Embeds the SQLite database engine in R, providing a DBI-compliant interface. [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html) is a public-domain, single-user, very light-weight database engine that implements a decent subset of the SQL 92 standard, including the core table creation, updating, insertion, and selection operations, plus transaction management.

You can install the latest released version from CRAN with:

```R

install.packages("RSQLite")

```

Or install the latest development version from GitHub with:

```R

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("r-dbi/RSQLite")

```

Discussions associated with DBI and related database packages take place on [R-SIG-DB](https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-db).

The website [Databases using R](https://db.rstudio.com/) describes the tools and best practices in this ecosystem.

## Basic usage

```{r}

library(DBI)

# Create an ephemeral in-memory RSQLite database

con <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")

dbListTables(con)

dbWriteTable(con, "mtcars", mtcars)

dbListTables(con)

dbListFields(con, "mtcars")

dbReadTable(con, "mtcars")

# You can fetch all results:

res <- dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM mtcars WHERE cyl = 4")

dbFetch(res)

dbClearResult(res)

# Or a chunk at a time

res <- dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM mtcars WHERE cyl = 4")

while (!dbHasCompleted(res)) {

  chunk <- dbFetch(res, n = 5)

  print(nrow(chunk))

}

# Clear the result

dbClearResult(res)

# Disconnect from the database

dbDisconnect(con)

```
