An Ecto SQLite3 Adapter. Uses [Exqlite](https://github.com/elixir-sqlite/exqlite)
as the driver to communicate with sqlite3.
## Caveats and limitations
See [Limitations](https://hexdocs.pm/ecto_sqlite3/Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3.html#module-limitations-and-caveats)
in Hexdocs.
## Installation
```elixir
defp deps do
{:ecto_sqlite3, "~> 0.5.6"}
end
```
## Usage
Define your repo similar to this.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Repo do
use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :my_app, adapter: Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3
end
```
Configure your repository similar to the following. If you want to know more
about the possible options to pass the repository, checkout the documentation
for [`Ecto.Adapters.SQLite`](https://hexdocs.pm/ecto_sqlite3/). It will have
more information on what is configurable.
```elixir
config :my_app,
ecto_repos: [MyApp.Repo]
config :my_app, MyApp.Repo,
database: "path/to/my/database.db",
```
