About Python Connector for SQLite

Access the SQLite database from Python applications to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on data.

Python Connector for SQLite is a reliable connectivity solution for accessing the SQLite database from Python applications to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on data. The solution fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification and is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Python Connector for SQLite Features

  • Direct Connection - The connector supports two SQLite library linking modes: static linking and dynamic linking. Static linking enables a direct connection to SQLite, so you don't have to deploy the SQLite libraries on user workstations. It supports native SQLite database encryption without requiring you to purchase an encryption extension for SQLite.
  • Database Encryption - To protect your data from unauthorized access, the connector provides embedded encryption capabilities in the Direct mode. The statically linked library provides SQLite database encryption without requiring you to purchase an encryption extension.
  • Fast Deployment - If your Python application must be deployed on multiple user workstations, you don't have to supply the SQLite libraries for every user since this connector supports a direct connection.
  • Database Compatibility - The connector is compatible with all SQLite versions, starting with SQLite 3.0.
  • Platform Support - The Python connector is available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit, macOS 64-bit, and Linux 64-bit.
  • Unicode-Compliant Connector - The Unicode-compliant connector lets you retrieve and update multilingual data, regardless of its character encoding (Chinese, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and more) in any language environment.
  • Data Types Support - The connector supports all SQLite and Python data types. It offers additional options to control data type mapping between the SQLite data types and Python data types.
