SQLite for Delphi and FreePascal/Lazarus

SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain and is thus free for use for any purpose, commercial or private. SQLite is the most widely deployed SQL database engine in the world.

This package contains complete SQLite3 API translation for Delphi and FreePascal/Lazarus, as well as a simple Unicode-enabled object wrapper to simplify the use of this database engine.

Compatibility

Compatible with Delphi/C++Builder 6–XE3 and FreePascal/Lazarus.

Installation and usage notes

Unzip the package somewhere on your hard drive. Now you need to add the full path of the Source folder to your IDE options.

For Delphi 6–7 or C++Builder 6

Select Tools > Environment Options from the menu, then go to the Library tab and add the full path of this package's Source directory to the Library Path.

For Delphi 2005 and up, or C++Builder 2006 and up

Select Tools > Options from the menu, then select Environment Options > Delphi Options > Library - Win32, and add the full path of this package's Source directory to the Library Path.

For Lazarus

Select Environment > Options from the menu, then select CodeTools, and add the full path of this package's Source directory to the Search Path ("Additional source search path for all projects").

When using this translation in your projects, add the SQLite3 unit to the uses clause of your source file if you want to use SQLite3 API, and the SQLite3Wrap unit if you want to use the accompanying wrapper.

Do not forget to distribute the shared library (sqlite3.dll for Windows, sqlite3.so for Linux) with your program.
