Learn SQLite Tutorial

SQLite Tutorial provides basic and advanced concepts of SQLite. Our SQLite Tutorial is designed for beginners and professionals both.

If you have been working with other relational database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and you heard about SQLite. And you are curious to know more about it.

If your friends recommended you use SQLite database instead of simple files to manage structured data in your applications. You want to get started with SQLite immediately to see if you can utilize it for your apps.

If you are just starting out learning SQL and want to use SQLite as the database system.

If you are one of the people described above, this SQLite tutorial is for YOU.

SQLite is an open source, zero-configuration, self-contained, stand-alone, transaction relational database engine designed to be embedded into an application.

Basic SQLite tutorial

This section presents basic SQL statements that you can use with SQLite. You will first start querying data from the sample database. If you are already familiar with SQL, you will notice the differences between SQL-standard and SQL dialect in SQLite.

• SQLite Select – query data from a single table using SELECT statement.
• SQLite Order By – sort the result set in either ascending or descending order.
• SQLite Select Distinct – query unique rows from a table using the DISTINCT clause.
• SQLite Where  – filter rows of a result set using various conditions.
• SQLite Limit – constrain the number of rows that you want to return. The LIMIT clause helps you get necessary data returned by a query.
• SQLite IN – check if a value matches any value in a list of value or subquery.
• SQLite Like – query data based on pattern matching using wildcard characters: percent sign (%) and underscore (_).
• SQLite Glob – determine whether a string matches a specific UNIX-pattern.
• SQLite Group By – combine set of rows into groups based on specified criteria. The GROUP BYclause helps you summarize the data for reporting purposes.
• SQLite Having – specify the conditions to filter the groups summarized by the GROUP BY clause.
• SQLite Inner Join – query data from multiple tables using inner join clause.
• SQLite Left Join – combine data from multiple tables using left join clause.
• SQLite Cross Join – show you how to use the cross join clause to produce a cartesian product of result sets of the tables involved in the join.
• SQLite Self Join – join a table to itself to create a result set that joins rows with other rows within the same table.
• SQLite Union – combine result sets of multiple queries into a single result set. We also discuss the differences between UNION and UNION ALL clauses.
• SQLite Full Outer Join – show you how to emulate the full outer join in the SQLite using left join and union clauses.
• SQLite Case – add conditional logic to the query.
• SQLite Subquery – introduce you to the SQLite subquery and correlated subquery.

Mastering update data in SQLite

This section guides you how to update data in the table using insert, update, and delete statements.

• SQLite insert – insert rows into a table
• SQLite update – update data of the existing rows in a table.
• SQLite delete – remove existing rows from a table.

Working with database objects

In this section, we show you how to create database objects such as tables, views, indexes using SQL data definition language.

• SQLite Data Types – introduce you to the SQLite dynamic types system and its important concepts: storage classes, manifest typing, and type affinity.
• SQLite Create Table – show you how to use the CREATE TABLE statement to create a new table in the database.
• SQLite Primary Key – show you how to use PRIMARY KEY constraint to define the primary key for a table.
• SQLite AUTOINCREMENT – explain how AUTOINCREMENT attribute works and why you should avoid using it.
• SQLite Alter Table – show you how to use the ALTER TABLE statement to add a new row to an existing table and to rename a table. We also provide the steps for performing other actions such as drop a column and rename a column.
• SQLite Drop Table – guide you how to remove a table from the database.
• SQLite Create View – introduce you to the view concept and show you how to create a new view in the database.
• SQLite Index – teach you about the index and how to utilize indexes to speed up your queries.
• SQLite Index For Expressions – shows you how to use expression-based index.
• SQLite VACUUM – optimize database file.
• SQLite Trigger – manage triggers in SQLite database.

SQLite functions

SQLite aggregate functions

An aggregate function groups values of multiple rows into a single value that produces the measurement of the group e.g., minimum, maximum, average, total, etc. SQLite supports the following aggregate functions:

• SQLite AVG – return the average value of a group of values.
• SQLite COUNT – count the number of items in a set.
• SQLite MAX – find the maximum value in a set of values.
• SQLite MIN – find the minimum value in a set of values.
• SQLite SUM – return the sum of values in a set.
