Attributes
- URL → (Optional) The file path of the SQLite database on your system. SQLite is a file-based database, so instead of connecting to a server, you specify the path to the database file your application should use. This path can be absolute, pointing exactly where the file is located on the filesystem, or relative, based on the current working directory of your application. In its absence, SQLite starts a new database in memory that will not get persisted once the connection is closed.
Test connection
To test the connection you can:
- Create a query
.sql
in thequeries
directory that points to a table of your new connection in theFROM
clause. See the section SQL Syntax Basics to learn more. - Use the command line to run
latitude run query_file_name
wherequery_file_name
is the name of your.sql
file. This will display the results in your terminal. See the section Running queries to learn more about how to query your data.
