Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Dorner

Institute for Applied Informatics


Technische Hochschule Deggendorf

An Embedded DBMS

Architecture
Data Types

INTEGER The value is a signed integer, stored in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,


or 8 bytes depending on the magnitude of the value.

REAL The value is a floating point value, stored as an 8-byte IEEE floating
point number.

TEXT The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8,
UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE).

BLOB The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.


But store larger binaries/files better in the file system
Special Data Types

Boolean values are stored as integers 0 (false) and 1 (true)

Date and Time

TEXT as ISO8601 strings ("YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS").

REAL as Julian day numbers, the number of days since noon


in Greenwich on November 24, 4714 B.C. according to the
proleptic Gregorian calendar.

INTEGER as Unix Time, the number of seconds since


1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
Local Infrastructure for handling SQLite Databases

We will install some local files to have an environment to work and experiment
with SQLite.
Relevant links for downloads are liste in iLearn in the corresponding section.

Task

●
Download SQLite Tools from sqlite.org (look for „Precompiled
Binaries for ...)
●
Download SQLiteBrowser
●
Unpack both systems to your local drive I: in a directory called sqlite
●
Open the command shell cmd.exe
●
Change to drive I: ( I: )
●
Change working directory to sqlite ( cd sqlite)
SQLite in the shell: sqlite-tools

Starting SQLite Tool

C:\ sqlite3.exe \\opens sqlite command shell with a new database


C:\ sqlite3.exe test.db \\opens with a new database or opens database

Working with SQLite dot-commands

sqlite> .tables \\shows all tables


sqlite> .q \\quit the application

Working with SQLite with SQL-statements and dot-commands

sqlite> CREATE TABLE test


(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
name TEXT NOT NULL);

sqlite> .tables
sqlite> SELECT * FROM test;
DB Browser for SQLite

Open your
database-file in the
DB Browser
Test your model in SQLlite

Implement the relations Contact and Chat in SQLite using sqlite-tools


sqlite3.exe as well as the DB Browser

Task

●
Open sqlite3.exe and create a database file messenger.db
●
Create the table Contact
●
Open the file in the DB Browser
●
Control the table Contact
●
Create a table Chat
●
Fill-in some test data
