To work with SQLite in Python, you don&#8217;t have to install any vendor-specific modules.<\/p>\n<p>The following code demonstrates how you can connect to a SQLite database using the <strong>sqlite3<\/strong> module and how you can do some basic manipulations :<\/p>\n<pre class=\"trim-whitespace:false lang:default decode:true \">#!\/usr\/bin\/python\n\nfrom sqlite3 import connect\n\n# Replace username with your own A2 Hosting account username:\nconn = connect('\/home\/username\/test.db')\ncurs = conn.cursor()\n\ncurs.execute(\"CREATE TABLE employees (firstname varchar(32), lastname varchar(32), title varchar(32));\")\ncurs.execute(\"INSERT INTO employees VALUES('Courtney', 'Kem', 'Engineer');\")\nconn.commit()\n\ncurs.execute(\"SELECT lastname FROM employees;\")\nfor (name) in curs.fetchall():\nprint name\n\nconn.close()<\/pre>\n<p>In this example shown, we have first created a <strong>Connection<\/strong> object that will open SQLite database. In case the test.db file exists already, Python will open that file. Otherwise, Python will create a new database in the test.db.<\/p>\n<p>Once we get a <strong>Connection<\/strong> object associated with the database, next we can create a Cursor object. The <strong>Cursor<\/strong> object allows us to run the <strong>execute()<\/strong> method, which then allows us to run raw SQL statements (like CREATE TABLE, SELECT, etc).<\/p>\n<p>At-last, we can call the <strong>close()<\/strong> method in-order to close the connection to the database.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about <strong>sqlite3<\/strong> method, visit this :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.python.org\/2\/library\/sqlite3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/docs.python.org\/2\/library\/sqlite3.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/how-to-connect-to-sqlite-using-php\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> How can I connect to SQLite using PHP?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/sqlite-vs-mysql\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> SQLite vs MySQL \u2013 How Different They Are?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article describes steps to connect to SQLite using Python.
