Adb SQLite Provider

You can use this database (among others) in your ETL:

Note

Due to SQLite's typeless nature, certain SELECT queries (e.g. scalar and aggregate functions) must be preceded by a TYPES clause to specify the return types of the columns.

To specify return types for all but the third column, and get date text strings converted to DateTime:

TYPES [long], [short],, [DateTime];
SELECT 1, 2, 3, '2020-12-31';

Data Type Mappings

This section lists which database types map to or from which .NET types when querying a SQLite server and working with its database parameters. The listed .NET types below are fully supported by the dataflow.

Note

Mappings tagged with AdbColumnSchema below depend on whether or not an AdbColumnSchema is supplied to SetMappedType(AdbParameter, Type, AdbColumnSchema, ParameterDirection). Of the out of box workers, this is only supplied by AdbInsertTarget<TInputError>.

Provider-Independent .NET Types

.NET Type Display Name DbType enum SQL Type Example
System.Boolean, System.Boolean? Boolean boolean
System.Byte, System.Byte? Byte tinyint
System.Byte[] Binary binary(7), blob, varbinary(10)
System.DateTime, System.DateTime? DateTime datetime. Without AdbColumnSchema also: date.
System.DateTime, System.DateTime? Date With AdbColumnSchema: date
System.Decimal, System.Decimal? Decimal decimal(38,0), numeric(10,2)
System.Double, System.Double? Double double, float, real
System.Guid, System.Guid? Guid guid, uniqueidentifier
System.Int16, System.Int16? Int16 smallint
System.Int32, System.Int32? Int32 int
System.Int64, System.Int64? Int64 bigint, integer
System.Single, System.Single? Single float
System.String String char(32), clob, nchar(32), ntext, nvarchar(20), text, varchar(30)

Identifiers

  • Quoting character: double quote ", e.g. "My Table"
  • SQLite external documentation: SQLite Keywords

Note that dataflow column name matching is ordinal case insensitive, but a case sensitive match takes precedence over a case insensitive match. See Dataflow Column Mapping for details.

Parameters

Use named parameters of the format @MyParameterName. You can use GetPlaceholder(String) to get the placeholder in a portable manner.

The Adb Information example program dumps the below information with this provider querying a SQLite server. See that example for more information.

=== AdbConnection.SchemaInformationCollection ===
Note: The metadata schemas can be retrieved with AdbConnection.GetSchema().
The returned information is provided from the .NET provider as-is. Some collections
can be inaccurate, and different values can also be needed for different purposes,
which is why database specific actionETL providers can be created that replace
individual values with the desired ones. See the vendor provider documentation for
details on the returned information.
