otherwise download:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libd/libdbi-ruby/libdbi-ruby_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libd/libdbi-ruby/libdbi-ruby_0.1.1-4.diff.gz
The patch contains the SQLite3 dbd with transaction support.
Also, be aware that the SQLite3 dbd requires the sqlite3-ruby library.
I also recently sent some patches to Debian that fix a few issues when
using the SQLite3 dbd, namely when binding variables to a prepared
statement.
The sqlite3-ruby changes are available in the libsqlite3-ruby1.8
package, or from:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sqlite3-ruby/sqlite3-ruby_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sqlite3-ruby/sqlite3-ruby_1.1.0-4.diff.gz
It also appears that these changes have made it back into sqlite3-ruby
upstream in the 1.2.0 release that came out just a few days ago.
However, I’ve not had a chance to verify that the dbd works properly
with that version (and I probably won’t be able to for some time).
In fact, if you try sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0, I’d appreciate knowing
if everything seems to work OK with it.
Good luck!
Hey Mike,

I did see the Debian package but it didn’t occur to me to look for the
tarballs.

Sadly, I’m on CentOS.

I just installed the sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0 gem and aside from spewing a
bunch of
warnings like
sqlite3_api_wrap.c:1171: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer
will break strict-aliasing rules
it appears to install okay. Running the demo from the README mostly
works,
too:
cat x
require ‘dbi’
DBI.connect(‘DBI:SQLite3:test’, ‘testuser’, ‘testpwd’) do | dbh |
sql = “insert into songs (SongName, SongLength) VALUES (?, ?)”
dbh.prepare(sql) do | sth |
1.upto(13) { |i| sth.execute(“Song #{i}”, “#{i*10}”) }
end
dbh.select_all(‘select * from songs’) do | row |
p row
end
dbh.do(‘delete from songs where internal_id > 10’)
end

I’m going to do a more realistic app with it soon. I’ll let you know how

goes.
Good luck!
Thanks for the great info! Looks like I’m on my way.

I have been using sqlite3-ruby for a while now and it seems to work
fine.
Thanks again, Mike.
