This is a simple series of steps to get something going with SQLite and Processing. It is based on the library available from bezier.de/processing/libs/sql/#download, which is available here for redundancy.

Download

New PDE sketch

  • Unzip the SQLibrary and copy the examples/SQLite_example1 folder into a new location. This will become the sketch you'll be using to test SQLite and Processing.
  • Edit the pde file and comment out the line
  import de.bezier.data.sql.*;
  • Your new sketch folder, also called SQLite_example1 should contain one file and one folder
    • SQLite_example1.pde
    • data
  • the data folder should contain an SQLite database called test.db

New Java Classes

  • Locate the SQL.java and SQLite.java programs in the source, de, bezier, data, sql folders, and copy them to the new SQLite_example1 folder.
  • This folder should now contain
    • code
    • data
    • SQL.java
    • SQLite_example1.pde
    • SQLite.java
(folders appear in italics)
  • Edit the two java programs and remove the package line.
  • Futhermore, change the declaration of the class in SQLite.java to read 
    public class SQLite extends SQL
  • The two modified files are available here.














New Library

  • copy the file sqlitejdbc-v053-pure.jar from the library folder of the unzipped archive you downloaded, and copy it into the code folder in your sketch folder.

Testing

  • That's it!
  • Try and run the sketch and verify that you get an output:
