Introduction to SQLite
in Adobe AIR
Peter Elst - Flash Platform Consultant

Why SQLite in Adobe AIR?
■ Embedded SQL Database Engine
■ Implements most of SQL92
■ Light-weight, cross-platform, open source
■ No setup, configuration or server required
■ Each database is contained within a single file

How do you use it?
1. Create a File reference
2. Create an instance of flash.data.SQLConnection and
flash.data.SQLStatement
3. Open the database connection
4. Specify the connection and SQL query to run
5. Run SQLStatement.execute()

How do you use it?
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.data.*;
var dbFile:File =
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(\"contacts.db\");
var sqlConn:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
var sqlStatement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
sqlConn.open(dbFile);
sqlStatement.sqlConnection = sqlConn;
