## INSTALL

* `gem install amalgalite`

## DESCRIPTION

Amalgalite embeds the SQLite database engine as a ruby extension. There is no

need to install SQLite separately.

Look in the examples/ directory to see

* general usage

* blob io

* schema information

* custom functions

* custom aggregates

* requiring ruby code from a database

* full text search

Also Scroll through Amalgalite::Database for a quick example, and a general

overview of the API.

Amalgalite adds in the following additional non-default SQLite extensions:

* [R*Tree index extension](http://sqlite.org/rtree.html)

* [Full Text Search](http://sqlite.org/fts5.html) - both fts3 and fts5

* [Geopoly Interface to R*Tree](https://www.sqlite.org/geopoly.html)

* [JSON Extension](https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html)

Other extensions are add that might not be usable/visible by users of the gem.

The full list of extensions added is in

[extconf.rb](ext/amalgalite/c/extconf.rb). And those may be cross referenced

against the [compile options from SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/compile.html)

## CREDITS

* Jamis Buck for the first [ruby sqlite implementation](http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/sqlite-ruby)
