SQLite3 with JRuby and Sequel

I need to use SQLite3 with Jruby and Sequel gem on Windows.

require 'sequel'
DB = Sequel.sqlite

I got this error:

Sequel::AdapterNotFound: LoadError: no such file to load -- sqlite3

When i try to install sqlite3 gem it fails when building native extensions:

I've copied SQLite lib (sqlite3.dll, sqlite3.def) in jruby/bin folder.

JRuby official page sugget use activerecord-jdbc-adapter, but I need to create in memory db, not connecting to existing one.

How can I do?

My environment:
Jruby v. 9.1.13
Sequel v. 5.9.0
Windows Server 2012 R2

Solution

  • You want to use the Sequel jdbc adapter and the jdbc-sqlite3 gem:

    require 'sequel'
DB = Sequel.connect("jdbc:sqlite::memory:")

    FWIW, if you want an in-memory database with JRuby, h2, hsqldb, and derby may be better choices (and Sequel supports all of them).
