Some useful URI tricks include
Open a database in read-only mode
>>> con = sqlite3.connect("file:tutorial.db?mode=ro", uri=True) >>> con.execute("CREATE TABLE readonly(data)") Traceback (most recent call last): OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database >>> con.close()
Do not implicitly create a new database file if it does not already exist; will raise ~sqlite3.OperationalError if unable to create a new file
>>> con = sqlite3.connect("file:nosuchdb.db?mode=rw", uri=True) Traceback (most recent call last): OperationalError: unable to open database file
Create a shared named in-memory database
db = "file:mem1?mode=memory&cache=shared" con1 = sqlite3.connect(db, uri=True) con2 = sqlite3.connect(db, uri=True) with con1: con1.execute("CREATE TABLE shared(data)") con1.execute("INSERT INTO shared VALUES(28)") res = con2.execute("SELECT data FROM
