Databases with SQlite using Python (Tutorial)
Introduction
An organized file for storing data is known as database. A database can be easily accessed and
developed through proper modeling, complex design and techniques. Normally a database can be
manipulated electronically from a computer. To communicate with the database, we need a DataBase
Management System (DBMS), that creates a bridge between the end user and data. DBMS offers a
facility to administer the data inside the database.

In this section of chapter, we will provide some useful links to install SQlite and the required
documentation for connecting python with existing databases or newly created databases. In these
links, a brief introduction is provided for SQlite. In the second section, steps are described to create
connection between database and python. While in third section, an example for database creation is
provided and in forth section, an exercise is given for practice.

1. Links
A brief introduction for SQlite and related information is briefly explained here:
https://www.sqlite.org/index.html

SQlite can be downloaded according to the operating system here:


https://www.sqlite.org/download.html

The required library is :

Connection between python and SQlite

Open command prompt and write: pip install db-sqlite3

Write the following code in python IDE: import sqlite3

Connecting to Database
The following Python code shows how to connect to an existing database. If the database does not exist,
then it will be created and finally a database object will be returned.

We can provide the name of the database here in this section :memory: to create a database in RAM
which can renewed each time. Run the above program to create a database test_abc.db in the directory,
while you can choose any kind of format such csv, text, etc. The path can be modified accordingly. Save
code in test.py file as required and execute the code. After successful execution the following message
will be displayed.

2. Create a Table
The following Python program can create a table in the previously created database. We need to create
the cursor to handle the database.
