Using SQLite with Classic ASP

I am building a "quick little" app which needs a small database.
I want to use Classic ASP (i.e. not ASP.NET), and I am wondering about SQLite for the database.

It is possible to use SQLite from Classic ASP?

How do I open / create / use a SQLite database from ASP?

Any help / pointers gratefully recieved!

Solution

  • It is easily possible.

    1. First install the ODBC driver from http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/
    2. Then you can connect with e.g. DRIVER=SQLite3 ODBC Driver;Database=mydb.sqlite;LongNames=0;Timeout=1000;NoTXN=0;SyncPragma=NORMAL;StepAPI=0;

    I would suggest looking at ajaxed library which offers you a data abstraction for any database. Just configure the connection string and start working ...
