Using sling conns

Here are examples of setting a connection named SQLITE. We must provide the type=sqlite property:

# for local files 
$ sling conns set SQLITE type=sqlite instance=/path/to/file.db

# for local files (Windows), don't use backslash (\)
$ sling conns set SQLITE type=sqlite instance=C:/path/to/file.db

# for HTTP 
$ sling conns set SQLITE_HTTP type=sqlite instance=https://<url>

# for S3
$ sling conns set SQLITE_S3 type=sqlite instance=s3://<bucket>/<key> access_key_id=<access_key_id> secret_access_key=<secret_access_key>

# Or use url (only for local files)
$ sling conns set SQLITE url="sqlite:///path/to/file.db"

# url for Windows, don't use backslash (\)
$ sling conns set SQLITE url="sqlite://C:/path/to/file.db"

Environment Variable

export SQLITE='sqlite:///path/to/file.db'

$env:SQLITE="sqlite://C:/path/to/file.db" # For Windows PowerShell

Sling Env File YAML

connections:
  SQLITE:
    type: sqlite
    instance: <instance>

Specifying a SQLite Binary Path

If you already have SQLite on your machine and would like to use it (instead of having Sling download it), you can specify the binary path this way:

export SQLITE_PATH='/opt/homebrew/bin/sqlite'
