PSSQLite PowerShell Module
=============This is a PowerShell module for working with SQLite. It uses similar syntax to the [Invoke-Sqlcmd2](https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PowerShell/blob/master/Invoke-Sqlcmd2.ps1) function from Chad Miller et al.
This covers limited functionality; contributions to this function or additional functions would be welcome!
Caveats:
* Minimal testing.
* Today was my first time working with SQLite## Functionality
Create a SQLite database and table:
* ![Create a SQLite database and table](/Media/Create.png)Query a SQLite database, using parameters:
* ![Query a SQLite database](/Media/Query.png)Create a SQLite connection, use it for subsequent queries:
* ![Create a SQLite connection, use it](/Media/Connection.png)Insert large quantities of data quickly with transactions ([why?](http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q19)):
* ![Insert large quantities of data quickly](/Media/Transaction.png)## Instructions
```powershell
# One time setup
# Download the repository
# Unblock the zip
# Extract the PSSQLite folder to a module path (e.g. $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\)#Simple alternative, if you have PowerShell 5, or the PowerShellGet module:
Install-Module PSSQLite# Import the module.
Import-Module PSSQLite #Alternatively, Import-Module \\Path\To\PSSQLite# Get commands in the module
Get-Command -Module PSSQLite# Get help for a command
Get-Help Invoke-SQLiteQuery -Full# Create a database and a table
$Query = "CREATE TABLE NAMES (fullname VARCHAR(20) PRIMARY KEY, surname TEXT, givenname TEXT, BirthDate DATETIME)"
$DataSource = "C:\Names.SQLite"Invoke-SqliteQuery -Query $Query -DataSource $DataSource
# View table info
Invoke-SqliteQuery -DataSource $DataSource -Query "PRAGMA table_info(NAMES)"# Insert some data, use parameters for the fullname and birthdate
$query = "INSERT INTO NAMES (fullname, surname, givenname, birthdate) VALUES (@full, 'Cookie', 'Monster', @BD)"Invoke-SqliteQuery -DataSource $DataSource -Query $query -SqlParameters @{
full = "Cookie Monster"
BD = (get-date).addyears(-3)
}# View the data
Invoke-SqliteQuery -DataSource $DataSource -Query "SELECT * FROM NAMES"#Build up some fake data to bulk insert, convert it to a datatable
$DataTable = 1..10000 | %{
[pscustomobject]@{
fullname = "Name $_"
surname = "Name"
givenname = "$_"
BirthDate = (Get-Date).Adddays(-$_)
}
} | Out-DataTable#Insert the data within a single transaction (SQLite is faster this way)
Invoke-SQLiteBulkCopy -DataTable $DataTable -DataSource $DataSource -Table Names -NotifyAfter 1000 -verbose#View all the data!
Invoke-SqliteQuery -DataSource $DataSource -Query "SELECT * FROM NAMES"
```## Notes
This isn't a fully featured module or function.
I'm planning to write about using SQL from a systems administrator or engineer standpoint. I personally stick to [MSSQL and Invoke-Sqlcmd2](https://ramblingcookiemonster.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/sql-for-powershell-for-sql-newbies/), but want to provide an abstracted means to perform this without the prerequisite of an accessible MSSQL instance.
Check out Jim Christopher's [SQLite PowerShell Provider](https://psqlite.codeplex.com/). It offers more functionality and flexibility than this repository.
