Since you are using AppDBPath as reference to your DB rest of code should work perfectly.

StorageFile databaseFile = await (PackageDBPath) StorageFile storageFile = await (AppDBPath) public const string AppDBPath = const string PackageDBPath = This solution copies the database to your Local folder only not inside Database folder. When you use await databaseFile.CopyAsync(), that means you are copying the selected data to Local folder(not inside Database folder) to copy it inside a database folder you would require to create a Database folder first and then copy the file inside that folder.įor now I am giving the simple solution of making changes to your AppDBPath to fix the error. The problem is the path that you are specifying. I also checked the permissions on the db file itself which isn't set to READ ONLY -įirstly thanks for the repo.

#PATH TO SQLITE MAC MAC OS#
(The db is attached as content and set to "copy always".) SQLite (version 3) comes pre-installed on Mac OS operating systems.

So I'm not too sure what could be wrong with the path. The error tells me that the db file couldn't be opened.ĭuring debugging I see that the DBPath is the same as the file location in my solution. So far the first condition if the existing db doesn't already exist works fine.īut when the line of code to copy the existing db from the solution folder to the device folder executes, I get an SQLite error.

I’m going to make more tutorials on how to use this SQLite database, soon.Overview - I've added some code to copy an existing database to the device's local folder. Pressing Connect, the connection was successfully created:Īnd I can see the file created in that folder, with zero KB of size: This is radically different from PostgreSQL, and MySQL and other big DBMS. SQLite is pretty cool because the database is contained in a file, which you can put pretty much everywhere you want.

I choose test.db, in the /Users/flaviocopes/ folder: You select a name, and type a database path. You create a new connection, choosing SQLite: I know there are macOS, Windows and Linux versions.

It comes with a free trial that’s perfect for our usage, because it’s not time-based but rather it limits the amount of concurrent connections you can make to the database.ĭownload it from.
#PATH TO SQLITE MAC UPGRADE#
You can upgrade SQLite using Homebrew, but for the sake of simplicity, I’m not going to cover this.Ī great software we can use to interact with a SQLite database is TablePlus. My macOS with Mojave comes with SQLite 3.24, and the latest version (at the time of writing) is SQLite 3.30. Press ctrl-C 2 times to exit the SQLite executable. It’s preinstalled in all modern versions of macOS.Īll you need to do is to open a terminal and run the sqlite3
#PATH TO SQLITE MAC INSTALL#
On macOS, you don’t need to do anything to install sqlite. Google “how to install sqlite on windows” for specific instructions. I’m a Mac user and I do not own a Windows computer, so I can’t write the instructions for Windows. In this tutorial I want to explain what you need to do to install SQLite.
